HARMONY HOUSEHarmony House has been the much loved family home of the O’Hara family for the last 14 years. They had been searching for the right property for sometime before arranging a viewing as it was slightly over budget, however when they saw the incredible views from the rear aspect they instantly fell in love with the house and have been very happy there since. Overtime they increased the footprint to what is now a spacious dorma bungalow with a great deal of flexibility offering as many as 6 bedrooms if required.


Set within grounds of approximately 10 acres commanding breath-taking, cross-valley views, an excellent Equestrian facility boasting the most idyllic of countryside settings.

A substantial property versatile in layout enjoying formal gardens, whilst Equestrian facilities include enclosed paddocks, a turnout yard, stable block and ménage. Located on the edge of this popular village presenting a delightful opportunity for rural living whilst local services are numerous and include highly regarded schools; major commercial centres are easily accessible as is the M1 motorway network.

Seller Insight“The area is perfect for the horse lover with the land and stables allowing us to have the horses home with us for

the first time,” explains Mike. “On the weekends we would head off for the day with the horses on the Trans Pennine Trail offering miles of open riding, stopping for refreshments in one of the many country pubs before returning home, both exhausted and invigorated at the same time, collapsing into the hot tub to watch the sun set to end a perfect day,” continues Hazel.

The house is situated in an ideal location on the edge of a sought after village, but with views over open countryside. The two linked villages of Silkstone and Silkstone Common have a lovely community feel with many organized events throughout the year. There are two village pubs, steakhouse, bakery, garage with grocery shop and post office within walking distance from the house and the local school is very highly regarded. There is also a garden centre and farm shop, hairdresser and an equestrian shop. The motorway is with easy reach offering an accessible commute to both Leeds, Sheffield, Huddersfield and Wakefield. The Pennine market town of Penistone is only one stop away on the train with additional facilities including a market, variety of shops, cinema, supermarkets and an annual agricultural show with horses competing at county level.


“The garden is a passion of ours and we will miss that the most, along with the incredible view it offers. We

have a large family and often host family celebrations with all five generations gathering in the garden. The kitchen offers plenty of room for both Mike and I to prepare a feast from the fresh fruit and vegetables we have grown and we enjoy dining on the elevated terrace soaking up the country atmosphere.”


Beyond the stables we have the ménage and I will cherish the memories of our children and grand children learning to ride and developing a passion for horses and the idyllic country lifestyle Harmony House has given us.


“My favorite room is our master bedroom it is a real retreat and I would never tire of the view from here. I love to sit and watch the ever-changing vista it is very peaceful. You can

watch the ducks and geese frolic in the pond with the valley stretching out ahead offering the most spectacular country views.”
