Characterful property with 5 acres of land in the hills above Hebden Bridge

The ground floor accommodation is extremely stylishly appointed with a large, open-plan living/dining room at its centre. This room features Jacobean-style painted wall panelling as a stunning backdrop. Stone mullion windows, beamed ceilings, oak floors and doors lend a sense of rustic charm to the fabric of the building and yet there is every modern amenity. From a stable-door on one side and French windows on the other, there is access to wooded and landscaped gardens with long-reaching views of the surrounding countryside and a private area to sit and enjoy the location. A bird feeder regularly attracts woodpeckers, jays and other garden visitors and deer and hares can often be spotted in the woods. Last summer we were lucky enough to spend many a summer evening watching a barn owl hunting in the fields in front of the house!
Brian and Carolyn Harrison have used their knowledge of interiors garnered from over 30 years working as freelance journalists on national and international home-interest magazines to refurbish and decorate what is essentially part of their home – albeit completely separate with its own front and back doors. ‘We have tried to instil a real sense of home from home with every possible comfort included.’

The location is second to none for walking enthusiasts with some amazing routes accessed directly from the property up to the nearby heather-clad grouse moors or down to Colden Water – a beautiful woodland with river running through it.

As keen walkers ourselves and being semi-retired with a lively, energetic standard poodle called Ruby as part of the family, we know most of the local footpaths and can’t wait to share them with you.
Cycling is another very popular pastime in the area and the routes can be very challenging, which is why you often see mountain bikers using the area to practise for competitions. If you wish to bring your bikes – there is a locked and alarmed shed in which to store them.

If you just want to explore the area, there are plenty of interesting places to visit. Hebden Bridge itself - a really buzzing and vibrant little town - is only 2 miles away and can be reached by bus twice an hour from the top of our drive. Haworth – with the Bronte parsonage and its cobbled streets and quirky shops – is only 8 miles away and Halifax – location for the recent TV series Gentleman Jack and Last Tango in Halifax is 8.5 miles to the east by car. The larger conurbations of Leeds and Manchester are both accessible in around an hour by car, depending on traffic. There is also a good train service from Hebden to both cities.

Had a lovely time!
Loved The Barn and the location. Did a few bike rides which were great, and saw a barn owl and deer too. Hebden Bridge also has some really nice restaurants. Brian and Carolyn were very friendly and knowledgeable re the local area, with Brian providing us with a number of bikes route to try out. Altogether a very good holiday.

Wonderful Cottage - Everything you need.
This cottage is located in a lovely quiet spot with outstanding views. Brian and Carolyn are wonderful hosts and the check in process was exceptional with Carolyn providing all the information we would need for our stay. The cottage has everything you need and is lovingly decorated. Bed was extremely comfortable and the gas log fire is a very nice touch. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Beautiful getaway with a great vista overlooking Stoodley Pike. The barn is immaculate and to a very high spec. Spacious with plenty of character. Atmospheric.

Beautiful getaway near Hebden Bridge
This is a beautiful, stylish and very comfortable getaway in lovely countryside within easy reach (bus, car or 45 minute rural walk) of Hebden Bridge. The feel is relaxed but under that is meticulous attention to detail that makes this cottage a delight to stay in. Excellent facilities including a great shower and a convenient kitchenette with modern appliances. It’s right on the Pennine Way so perfect for walkers and there’s plenty of space to sit outside and enjoy the views (weather permitting, which it didn’t when we were there). The hosts, Carolyn and Brian, are very friendly and efficient and although they live on site (useful if you need help) they go about their own lives and leave guests to do the same. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed and would highly recommend.

A barn full of delight !
We have just returned from a delightful week at Sutcliffe Barn. Carolyn and Brian have been charming hosts and we have enjoyed our time in Hebden Bridge and the surrounding area immensely. We were lucky enough to get good views of the 2 resident barn owls on more than one occasion and the swallows flying in and out of their nesting site never fails to charm. There is so much to see and do in the area we will definitely need to return.

Lovely cottage in tranquil location
Lovely cottage, very nicely finished and plenty of room. Right next to the Pennine Way and there are lots of other well signposted public footpaths so it's quite easy to explore the area. There's a steep hill down into Hebden Bridge but quick enough in the car and there's a nice walking route if you've got time. Helpful hosts who were always available but not intrusive.

Perfection!
The Barn was an oasis - secluded away from roads & surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside with fab walks on the doorstep. The Barn was beautifully decorated & styled - if I could give it 20 out of 10 I would!

Sutcliffe Barn
Beautiful barn in a wonderfully peaceful part of the Pennines. Good pubs nearby and a short drive to Hebden Bridge where there are lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. Plenty of great footpaths on the doorstep and good birdwatching from the barn. Kind and friendly owners.

Absolutely perfect.
The property is amazing, more than we ever expected, with beautiful gardens and extensive grounds. Although the building is apparently 17th century, the internal refit nearly all furnishings are brand new, totally sympathetic and obviously expensive, from the ultra modern (fully equipped) German kitchen with Neff oven etc. to the huge bathroom. The bed and linen are wonderful. A winter stay would be so cosy with the gas 'log burner'. The attention to detail is faultless, from the dirty boot tray to the expresso machine. A complete home from home. This has been the first of many stays. Carolyn and Brian could not have been more helpful, and yet unobtrusive, I cannot rate this too highly, if there was an option of ten stars, that's how we would vote.
