A VAST eight-bedroom property with its own 40ft pirate ship in the back garden has hit the market for £1.68million.
The stunning barn conversion – located on the outskirts of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire – boasts a spacious lounge, kitchen and breakfast room, as well as a cinema room.
However, its greatest attraction is its huge pirate ship in the backyard, nestled in a roomy 10 acres of land.
The current owner Chris Willett bought the fishing trawler and converted it into a replica pirate vessel for his son.
It features a captain’s cabin, cannons and is topped with a skull and crossbones.
Estate agents have described the unique conversion as the “most remarkable” part of the house.
The property, known as New Laithe Farm, is located in scenic Upper Denby, a historic hamlet with expansive views of Yorkshire’s Pennine Hills.
With two bedrooms on the ground floor, and another six upstairs – along with three bathrooms – the property is far from cramped.
Its modern decor elegantly complements its original farmhouse features, such as the exposed beams.
Simon Blyth estate agents is managing the property, which is also on Rightmove.
A Simon Blyth spokesperson said: “Sat in approximately 10 acres and with stunning, long distance views, this beautifully positioned Yorkshire farm has many fabulous features.
“And a superbly appointed interior offering a great deal of flexibility.
“Just out of the much-loved village of Upper Denby, the home boasts impressive gardens, grounds and land, and also features a pirate ship.
“This original boat, brought from Cornwall and adapted, takes full advantage of 360 degree views.”
They described the replica pirate ship as the “ideal space” for sitting outside and soaking up the beautiful views.
“Given the boat’s height, there is an element of feeling as though you are out at sea,” they said.
“There is also an upper level and galley quarters which are enclosed.”
One home hunter siad: “Who wouldn’t want a pirate ship in the garden?”
Another added: “I like that.”
One joked: “The closest sea is roughly 75 miles away to the west and to the east of course you need a pirate ship.”
A fourth said: “A pretty much the furthest you can get from the sea in the UK.”
