Take a look inside local author's beautiful £1m Penistone home with river frontage and fishing rights

Sheffield-born author Jacqueline Creek fell in love with Starling House near Penistone 37 years ago but, at that time it was not for sale. It took a further 21 years before she and her husband John were able to buy it and they have enjoyed 16 happy years there.

Sadly, age and ill-health have caught up with them and they want to move into a smaller and more manageable property, so Starling House on Birks Lane, Millhouse Green, is on the market.
