‘A Grand Design’

Approaching the end of a private drive, you would be forgiven for thinking you were on the set of a ‘Grand Design’. A breathtaking home that looks like it leaped from the pages of an architectural magazine. Named in honour of William Cattley, Cattleya is nestled in 1.8 acres in the Heart of the Cragg Wood Conservation area. Steeped in history with worship and a world renowned Orchid nursery, this property plays part in a fascinating story of a historic area of Rawdon. The land in which this impressive dwelling sits, has been an active part of history dating back to the early 1700’s. Fast forward to 2014, when this plot become the backdrop for this impressive five bedroom family home.

This unique haven welcomes you with a sleek bridge that leads to the front door. Stepping inside, you’re immediately struck by the luxury underfoot: Amtico walnut flooring with the warmth of wet underfloor heating. A stunning Yorkshire sandstone feature wall and a bespoke oak staircase with an aluminium frame set the tone for this extraordinary residence.

Your journey through Cattleya begins in the heart of the home—the breathtaking, living, dining kitchen. With a sloping ceiling and windows on three sides, light pours into this space, highlighting the exquisite Brazilian igneous rock countertops and central island. Picture yourself gathering around the island, surrounded by top-of-the-line Siemens appliances, including three ovens and a full-length separate fridge and freezer. The floor-to-ceiling drinks shelf, lit to perfection, is a centerpiece designed for entertaining.

From the hallway, a guest w.c. fitted with Porcelain tiles and Duravit sanitary ware offers convenience and style. Step out onto the fabulous sun terrace with composite decking and a glass balustrade, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

The rear of the home boasts a generous living room with more of that beautiful walnut flooring and bi-folding doors that open to the expansive garden. A few steps up, a cozy office/study awaits, complete with a bespoke bookshelf and sliding library ladder—ideal for working from home or quiet reading.
The main bedroom is a retreat unto itself. Hidden wall lighting sets the mood, while a stone feature wall adds a touch of nature indoors. The dressing room features custom-fitted wardrobes with hidden storage and lighting, and the en-suite bathroom is a spa-like sanctuary with Porcelanosa tiles, a rain sensor Velux window, and a Hansgrohe rainshower.

Four additional double bedrooms on the ground floor offer plenty of space for family and guests, two of which have fitted wardrobes. Two superb bathrooms feature Duravit fittings, ensuring everyone has access to luxury. Moreover, ideally positioned adjacent to the family bedrooms, is a spacious utility area comprising of three rooms including a comms and store room with a Siemens washing machine and a Peko drying cabinet providing storage you would struggle to fill. 

And purposefully saving the best till last, where reproduction spaceship doors pull you inside a full replica of the ‘Millennium Falcon’ flight deck, and you don’t have to be a movie buff to appreciate the cinema and games rooms. This space is one of a kind and took two years to complete. The aesthetics transport you inside the theatre and drama of ‘Star Wars’ where this incredible room has been designed for ultimate relaxation and entertainment, featuring a full size pool table, games and drinks area, surround sound, a projector screen, and fully reclining cinema seats. 

The grounds are just as impressive as the interior.

A spacious driveway leads to a double garage with electric doors. The south-facing dining pavilion is ideal for alfresco dining, while the Hydropool swim spa and hot tub offer a relaxing retreat. Explore the Japanese Zen Garden, complete with granite statues from Japan and original tiled steps leading to a private woodland.

A detached building, now converted and fully serviced, provides additional space ideal for a gym or annex with a large room and a spacious shower room, easily convertible to include a bedroom and kitchen, offering flexibility for guests or extended family.

Located perfectly for the cosmopolitan cities of Leeds and Bradford, with the Leeds Bradford International Airport just a short drive away, and Apperley bridge railway station a 5 minute drive connecting you to the national rail network, Cattleya is ideal for international commuters.

Greystones, Carleton Road, Pontefract

**GREYSTONES**

Greystones is a fine example of a detached Victorian property – dating back to the 1900s yet bursting with practicality for modern family living.
Formerly owned by the local Methodist church, the walls are steeped in history and bursting with period features from the moment you step foot through the grand entrance onto the original Victorian Minton floor tiles.

With an equally charming double fronted exterior boasting bay windows crafted from local sandstone and Nostell brick, the interiors have been sympathetically renovated throughout to inject a modern twist while retaining the character of its era.
Inside you’ll find tall ceilings, large reception rooms and four double bedrooms offering ample space and versatility for a growing family.
The plot also consists of a secluded leafy garden and garage at the rear, plus a block-paved driveway with plenty of off-street parking which isn’t always a guarantee when it comes to properties with this timestamp. 

A timeless kitchen

Once you’ve admired the stunning entrance, head straight down the hallway to the dining kitchen which occupies the main footprint to the rear of the property. 
Overlooking the garden through a dual-aspect view, this charming space is bright, expansive and a true family hub designed for socialising. 
The first thing the current owners did on arrival to their new home some 13 years ago was tear up the old carpet to expose the original terracotta floor tiles which have become a staple part of the home’s identity. 
Distressed painted doors and wood panelling around the outer add interest to the otherwise neutral and timeless cream shaker-style cupboards topped with a solid oak worktop. 
All the hallmarks of a farmhouse kitchen have been carefully considered, including the Falcon range oven taking centre stage and the deep-set Belfast sink beneath the window. With space for a large dining table and butcher’s block to gather round, extra storage can also be found in the utility room next door which features an additional countertop sink and rear access to the garden. The ground floor W/C is tucked away in the corner – bursting with personality and inspired by ‘The Ivy’ decor with bright floral wallpaper and a traditional high cistern. 

Harnessing the home’s heritage

Behind the double bay windows at the front are two stunning reception rooms to discover. 
The first on the left is the formal lounge which encompasses the home’s heritage encased in period deep charcoal walls where the high ceilings really come into play. With ample floor space for oversized furniture and statement pieces, the former dining room has become a cosy retreat for the family to relax. The roaring cast iron stove was a more recent addition to the central fireplace – despite its antique appearance.
Occupying the second bay window across the hallway is the delightful sitting room. Equal in size but in contrast to the dark and striking atmosphere of the lounge, the additional window at the rear creates a wonderful dual-aspect light space and the white picture rail design below the coving makes the room feel even bigger. A second fireplace adds character to the room, featuring a slate tiled chimney breast and a cast iron log-burning stove for the ultimate homely feel. 

A reason to fall in love

The sweeping Victorian staircase was one of the first features the current homeowners fell in love with. 
As you reach the first floor passing the gallery wall, you’ll be greeted with a beautiful bright bay window at the top of the landing which has become a perfect secluded reading spot to watch the world go by. A regal style welcome to the sleeping quarters surrounding it – and just as elegant from the outside as it sits beneath the stone turrets. 

Stylish charm 

There are two contenders for the master bedroom in the front facing rooms that are positioned directly above the two main ground floor reception rooms. Each of these generous spaces feature a large window and the same high ceilings as you’ve seen throughout the property, with chimney breasts to create alcoves. One of the bedrooms has a feature period cast iron fireplace which has since been closed up.

Curated aesthetic

The chic family bathroom sits centrally between bedrooms three and four and combines modern styling with a nod to the period heritage of the home. 
A traditional roll top bathtub sits upon unique corrugated metal flooring with a freestanding chrome tap against the panelled walls to finish the curated aesthetic. Finishing the four-piece suite is a raised walk-in shower enclosure complete with a quirky metallic backdrop. 

Calming décor 

The final two bedrooms at the rear both enjoy garden views and are ample sized doubles. As you’d expect from the rest of the home, neutral calm decor runs throughout with soft carpet underfoot.

Botanical garden 

A deceivingly spacious and leafy garden space awaits at the rear of the property and wraps around the house – accessed via the gates from the driveway or via the utility door. 
When the current owners arrived, only one rosemary bush was in situ. As the garden stands today, it is surrounded by textured greenery and luscious plants to create a private botanical haven full of vibrancy. 
Multiple zones have been created around the lawn for relaxing and hosting, including the raised wooden deck which is perfect for gathering around the firepit on a summer’s evening. 
The single garage at the end of the driveway offers premium storage space and the final addition to the outdoor living area is the office studio summerhouse– perfect for remote working away from the main hustle and bustle of the home.

Area to explore

Located on the fringes of Pontefract’s market town and surrounded by other Victorian properties, this is a fantastic spot and one of the most sought after locally. You’re a short walk away from the town centre which you’ll want to take advantage of over the weekend. Pontefract town centre has undergone something of a regeneration with new bars, cafes and independent shops opening up for business. There are also a number of lovely restaurants to choose from so heading out for an evening meal doesn’t mean travelling far.
You also have two secondary schools and a wide choice of primaries for the little ones right on your doorstep. 
But when school’s out the family have plenty to keep you occupied. Xscape leisure centre is a short drive away and full of attractions including a cinema, bowling alleys, climbing walls and a dry ski slope. Even closer is Pontefract racecourse and Aspire health centre with a gym and swimming all recently opened and in pristine condition.
A move here will give you excellent educational and recreational options as well as ensuring you’re well-placed nearby to the UK’s motorway network with the A1 and M62 each within a couple of miles for easy access to Leeds, Manchester, York, Hull and further afield to the North, South, East and West.

Wood Farmhouse Doncaster Road, Goole

**WOOD FARMHOUSE**

A contemporary family home that is steeped in character and bursting with period features is often hard to come by, but that’s exactly what you’ll find here at Wood Farmhouse.
Dating back to the 1800s and perfectly located in the North Yorkshire village of Whitley, this unique four-bedroom property has been completely renovated yet enjoys all the rustic charm of a traditional farmhouse.
The classic double fronted exterior is coupled with an immaculate private garden, plus two garages and a workshop that are ripe for conversion should you be keen for a project. 
Step inside to appreciate the care and attention to detail that has been poured into retaining the heritage of this one-of-a-kind home.

A STUNNING START
The property features both front and rear entrances with an expansive block paved driveway at the back, concealed behind secured wooden gates. 
Catch a glimpse of the immaculate garden before you head in through the rear door to land in the utility room which has been designed as a charming boot room to practically complement the kitchen next door. 
Characterful details and traditional touches from the Yorkshire stone floor to the oak internal doors and column radiators that feature throughout, set the tone for the home ahead. 

HANDCRAFTED TO PERFECTION
Epitomising countryside living, the light and bright kitchen is a real showstopper. This stunning room has been stripped back and restored to create a design fit for modern living while retaining historical features including rustic oak beams and a Rangemaster oven taking centre stage within the chimney breast. Bespoke pine shaker-style units are topped with new granite worktops and utilise every inch of space effectively to wrap around the dining table in the middle. 
Owing to the glass paned doors and large window overlooking the garden, natural light pours through effortlessly, making this the perfect breakfast spot to prepare for the day ahead. 

STYLE AND SOPHISTICATION
For more formal occasions, the traditional dining room is next door which lends itself to hosting dinner parties and Christmas gatherings. 
Tall ceilings coupled with the large bay window featuring original wooden shutters add a sense of grandeur and sophistication. 
The room is finished beautifully with an original cast iron fireplace that was relocated from one of the first-floor bedrooms to give it the limelight it deserves. 

A FEELING OF HOME
Across the hallway at the front of the house, the largest reception room is the outstanding lounge. Classic and timeless in style, mirroring some of the period features that we have seen so far including original beams, window shutters and high ceilings, this really is a homely space for all the family to enjoy. The decorative antique fireplace comes into its own during the winter months when the embers are glowing, but equally in the spring and summer you’ll enjoy a peaceful view out to your front garden. 


TASTEFULLY TUCKED AWAY
Down a couple of steps to the lower level is a converted versatile space currently used as a snug for the teenagers and finished with engineered wood flooring. With ample space for a large corner sofa and tucked away from the main living areas, this could equally serve as a fantastic playroom, office or cinema room thanks to the minimal window light and spotlights overhead. 

TRIUMPH OF A RENOVATION
It’s unusual to claim the family bathroom as one of the highlights of a home, but as you ascend the stairs towards the first floor, this triumph of a renovation sits on the mid-level above the snug, before you reach the bedrooms. 
Despite the luxury fittings surrounding you, your eyes will instantly be drawn to the low weathered ceiling beams sporting some of the old hooks and markings from when this was used in the farm. 
A gorgeous four-piece suite effortlessly combines the best of old and new with a traditional roll top bath and low-level W/C, contrasted with a contemporary large tiled enclosure featuring a rainfall shower head. 
The period style column radiator and counter-top wash basin finish the space perfectly, wrapped in tongue and groove panelled walls for a calming, relaxing atmosphere. 

LUXURIOUS MASTER
On the first floor you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms of which the Master is the largest. 
Situated at the front of the house above the dining room, there’s ample space for a super king-sized bed, plus freestanding furniture. 
The original farmhouse style doors continue throughout this level – one of which leads to an impressive en-suite which sits above the utility room. 
Taking style inspiration from the main bathroom, you’ll find a second freestanding tub with telephone style taps and a large walk-in shower. The ‘Jack & Jill’ double sinks and seamless chic tiles running floor to ceiling make you feel like you’ve stepped into a hotel suite. 

TIMELESS DECOR
Bedroom two next door is almost equal in size with the added detail of a shallow chimney breast. 
With soft neutral carpet underfoot, timeless decor and high ceilings emphasising the natural light – anyone who resides here is in for a great night’s sleep. 
The third and fourth bedrooms are both comfortable doubles which would make beautiful children’s rooms. Both face the rear of the property, enjoying a view of the garden and the village beyond.

AN EXTENSIVE EXTERIOR OFFERING
As you head back out of the rear door, you’ll be able to appreciate the scope of the exterior offering. You’ll enjoy peace and privacy in the garden within your walled and hedge lined boundary surrounding the lawn. 
A perfectly positioned summerhouse enjoys the sunrays all day long, and the garages wrap around the courtyard driveway which doubles up as a vast patio space during BBQ season. 
Beyond the electric roller garage door, you’ll discover a wonderful space that has been boarded out, fitted with spotlights and currently sporting Porsche-themed flooring – perfect for any race car enthusiast! Above this section and the garage workshop is a second storey in the loft that has huge potential for an annexe conversion. 
Completing the tour is the picturesque front garden encased with an iron picket fence, featuring a mature monkey puzzle tree and paved pathway leading to the intricate oak porch providing the ultimate kerb appeal.

Bridge End House, Birkin

**BRIDGE END HOUSE**

Bridge End House, a stone-built barn conversion, boasts four excellent bedrooms and generously light-filled living spaces, providing an ideal setting for family life in the countryside. Nestled in the quiet Yorkshire countryside, within the hamlet of Birkin, the home sits under the watchful gaze of the 12th-century church. Make your way across the graveled track and park up in the private driveway, where there is plenty of room for four or five cars and infrastructure for an EV charging point. The garage is boarded and insulated to create a usable space, ideal for a gym or workshop. There is also a covered carport at the side.

A warm welcome
The double doors to the front open up into the entrance hallway, bathed in natural light from the fanlight above the door and the ceiling which towers up to the gallery landing above. There is space for a reading nook or small study area and to the right a useful W/C.
In the middle of the property is a formal dining room, with access into the family kitchen, making an open flow through the property, which is ideal for hosting parties.

Lovely living spaces
At either end of the ground floor, you will find the main living spaces; one is a comfortable lounge with access via double doors into the kitchen.

The range style electric cooker is there for you to prepare your favourite dishes and there is also an integrated Neff dishwasher and a fridge. Double doors lead out to the courtyard. The dining area shares this space, meaning the children can sit and do their homework while you’re preparing the food. On larger social occasions, you can host a dinner party without the chef for the night being segregated.

Space for muddy boots
Doubling up as another entrance, the utility is the most frequently used way into the home, with space for muddy boots after your country walks. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer, built into cream units, topped with granite and includes a stainless steel sink.
Finally, on the ground floor, there is an office positioned at the rear of the property. This room offers the perfect place to work from home being away from the hustle and bustle of the main living spaces.

Bedrooms two and three are both of a good size and have those charming exposed roof trusses. An en-suite shower room to bedroom two makes this a perfect room for guests or an older child.
The final bedroom on this floor has a ladder that gives access to a mezzanine floor. Every child will fight over this room with this feature cosy den to climb up to. 

Soak away
The family bathroom has a fitted bathtub complete with a W/C, pedestal hand basin and heated towel rail. The walls are tiled halfway and the décor is neutral throughout creating a calming ambience.

A garden to cherish

The gardens are private and enclosed by hedges and stone walls. Facing south is the terrace, a sun trap where you can enjoy alfresco lunches in the midday sun. The lawn extends to the side of the property, which faces west. Here, abundant fruit trees ripen throughout the summer until they are ready to harvest in autumn and turn into fruit pies and jams. A separate area with a greenhouse and a wooden shed is ready for you to grow your own veg.

Riverside Lodge, Water Lane, Kirk Smeaton

**RIVERSIDE LODGE**

Riverside Lodge – a unique stone fronted detached property – is positioned right in the heart of the sought-after village of Kirk Smeaton.
Built in the 1970s and recently renovated throughout, the modern interiors and quirky inverted layout have been designed to maximise on the enviable rural views that can be enjoyed from the rear aspect and large garden. Spanning across three floors and offering expansive living space including five bedrooms – plus a self-contained one bed annex – the versatility and potential within this beautiful family home is endless.  
The house is set back from the road with a stone boundary wall and winding block paved driveway that leads to the entrance door. As you enter from the front porch, you’ll be greeted with a spacious hallway that leads to the main bedrooms and an open staircase that leads up to the reception rooms on the first floor, which is a quirk of the property with the reason soon to be revealed! 

ENVIABLE MASTER
At the end of the hallway on the ground floor and overlooking the garden is the impressive master suite – occupying almost a third of the floorplan.  
Divided into three zones for sleeping, dressing and showering, this impressive master comes complete with a large dressing room fitted with floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobes, plus a luxurious en-suite. The recently renovated shower room is fully tiled with a chic marble design and boasts a modern corner cubicle with a chrome rainfall shower head, contemporary white goods including a wall-hung vanity basin and W/C. 

MODERNISED IN STYLE
The family bathroom next door was updated at the same time as the en-suite and follows a cohesive aesthetic, in a larger format with a double shower unit. 

PRACTICIALITY APLENTY
Completing this wing of the ground floor is a series of practical spaces that have versatility to transform your family living. 
An immaculate and generously sized utility room which serves as a cloakroom and laundry area leads into the garage where a new boiler also resides. An electric roller door, sturdy storage units and a pit for mechanical work have been installed for tinkering with vehicles over the years. 
Bedroom five is a modest single room and currently used as a home office but could equally be utilised as a children’s playroom if the extra beds are not required. 

AMPLE DOUBLE BEDROOMS
The remaining three bedrooms run alongside each other from front to back on the second half of the ground floor, ending with bedroom two which is the largest of the three and overlooks the garden. 
All three are well proportioned doubles, offering ample floor space to accommodate built-in wardrobe storage. 
Head upstairs and at the top you’ll find an expansive gallery landing with tall ceilings and space for seating or a large bookcase – which is the perfect entrance to the living quarters.

MAKING THE MOST OF THE VIEW
The dual aspect sitting room is the first of three reception rooms and reveals the main reason for the ‘upside down’ layout of the home. Patio doors at the rear lead out to an elevated balcony patio with jaw-dropping rural views of the fields that divide Kirk Smeaton and Little Smeaton. 
A log burner set within the chimney breast beneath an oak mantel cement this as a cosy space to relax in winter as well as summer when the doors are wide open. No matter what the season, you’ll enjoy peaceful hours of watching the colours change and wildlife including woodpeckers, herons and rabbits on your doorstep. 

A PLACE TO WIND DOWN
The balcony can also be accessed via the snug next door which was formerly the dining room. This versatile space is now the perfect spot to wind down and watch a film – but the potential to use it as a dining space where you could extend to al fresco living is equally appealing. 

BRIGHT AND REFRESHING
The final living area is the beautiful lounge situated at the front of the house. With light pouring from every aspect including the double French doors from the landing.
This room is bright and refreshing with a touch of elegance from the decor. A traditional dado rail runs across the centre, breaking up the tall ceilings and the built-in alcove storage really maximises on the height. 

A PRISTINE RENOVATION
The ultra-modern, dual-aspect kitchen enjoys the same garden and field views, making it a lovely spot for a morning coffee at the dining table or when standing at the strategically positioned sink. 
Slick cream handleless units are contrasted with shimmery black worktops and high-gloss floor tiles for a contemporary finish. 
Quality appliances include a Bosch induction hob with a modern angled extractor hood, double wall-mounted oven and space for two oversized larder fridge-freezers. 
With a final side access door out to the balcony, it’s the perfect hosting space for summer, connecting seamlessly via the patio to the living spaces. 
Before you head back downstairs to explore the bedrooms, the final door off the landing leads to a spacious W/C complete with vanity units and Victorian tile effect flooring. 

MAXIMISING OUTDOOR SPACE
The views from Riverside Lodge speak for themselves and the current owners have worked tirelessly to create a pristine exterior space to complement the al fresco balcony that sits above it.
Enter the rear garden either via the spiral staircase from the balcony or the side gates from the front driveway and you’ll find an expansive lawn with the wonderful countryside backdrop extending beyond the boundary. With ample space for the children to play and a beautiful Italian porcelain paving that spans the width of the house, there’s plenty of scope to maximise your outdoor living potential. 

LUXURY LOWER GROUND
To complete the accommodation, the property features a bonus studio annex within the lower ground floor. With direct access from the garden via patio doors, this self-contained apartment is pristine – having never been occupied since it was transformed from a home gym. 
Featuring a fully fitted modern kitchen complete with breakfast bar and seating area and a double bedroom complete with a contemporary marble wet room, this private hideaway is perfect for teenagers or guests to enjoy privacy away from the rest of the living spaces. 

AREA TO EXPLORE
Bordering the River Went, the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Kirk Smeaton is one of the local area’s most desirable locations.
Next to its sister village Little Smeaton, this spot is rurally idyllic and renowned for its warm country charm. There’s an abundance of woodland walks on your doorsteps as you’re surrounded by open fields and the peaceful patter of Brockadale Woods and Nature Reserve.
Setting up home here will almost certainly see you fall in love with the tightknit and welcoming community who will become your new village neighbours.
A familiar story to other Yorkshire villages, the Shoulder of Mutton pub is the focal point for community gatherings. The weekly quiz night and Thursday evening visit from a local fish and chip van are among the highlights of the week for the locals.
Opposite is a small post office which stocks everyday essentials and you’re also just a short drive away from the market town of Pontefract when you need a bit more than is on offer here.
The village primary school is highly rated and when your little ones graduate there are a choice of secondary schools in Pontefract or the Quaker School in Ackworth for a private option.
Despite the calm and peaceful surroundings, you’re still just a two-minute drive from the A1 meaning you can connect to the wider motorway network easily and commute to York, Wakefield, Leeds and Doncaster daily.

Westwinds, Ackworth

**1 WESTWINDS**

A FOREVER HOME IN AN EXCLUSIVE LOCATION

No.1 Westwinds forms part of an exclusive development that has been renowned as an upmarket pocket of High Ackworth since it was built in the early 2000s.
Offering privacy and prestige in abundance, this spacious six-bedroom property has everything you’d desire to accommodate a growing family and true forever home status. 
Immaculately presented throughout with an updated open-plan kitchen and stylish modern bathrooms, it really is ready to move straight in. 
From the imposing stone exterior you’ll note the integral double garage, plus a large driveway complete with an electric charging point for maximum practicality. 
Look beyond the home and it’s difficult not to appreciate the rolling field views across the road, but you’ll also have access to a private woodland shared by the Westwinds residents to walk the dogs and enjoy time with the children without having to leave your postcode. 

EXPLORE THE FABULOUS HOME AHEAD

From the moment you walk through the front door, you’ll be able to appreciate the scale of this fabulous family home. The spacious entrance hall boasts clean lines and stylish touches from the oak accents to the grey cottage-style internal doors that feature throughout. 
Head straight through – past the stairs – and you’ll find the highlight of the ground floor at the rear of the property. 

MAXIMISE ON FAMILY TIME

The kitchen was renovated just a few years ago and what stands out immediately is the abundance of natural light pouring in through the impressive bay window with a backdrop view of the garden. 
Here is where the dining table sits – perfectly situated to spend hours gazing outdoors, alongside French doors which are flung open in the summer when the BBQ parties are in full swing. 
The whole space was designed to maximise on family time and to create a social hub for relaxing in an open plan format. 
You’ll find modern appliances concealed behind contemporary grey shaker style units and a double range oven with gas hob taking centre stage. Solid oak worktops surrounding the perimeter offer ample space for preparation, plus a perfect place to perch with a drink at the centre island. 
Additional storage and the laundry appliances can be found in the separate utility room which is tucked behind an internal door, offering side access to the garden. 

SPACE TO RELAX

The dual-aspect lounge is equally well proportioned and also enjoys views of the garden, featuring a second set of French doors leading out to the patio. 
Despite its generous size, the traditional log burner set below an oak mantel adds a cosy warmth to the room as the cold evenings draw in. 
As you head back into the hallway and towards the stairs, you’ll pass an internal door to the garage and a W/C on your right.
Just beyond this – situated at the front of the property – is the office which was once the former dining room. 
This versatile space is a great example of the potential with this property where the rooms can be adapted as you grow. The now office-come-storage room would make a brilliant playroom or even a ground floor bedroom depending on your family dynamics. 

AN IMPRESSIVE MASTER

Ascend to the first floor where you’ll find four of the six bedrooms, each with luxury grey carpet underfoot creating a cohesive neutral aesthetic throughout the home.  
The impressive master suite sits directly above the garage which gives you an idea of the bedroom floor space. As you’d expect from a house of this calibre, a private dressing room with fitted wardrobe storage and a chic en-suite complete with a huge double shower ensures a zen start to the day. 

LUXURIOUS DOUBLES

Bedroom two across the landing is a large double and looks out onto the garden at the rear of the property, featuring a second en-suite. 
No less grand in design, the shower room is fully tiled from floor to ceiling in modern grey tones with a large shower enclosure. This would make a perfect guest suite or teenager’s bedroom for added privacy. 
Sitting opposite, bedroom three is a beautifully bright dual-aspect double room with fitted wardrobes and wonderful field views. 

RENOVATED WITH STYLE

The family bathroom is just next door, continuing the theme of modern luxury after being renovated a few years ago. A large free-standing bathtub with floor-standing tap is part of a four-piece suite alongside a large rainfall shower. 
The final space on this floor is bedroom six. This is currently used as a beautiful office space which enjoys the same rural outlooks across Ackworth and beyond. 
With ample room for a cot or single bed, this could quite easily be styled as a children’s room with minimal effort required. 

SPACIOUS SECOND FLOOR

Nestled into the apex of the roof are the final two double bedrooms on the second floor – both offering interesting character and charm. 
Bedroom five features a cute round portal window above the bed which you might have noticed on the gable end from outside.
Bedroom four is a truly unique space. Illuminated with ceiling spotlights and Velux windows, the shape lends itself to forming a studio-style room with a separate area for relaxing and studying. 

ENTERTAIN WITH EASE

The rear garden is designed to be minimalistic and low maintenance – perfect for those with a busy family lifestyle that still love to entertain. 
An Indian stone patio spans the whole width of the house providing a large area for seating and dining and, as you’ve already seen, is easily accessed via the two main reception rooms. 
The main lawn is laid with faux grass, securely surrounded by a turreted stone wall and grey wooden fencing to complement the interiors. 

AREA TO EXPLORE

Nestled on the edge of the sought-after village of Ackworth, you are located in rural surroundings but with the convenience of village amenities right on your doorstep. 
A Co-op supermarket, petrol station, garden centre, doctor’s surgery and a wealth of local businesses in the area mean you won’t need to leave the village, but the larger towns of Pontefract and Wakefield are both within 15 minutes’ drive. 
Ackworth is renowned as a desirable area in West Yorkshire and has a healthy mix of pubs and bars to enjoy – including the Brown Cow, easily accessible by foot. 
The commute to school for the children is simple and you’ll be in the catchment area for a choice of primary and secondary options, as well as a private education offering at Ackworth School which is within a two-minute drive. 
Head out of Ackworth and you can take a morning stroll across to Purston Park which boasts a large children’s playground, skate park and a beautiful lake, well-manicured gardens and pathways to enjoy a peaceful walk. Just slightly further afield is the stunning Nostell Priory National Trust estate which offers acres to explore and is host to a number of seasonal events.

The Gate House, Great North Road, Wentbridge

**THE GATE HOUSE**

Dating back to the early 1600s, this four-bedroom character property in the heart of Wentbridge has undergone extensive and sympathetic renovation works resulting in an enviable village home.

These rustic stone walls have been integral to the villagers over the centuries – once a place for the local midwives to work from and forming part of an old coaching inn. The exposed brickwork and original features that remain are steeped in history which add to the charm of this unique cottage.

Inside the home which is spread across three floors you’ll find spacious, stylish living areas with log burner stoves and large practical bedrooms. Outside, you’ll enjoy privacy and peacefulness with the added bonus of country walks and a footpath to Brockadale Nature Reserve right on your doorstep. You have to step inside to fully appreciate this period dream home.

AN INTRIGUING WELCOME

Nestled down a secluded footpath off the main road, you’ll enter the property via the rear garden which feels every inch the country cottage dream. 
An intriguing welcome awaits through an arched glass door, proudly featuring the namesake, within the gable end stone porch. 

The porch is currently used as a handy boot room and you’ll immediately be able to appreciate all the quirky farmhouse details from the terracotta floor tiles to the stone lintels, before you pass through the arched main entrance door. 

FABULOUS FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Arriving straight into the heart of the home, you’ll be greeted by a spacious open-plan living space that boasts a stone floor throughout with the added luxury of underfloor heating. 
The kitchen combines traditional charm with everything you’d desire for modern family living. Timeless cream and oak bespoke wooden units house quality integrated appliances with a wooden top butcher’s block taking centre stage. 
The sink in the corner is positioned in front of a sash window, which is one of three throughout the room offering plenty of natural light in every season. 

As you move round towards the dining table, your eyes will be drawn to the Yorkshire stone and brick fireplace surrounding a multi-fuel log burner which creates the perfect cosy ambience to dine and later relax in the sitting area. Overhead, the original oak beams soften the contrast of the ceiling spotlights which are often dimmed in the evening to appreciate the roar of the fire. Tucked away in the corner, you’ll also notice a split stable door offering side access to the garden. 

PLENTY OF PRACTICALITY

The ground floor reception rooms are divided by the hallway and central utility room which is a practical pantry storage space and home to the laundry appliances. Here you’ll also find a downstairs W/C with the stone floor continuing through for design cohesiveness. 

ARCHITECTURAL APPEAL

The beautiful lounge is a celebration of the home’s unique history and architectural appeal – featuring a full wall of exposed stone and a rustic beam dividing the ceiling. Despite being a large space with room for the whole family to gather, it is bursting with character and a feeling of cosy comforting calm. 
The symmetry of the double sash windows sitting opposite a second log burner adds to the charm and elegance of this immaculately designed room, finished with vintage oak floorboards underfoot. 

CAREFULLY CONSIDERED DESIGN

As you ascend to the first floor, the room directly above and following the footprint of the lounge is bedroom two. 
This chic and tranquil space features built-in, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe storage and a fully tiled en-suite complete with a new luxury waterfall shower. 

Bedroom four is the next room along at the top of the stairs – a small yet perfectly formed single which would make an ideal nursery or children’s bedroom. Here you’ll also find built-in storage in the form of original recessed cupboards and a tall sash window. 

Carefully considered design details have been curated throughout the upstairs with even the smallest room featuring farmhouse style wooden doors with traditional stable hinges to ensure they are in keeping with the heritage of the home. 

HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Bedroom three is a sizable double with an impressively high ceiling that continues into the apex of the roof featuring a skylight and original structural beams. 

Dual-aspect windows flood the space with light and the current owners have added shaker-style wardrobe doors along the whole of one wall for the all-important coveted wardrobe space.

AN ELEGANT RENOVATION

The family bathroom which sits conveniently in between bedrooms three and four is unsurprisingly an elegantly renovated space. 
Fully tiled from floor to ceiling in neutral marble tones, the four-piece suite offers a choice between soaking in the built-in bathtub or jumping under the large rainfall shower. 
Finished with a chrome heated towel rail and wall-lit mirror, traditional touches of course appear in the form of an upcycled vanity unit topped with a counter-top wash basin. 

A SHOW-STOPPING STUDY

You’ll have caught a peek from below of the exposed brickwork through the glass balustrade – which is the remains of what once was an old pigeon coop – now a unique interior feature complete with the original tiny window.
Make your way up the spiral staircase to find a stylish study at the top – perfect for remote working, being situated away from the main hub of the home. 

THE MASTER UP TOP

The showstopper of the upper floor is yet to come in the form of a self-contained independent space that is versatile for either a master suite or a teenager’s hub. This floor is a private yet vast space, occupying the remaining footprint of the second floor. 

The master bedroom, taking on an interesting dormer shape and using the angles of the roof to a design advantage, boasts soft carpet underfoot and timeless shaker-style fitted wardrobes built into the eaves. 
A large shower room sits next door which features a three-piece white suite and a simplistic charm with monochrome tiles from floor to ceiling. 

PEACEFUL OUTDOOR SPACES

The outdoor space is private, peaceful and bursting with nature. From the detached single garage on arrival, you’ll enter through the wooden gate within the fenced and stone wall boundary. 
A central lawn is split by a stepping stone path and surrounded by textured shrubs, varied trees and an abundant apple tree that produces fruit year after year. Closer to the property, an ample patio provides a useful seating and BBQ area for gathering friends and family.

AREA TO EXPLORE

This delightful property comes with the bonus of a sought-after village location too. Located in West Yorkshire and on the border of North Yorkshire, this spot will be a pleasure to call home – offering a charming weekend escape for family and friends to come and visit.

Situated close to the A1 and just a short drive to Pontefract and Doncaster railway stations station, offering direct trains into London, it’s also ideal for commuting with business or weekend getaways of your own. 
From your doorstep, you can explore the Brockadale Nature Reserve, perfect for daily walks and wildlife spotting. Families will appreciate the range of schools in the area, including the prestigious Ackworth private school, less than a 10-minute drive away. 
Within walking distance you can also enjoy The Bluebell Inn with its fantastic pizzeria or indulge in exquisite cuisine at Wentbridge House Hotel.

Badsworth Hall and Hall Farm Cottage, Main Street, Badsworth

**BADSWORTH HALL AND HALL FARM COTTAGE**

Badsworth’s finest
Nestled comfortably in a prime location, at the heart of the sought-after village of its namesake, is the magnificent Badsworth Hall.
This picture-perfect Grade II listed stone manor house dates back to pre-1800s and has undergone a significant modern transformation inside, while retaining its exterior curb appeal and period hallmarks that make it truly unique.  
Now an immaculately presented four-bedroom family home complete with multiple reception rooms and entertainment spaces, plus a detached two-bedroom cottage in the grounds. Expect a high specification throughout with no expense spared on design or finishes, for the ultimate example of luxury living. 

A stately welcome
You’ll struggle to find a grander entrance than the sweeping paved drive leading up to the arched doorway of this beautiful home. 
Passing by the treble garage that was added in the mid-2000s, you’ll have already noticed some of the historical bearings that have remained throughout the centuries – including the carved gateposts and the original solid oak door that welcomes you into the charming entrance hall. 
Weathered Yorkshire stone flooring, exposed brickwork and structural pillars tell a story of a house that has hosted many family memories, and the gallery landing allows you to appreciate the light and character of the arched window again from the inside. 
The decorative column radiators and stone floor continue through to the spacious W/C, which features a blend of traditional and modern touches – setting the tone for the rest of the interiors ahead. 

Packed with personality
The lounge and snug are two enviable reception rooms that sit either side of the hallway – each with their own functions but similar in personality – featuring tall ceilings, rustic wooden floors, stunning fireplaces and dual-aspect large sash windows to maximise on light. 
The lounge is the more spacious of the two and takes the role of the formal entertainment space thanks to its double chandeliers and ornate coving, finished with beautiful panelled walls adding to the stately home feel. 
The snug is a cosy place to relax in front of the TV, especially in winter when the log burner is simmering. 

A contemporary masterpiece
Continue through the snug and you’ll reach the kitchen which occupies the east wing of the property. This superb space has undergone an extensive renovation to transform the farmhouse heart of the home into a jaw-dropping contemporary masterpiece, leaving no detail untouched. 
Chic matte charcoal handleless units are topped with deep marble worktops featuring a built-in sink with Quooker tap on the island and an impressive full width teppanyaki grill surrounding the hob behind you. Be prepared for a cooking masterclass while you pull up a stool.
Punctuated with dual-aspect windows, you’ll find further full-length wall units housing hi-spec appliances from Miele and Gaggenau, contrasted with intricate parquet oak flooring to retain a glimpse of the home’s period charm. 
Following the L-shaped footprint, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room flooded with natural light from the pitched skylight overhead and full width bi-fold doors that open out onto a raised patio. Concealed beyond this is the utility area housing the laundry appliances, conveniently tucked away from the main hub. 
As you turn back to head out through the dining room - don’t forget to look down to discover the glass covered wine cellar that has been crafted below floor level into the basement in the style of a spiral staircase. This completely, unique showstopper holds hundreds of bottles of wine at ambient temperature. Once the lid is lifted, you can officially let the dinner parties commence.

A remarkable renovation
Over in the west wing is a two-storey renovation which has transformed what was once the garage space. 
On the ground floor with oak parquet floor running through is an award-winning office as judged by interior designers which leads through to a state-of-the-art gym which doubles up as a garden room with French doors that open onto the lawn. 
Ascend to the first floor via the open staircase in the office where you’ll find a stunning guest bedroom with en-suite. 
This delightful double room oozes cosy countryside charm with its exposed stone wall and beams overhead. Built-in window seat storage offers the perfect place to perch with a book and a minimalistic tiled walk-in shower room ensures you start the day right. 

A spacious retreat
The bright and vast master bedroom along with the bathroom next door occupies almost half of the first-floor footprint, offering a spacious retreat boasting ample natural light and high ceilings. 
Deep oak windowsills and corner beam details punctuate the neutral decor, along with an internal door concealing a large walk-in wardrobe fitted with wooden shelving.

Classy bathroom curation
Beyond the next arched doorway along the hallway lies the family bathroom which acts as an en-suite for the master. 
Completely unique in design, the level of detail is unrivalled from the hand-picked Lake District slate floor to the quirky yet traditional ‘Thomas Crapper’ toilet. 
High gloss marble wall tiles surround the room, contrasting against the brushed steel wash basin and focal freestanding bathtub, which will be the highlight of your evening when you come to relax. 

Ample doubles for the children
Bedrooms two and three sit side by side above the lounge – both generous doubles, each with their own modern en-suite shower rooms for ultimate comfort and privacy. 
Bursting with character and personality, you’ll find decorative radiators as standard, two windows and ceiling beams yet modern practicalities have also been considered with storage and workspace options installed in both rooms. 

Grand grounds
The property sits on approximately a third of an acre in total with a true manor house garden to admire at the rear. Designed to be split into two zones, the entertainment patio leading off the kitchen hosts a large seating area for al fresco dining with a sunken fire pit below for when dusk arrives. 
An immaculate lawn maintained by a full irrigation system offers a peaceful and private haven for the children to play, surrounded by mature trees that have conservation protection.
Despite the scope of outdoor space on offer, there’s a quaint farmhouse feel at every turn thanks to details such as the original stone wall boundaries, wooden gates leading to the orchard and carefully curated abundant flower beds at the front and rear. 

Complete with countryside cottage
The most recent undertaking of work has been poured into the renovation of the cottage - the final area of the property which forms a stunning two-bedroom annexe that has been completely transformed down to the electrics and plumbing, as well as the aesthetics. 
Accessed from the patio via the Crittal-style doorway, this chic and modern industrial style continues throughout mixed with the characterful elements of the original stone build. 
The floorplan has been cleverly flipped to maximise on space, featuring two double bedrooms downstairs, alongside a small but perfectly formed hi-spec kitchen and lounge area which opens onto the personal patio. 
The ground floor bathroom is a highlight, comprising three-piece black suite and clean lines throughout including a large metro tiled rainfall shower. 
A statement black spiral staircase leads you to the first floor which is designed within the apex of the roof to maximise on space. Here you’ll find a versatile luxury office which could be reconfigured as a further reception room. 
Next up is a state-of-the-art cinema room – the cherry on top of an impressive family home that has entertainment at its heart. With plump reclining sofas, mood lightning and fluffy carpet underfoot, all that’s left to do is serve the popcorn and relax.

Area to Explore

The Croft, Back Lane, Badsworth

**THE CROFT**

A CHARACTERFUL COTTAGE TO CALL HOME
Sitting pretty at the heart of Badsworth, The Croft is a unique and homely property where you’d love to settle.
Tucked back from the lane within a large private plot spanning approximately two thirds of an acre, this is a characterful beauty which must not be missed. Formerly part of the Badsworth Estate, this 200-year-old cottage was once home to the village milkman but as it stands today is a modernised family abode with many original features remaining firmly part of its charm.
From the stone exterior to the rustic exposed beams, homeowners seeking a traditional farmhouse aesthetic will not be disappointed with this quaint detached property and its surrounding exterior space. Featuring three large double bedrooms, a detached garage and ample off-street parking, step inside to appreciate this unique renovation for yourself. 

STYLISH FIRST IMPRESSIONS
After catching a glimpse of the stunning gardens, you’ll enter the property at the front via the boot room which is nestled away on the corner of the patio. This beautiful entrance hall was transformed just 18 months ago with the removal of two interior doors, to maximise on space and practicality as well packing a punch for first impressions. 
Stylish shaker style cupboards incorporate a window seat and provide much needed storage for coats and shoes. Before you continue exploring the rest of the home, to the left you’ll find a metro tiled ground floor shower room with a sink and W/C which has been finished to a high spec.

GENEROUS LIVING SPACE
The multi-functional lounge and dining room are combined with a structural pillar and stone steps to separate the zones. Characterised by the statement beams running across the entirety of the ceiling and non-uniform rustic walls, this room is the epitome of imperfect perfection. 
In every direction you’ll spot unique features that maximise every nook and cranny – from the understairs cupboard door to the shelving in the alcoves. 
A contrast between high and low ceiling ensures that the lounge area stays cosy, especially when the multi-fuel stove is burning in the winter which also runs the central heating. The dual-aspect dining room is lighter and brighter – with a view of the garden which is accessed via French doors leading out onto the patio. 

A COMFY CORNER
Before you enter the kitchen, you’ll discover a second sitting room, fondly known as the snug. Featuring the same cosy aesthetic as the lounge with the signature beams continuing through here, the design elements are also cohesive including the traditional column radiators and a second log burner set within the fireplace. This comfy corner of the home is ideal for use as an adult space to curl up with a book or a night cap, away from the main social hub. 

A MODERNISED FARMHOUSE KITCHEN
The breakfast kitchen which forms the east wing of the property has been renovated sympathetically and fitted with handmade wood cabinetry of a bespoke design due to the requirements and age of the building. Finished with a practical oak flooring, it offers a harmonious blend of modern comforts and traditional farmhouse living. Each window offers a different view of the garden and timeless cream shaker style units wrap around the perimeter, ending with a built-in corner exposed oak dining area. This is a perfect place to perch with your morning coffee.
A classic Rayburn stove which takes care of the central heating is among the highlights, accompanied by Neff built-in appliances including a gas hob, double oven and wine fridge which comes in handy for sociable evenings. Access to the garden is via the stable door featuring the original lock as a nod to The Croft’s heritage. 

BOASTING THE BEST VIEWS
Completing the ground floor is the orangery – a recent addition to the floorplan offering another space to relax and retreat. The striking sage green and glass structure which incorporates the charm of the original stone walls, has the best view of the garden and offers a tranquil spot to unwind and feel closer to nature.

MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE MASTER
Heading up the stairs, farmhouse doors will lead you to three large bedrooms, with the Master being the first door on the left.
Fitted wardrobes and a variety of drawers were added just 18 months ago to provide ample storage space and a tiled en-suite W/C complete with a counter-top wash basin can be found tucked away neatly in the corner of the room. 

MORE PICTURESQUE VIEWS
The second bedroom is a generous double equal in size to the master, with picturesque views of the rear garden. Also featuring the original ceiling beams following the apex of the roof, contrasted with modern fitted wardrobes for practicality. Soft neutral carpet underfoot comes as standard across the sleeping quarters.  Above the kitchen you’ll find a third double bedroom with an asymmetrical sloped roof. From here you can lay your head on the pillow and see the church overlooking the village and the rolling fields beyond. 

IMMACULATELY TRANSFORMED
The family bathroom has undergone a recent transformation and here you’ll now find a luxury sleek four-piece white suite.
Boasting a large curved-edge bath, separate shower enclosure with rainfall showerhead, heated towel rail, W/C and wall mounted-wash basin, the whole space is immaculately presented. Finished with the home’s signature beams peeking through the walls and a matching interior farmhouse door painted white to keep the room bright and airy.

PRIVATE AND PRISTINE
Sitting on a very generous plot, the garden surrounds the property for a picturesque view from every angle. 
The boundaries are lined with mature evergreen hedging, shrubs and trees including silver birch trees for privacy, and despite being situated in the heart of Badsworth, it’s rare that you’d spot anybody from the confines of your home. 
There is a gate at the bottom of the garden that leads you into the centre of the village if you are heading out to meet friends. 
The whole of the exterior is pristine and there’s something for everyone – vast lawns for the children to play, plenty of flower beds and potential for vegetable patches for the green-fingered and a wrap-around patio with seating areas for entertaining. Parking will also never be an issue, thanks to the large drive and detached double garage workshop. 

AREA TO EXPLORE
The picturesque and highly sought-after village of Badsworth is nestled within Yorkshire’s iconic countryside, offering breathtaking panoramic views, scenic walking trails, and a vibrant community spirit. Steeped in history, the village is home to the 14th-century St Mary’s Church, famously mentioned in the Domesday Book. As part of a designated conservation area, Badsworth also boasts a highly regarded primary school at its heart.
Just a short distance away lies the bustling village of Ackworth, which provides the conveniences of a small town. Amenities include a public library, doctor’s surgery, chemist, supermarket, convenience stores, multiple pubs serving restaurant-quality food, and a charming tearoom located above the gift shop. This home’s location appeals to those who cherish the tranquility of rural countryside living while still being within easy reach of major towns and cities. Pontefract, Wakefield, Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield, and York are all accessible in under an hour via the A1 and M62 road networks.

Parkside, Old Village Street, Burghwallis

**PARKSIDE**

There’s much to admire about Parkside and its arguable claim to being one of the best-kept secrets in the sought-after village of Burghwallis.
Dating back as far as the 1500s, history comes as standard and this is blended with luxuriously renovated interiors in keeping with its traditional farmhouse charm.

Tucked away at the bottom of Old Village Street in rural surroundings, peace and privacy come in abundance as well as field views as far as the eye can see. This unique, four-bedroom detached barn conversion looks every inch the country cottage dream based on first impressions complete with dormer windows and traditional shutters. 

Split across three floors in individual sections, the once separate barns have been connected and the property has evolved over the centuries while retaining its period features to this day.

On arrival, you’ll park up on the block paved courtyard with space for multiple vehicles and immediately notice some of the quaint features that make this home special. 

Decorative first impressions

The huge entrance hall certainly makes for a statement welcome with its high ceilings made to feel even taller by the central skylight feature which floods the room with natural light. 
Low maintenance decorative tiled flooring paired with the grey barn door and a view out to the log store oozes farmhouse elegance from the moment you arrive. A convenient W/C is also tucked away in the corner, central to both main reception rooms. 

A tale to tell

You’ll appreciate the country cottage charm continues through to the breathtaking lounge. Not only is this room packed with character from the interesting roof trusses and exposed stone wall, but these four walls have a tale to tell too. 

The original Paddington Bear was invented just next door and here lies the workshop where the teddies were made shortly after it was repurposed from an old cow barn. Today it is an integral part of this wonderful family home as it stands today. 
As the sun rises on one side and sets on the other, cosy winter evenings are elevated by the cast iron multi-fuel log burner and there’s plenty of space for the whole family to gather. 

A stylish home office

The home office – formerly an architect’s studio – sits at the end of the hallway to maximise peace and quiet. 
High quality bespoke bookcase shelving complete with low-level lighting is built in around the perimeter creating a uniform and sophisticated storage solution. An oak-topped desk positioned under the stair’s alcove keeps important business organised. Complete with a rear exterior door, this space would be ideal for business meetings that involve external visitors. 

Hotel-style hideaway

Head back out to find a handy storage room and take the modern pine staircase up to the second floor. 
Above the office you’ll find a self-contained guest suite occupying this part of the property that dates back to the 1500s – which is now a stunning hotel-style hideaway.

Hints of its heritage still remain in the rustic oak beams overhead, but the double bedroom and large bathroom have been renovated to combine modern luxury with traditional touches including a freestanding roll-top bath and reclaimed floorboards. 
This space has recently had an upgraded heating system and gas boiler fitted for additional home comforts, but stealing the show is the impeccable carpentry in the en-suite complete with a fitted window seat for enjoying the views. 

Making the most of the views

Across the other side of the property down a few steps from the entrance hall is the family room. This is a versatile reception space for all seasons. 
Patio doors open out onto a wide-decked balcony with glass balustrades offering panoramic views of the garden and countryside beyond. 
This dual-aspect room is finished with rustic wooden flooring and a roaring fire to curl up in front of a film as the darker nights draw in. 

A fitting farmhouse master

The delightful master bedroom on this level is bursting with farmhouse appeal from the perfectly weathered floorboards that continue from the family room, exposed brick peeking through and the distinctive wooden beams that add a cosy feel to the lower ceilings. 

A dedicated dressing room fitted with pine wardrobes provides ample storage space and the stunningly renovated shower room next door has retained the characterful details alongside a sleek rainfall shower and grey vanity units housing the sink and traditional W/C.

Maximising roof space

Positioned directly above the master is a whimsical space which occupies the peak of the roof with the exposed beams taking centre stage. 
Here you will find bedroom three featuring the original chimney breast as you enter the gallery landing, with a free-standing roll top bath fitted here to maximise this multi-functional room. 
The bedroom area is a generous double size – currently set up with twin beds – leaving plenty of square footage for toys and free-standing furniture.

Entertain in style

As we head back downstairs to the lower ground floor, it’s hard to believe we’ve explored so much of the property on offer before we come to the heart of the home in the form of the dining kitchen.

Designed with practicality and entertainment in mind, this open-plan space enjoys a picture-perfect outlook to the garden and spills out onto the decking when the bi-fold doors are flung open. 
With a range of oak base units behind, the central island sees most of the action – housing both the sink and an impressive Stoves range oven with electric hob, meaning the chef can still enjoy the views. A slate tiled floor continues seamlessly to the dining room which comfortably holds space for a large table beneath the oak beams and boasts a multi-fuel log burner to ramp up the cosy vibes. 

At the opposite side of the kitchen, you’ll find a separate utility room with space for a large fridge and laundry appliances plus an additional W/C which means there is a toilet on every floor. 
Completing the accommodation is bedroom four which has a dedicated walk-in wardrobe and equal amounts of character and wow factor. Finished with a cast-iron stove set within the original fireplace upon a Yorkshire stone hearth, exposed stone walls and signature ceiling beams, this space would also make a lovely snug or playroom depending on your family dynamics. 

Last but not least

Having already admired the garden from inside, you will definitely want to head outside and fully appreciate the amount of space on offer with the plot spanning approximately third of an acre. 
The garden itself is lined with mature trees for privacy and comes with enviable rural views. This outlook makes you feel as though the boundaries are endless with nobody else around. The current owners have enjoyed many summers with the children playing freely across the lawns. 
You’ll have spotted the patio decking from the kitchen, with space for a pizza oven in this area – a great al fresco dining alternative to the traditional BBQ when guests are over. 

Area to explore

Home to fewer than 300 residents, the village of Burghwallis is steeped in history dating back to British Saxon times including the Grade II listed St Helen’s chapel which is believed to have been built during the days of the Domesday Book.
Unlike a lot of villages nearby, Burghwallis has retained its peaceful small-scale rural feel and yet positioned less than a mile from the A1 so is perfectly located for links to larger towns and cities across Yorkshire.
Within the village itself, The Burghwallis public house has earned a glowing reputation serving great atmosphere and food. Further afield, you are less than three miles from Adwick railway station and so can reach the cities of Doncaster, Leeds and Sheffield on a direct train journey.
In nearby Campsall, you can visit Doncaster Country Park; a dream for those who love to pull on their walking boots and embrace the great outdoors. You can occupy yourself for hours here; take the dog for a walk or enjoy some fresh air with the children surrounded by lakes, woodlands, clay ponds and wildlife.

LOUNGE AWAY

STEP OUT TO THE BALCONY 
Floored in oak and sheltered by the roof overhand, this balcony is useable in all-weathers while facing south means that you can enjoy the sun most of the day.

The White House, York Road, Green Hammerton

**THE WHITE HOUSE**

A MARRIAGE OF CONTEMPORARY AND CHARACTER

Not only is The White House an exceptional detached family home but a prominent landmark of the picturesque village of Green Hammerton.
Dating back to the early 1800s, this stunning and characterful property is perfect blend of traditional Victorian architecture married with contemporary luxury interiors – and also comes with a postcode almost equidistant between the desirable cities of York and Harrogate meaning the best of Yorkshire is close by.
Inside this vast family home, you’ll find multiple high-spec spaces and spacious double bedrooms, all renovated within a decade with character and charm oozing from the tall ceilings and sash windows.

IMMACULATE FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The double-fronted quaint exterior of this beautiful house is immaculate featuring a picture-perfect regal front door as the focal point beyond an ornate boundary fence and stone setts pathway running through the manicured front lawn.
Drive down the left side of the property which leads to the private rear courtyard crafted from Indian stone. Here you’ll discover a double garage plus a number of outbuildings which hold future potential for further renovation.

LEAVING LITTLE TO BE DESIRED

Upon viewing this property, we advise that you first must surely pay a visit to the delightful contemporary kitchen that leaves little to be desired.
The main space boasts clean lines and a cool grey colour palette complete with underfloor heating and quartz worktops upon a range of high-quality wall and base units.
Integrated appliances include wall-mounted Neff ovens with warming drawers and a microwave, two dishwashers and a high-spec induction hob on the central island which doubles as a breakfast bar with seating for four. 
Concealed behind the cupboard doors you’ll find a mixture of storage configurations as well as a handy home bar complete with small sink and filtered tap to lay on cocktails for your guests when you’re hosting. 

The luxury and practicalities don’t end here as an internal door leads through to a farmhouse-style utility room, bursting with character thanks to the deep oak units and copper Belfast sink. Here you’ll find side access to the courtyard where the current owners most frequently enter from. 
Continue further to discover a separate larder for even more storage, which also holds the original cold slabs as a design feature, shaker-style units and tiled flooring for easy maintenance. 
You’ll have spotted one of two staircases going up from the kitchen but first let’s finish exploring the ground floor.

RUSTIC CHARM

Head across the hallway to find the ground floor reception rooms, not forgetting the shower room and stairs leading down to the cellar which has taken shape as a perfect wine store. 
Stunning solid oak flooring adds a rustic charm to the lounge with an impressive cast-iron fireplace taking centre stage. 
The dual-aspect space benefits from high ceilings and plenty of natural light pouring through the large sash window and French doors that lead out to the rear courtyard. The patio and doors were a recent addition after careful consideration and renovated sympathetically in keeping with the guidelines of the local conservation area. This multifunctional space adds a new dynamic for outdoor living in summer complete with a central fire pit for cosy vibes as the nights draw in. 

ELEGANT DINING AREA

The equally spacious dining room next door is positioned at the front of the property and benefits from the beautiful sash bay window you’ll have admired from the street.
This elegant space is oozing with character from the decorative coving, multi-fuel log burner and panelled windows furnished with luxury shutters.
The size and layout make this a perfect entertaining room, especially when you cast your imagination to Christmas and family festivities.

A SPACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN

Completing the living areas on the ground floor is a versatile room currently set up as a spacious double bedroom, but likely to have been a drawing room or snug in a former life.
Featuring a log burner – plus a large sash window and concealed beams overhead – this space would make a beautiful library or playroom if a ground floor bedroom was not required for accessibility. The possibilities really are endless. 

A COUPLES RETREAT

As you ascend to the first floor, it’s worth noting that although the hallway is carpeted for comfort, the original Victorian floor tiles are intact underneath for those who want to showcase the home’s period features.
There’s plenty of choice for bedrooms on the first floor but the stylish master suite sits above the lounge and benefits from a beautiful hanging bay window and a cosy log burner feature for the ultimate duvet day. 
A large and modern en-suite is built into the corner of the room. This is fully tiled and comes with a heated towel rail, ‘Jack & Jill’ wash basins and a unique dual walk-in shower. 
High ceilings are prominent across the first floor, finished with attractive coving as standard.  

RIVALLING THE MASTER

The adjacent bedroom positioned above the dining room is a spacious, dual-aspect double to rival the master featuring a second bay window with views over the village and beyond to the North York Moors. 
Although there is ample space for freestanding furniture, the fitted corner wardrobes offer plenty of storage, while the cast-iron fireplace and engineered wood flooring add interest and character. 

A STYLISH SPOT TO SOAK

The main family bathroom is located across the hallway and comprises a large bathtub with overhead shower and curved screen, wash basin sat upon a marble topped vanity unit, W/C and tall heated towel rail.

ON THE BRIGHTSIDE

Opposite the bathroom you’ll find bedroom three. This is a further double room that has a bright disposition thanks to its two sash windows.
Dressed with tasteful modern interiors including a light wooden floor and grey accents around the chimney breast, this space is ready to move straight in like the rest of the house.

HOME FROM HOME

As you walk along the corridor, which was formerly the servants quarters, to find the fourth bedroom at the rear of the property, you’ll discover a potential annex layout which can also be accessed via a separate entrance from the courtyard below.
The sleeping quarters project a luxury country hotel vibe from the farmhouse style internal door to the beams overhead in the apex of the roof completed with Velux windows. 

You’ll also find an unconverted storeroom on the first floor which adds renovation potential to add an office or perhaps a further living space. 

A traditional bathroom with panelled built-in tub sits next door to a statement concrete-effect laundry room which features slick black accents and tons of storage space for even the largest of wash baskets. 

AREA TO EXPLORE

THE HEART OF THE HOME

The magnificent open-plan family dining kitchen spans the rear of the property. It has a roof lantern that pours light into the space and two sets of sliding doors leading directly to the patio area. The heated floor is covered in Amtico in an intricate herringbone pattern, always ensuring the perfect ambient temperature. There are various lighting options, from inset spotlights to concealed ambient lighting and brighter task lighting in busier areas.
Discover the heart of the home in the magnificent kitchen. The Kutchenhaus units in Fyord blue, topped with quartz worktops, create a stylish and functional space.

GLORIOUS GARDENS

The south-facing gardens at the rear of the property are terraced, with a patio area nearest to the kitchen doors, perfect for al-fresco dining. The sheltered nature of this part of the garden would lend itself to the perfect spot for a hot tub. The raised flower beds are ready for your personal touch, ready to plant vibrant flowers that can bloom and add a lovely pop of colour. The top of the garden is a blank canvas, ideal for a BBQ area or maybe even an outdoor kitchen.

Chestnut House, Carleton Road, Pontefract

**CHESTNUT HOUSE**
**MOTIVATED SELLER**

A HOME FULL OF HERITAGE
Centuries old chestnut trees standing tall in the garden of this magnificent Victorian home were the obvious inspiration for their namesake, Chestnut House.
Dating back to 1853, this four-bedroom, three-storey family home has undergone a stylish transformation while still pouring with original features synonymous with a period property.
The traditional red brick house, which lists the mayor of Pontefract as a former resident, boasts a charming exterior punctuated with classic windows and intricate architectural details surrounded by a private garden.
Inside you’ll find spacious reception rooms, high ceilings and a total of seven fireplaces among the characterful interiors.

ELEVATED ENTRANCE

Pull onto the gravelled driveway where you’ll immediately be immersed in the idyllic front garden which has been a labour of love over the past six years since the current owners arrived – now bursting with vibrant textures and lush greenery. 

The property’s elaborate entrance door – elevated above a set of stone steps – leads into a porch followed by the stunning hallway featuring a typical curved staircase for a first glimpse of the high ceilings and oak internal doors that feature throughout. 
Original mosaic floor tiles guide you through to a beautiful bright lounge. 

WHIMSICAL WINDOWS
A full-length bay window decorated with custom-made window boxes is the main attraction in this spacious family room which comes into its own during the festive season when hosting a 14-foot Christmas tree for ultimate festive vibes. 
Luxury new carpets and the gas fire keeps the space warm and inviting while there’s plenty of charming features to admire including the deep picture rails and decorative coving. 

IN KEEPING WITH TRADITION
Across the hallway at the rear of the house you’ll find the kitchen with the addition of a downstairs W/C in between for guest convenience. Although this was recently designed, you’d be forgiven for believing it was original with its terracotta floor tiles and high-level cistern. 
The kitchen has a rear access stable door and views overlooking the courtyard garden. 
Decorated in a fresh green and with simple traditional styling including painted wooden units and a deep fireplace now housing the range oven, there’s potential here to combine the space with the dining room next door to create a modern open-plan living configuration. 

DECADENT DINING
You might have already spotted the antique serving hatch that opens up into the formal dining room – a simply stunning reception space that has hosted countless parties and family occasions throughout the decades. 
With a second bay window boasting views of the front garden, there is ample natural light to counteract the charming rustic floorboards. A roaring cast-iron fire sat upon a slate hearth creates a welcoming ambience for when the dark nights draw in. Equally with minimal disruption this space could be remodelled to create a large open-plan family kitchen-dining room, whilst retaining the period features.

SWEEPING STAIRCASE
Before you head to the first floor, it's worth noting the deep storage cupboards under the stairs which are perfect for hiding the shoes and coats after a busy day. 
As you climb the grand staircase at the heart of the home, you’ll pass the breathtaking arched window that was bound to have caught your eye from the exterior. Before you reach the top to find a quirky seating area on the landing, you’ll also notice a door to the office perfect for home working, although could be utilised as a small fifth bedroom if required. 

INTERIOR HEAVEN

The first bedroom ahead is the master – sitting above the lounge and following the same footprint with a decorative cast iron fireplace taking centre stage. 

This spacious retreat benefits from double sash windows and a luxury shower room just outside the door that features traditional style furniture and bold metro tiles in the shower enclosure. 
A sympathetic period colour palette curated by Farrow & Ball flows coherently throughout the bedrooms with the master suite making no exception – wrapped in a calming green shade and punctuated with William Morris wallpaper. 

CHARM IN THE DETAIL
Bedroom two is another large double almost equal in size and positioned above the dining room with the same garden views through the full-length windows. Charming details are present at every turn from the decorative coving and cast-iron fireplace which in fact is a feature of every bedroom. 

PERIOD CHARACTER

A beautiful family bathroom epitomising Victorian charm is one of the highlights of the home. 
Weathered oak flooring sits below a traditional roll-top bath that is framed by panelled walls, a sash window and wooden shutters. A white suite comprising an ornate wash basin with brass taps, column radiator and high-level cistern W/C finish the room to perfection. 

ON ANOTHER LEVEL

Two further double bedrooms with no compromise on style can be found on the top floor when you climb the second flight of stairs. 
Each of them features practical built-in storage cupboards in the alcoves and this separate zone away from the main bedrooms creates a sense of privacy and peace for guests or children.  

DINE AL-FRESCO

Despite the inviting and charming interiors, this is without doubt also a home for outdoor living. 
The current owners have invested heavily in the garden that surrounds the house with immaculate private lawns and a tree lined boundary. 
The final living space comes in the form of a brick-built outdoor kitchen featuring a rotisserie and pizza oven to elevate family BBQs. 
Come sundown, light the fire pit and gather under the festoon lights for a truly memorable evening. 

AREA TO EXPLORE
Located on the fringe of Pontefract’s market town and surrounded by other Victorian properties, this is a stunning spot and one of the most sought after locally. You’re a short walk away from the town centre which you’ll want to take advantage of over the weekend. Pontefract town centre has undergone something of a regeneration bouncing back with new bars, cafes and independent shops opening up for business.
You also have two secondary schools and a wide choice of primaries for the little ones. A move here will give you excellent educational and recreational options as well as ensuring a well-placed location nearby the UK’s motorway network. The A1 and M62 each are within a couple of miles for easy access to Leeds, Manchester, York, Hull and further afield to the north, south, east and west.

Carleton Road, Pontefract

**151 CARLETON ROAD**

A Victorian gem
The architectural elegance and grandeur of this unique property on Carleton Road in Pontefract must be viewed to appreciate the stylish renovation that makes it as appealing on the inside as it is from the outside.
This imposing semi-detached home boasts four bedrooms and dates back to 1854 with typical Victorian features throughout as well as characterful windows and original fireplaces and floors.
High ceilings and spacious reception rooms come as standard across the four floors, which include a basement cellar and a top floor guest suite to accommodate large families. Before you step foot inside, you’ll enjoy ample off-street parking beyond your own gated entrance and a low maintenance landscaped garden at the rear. 
Come on in to appreciate the period charm and attention to detail that has been poured into curating this beautiful home. 

Stunning from the start
A stunning entrance and sweeping staircase greet you beyond the front door with immediately captivating high ceilings, original Victorian floor tiles and access downstairs to explore the spacious cellar split into two storage rooms. 
Positioned at the front of the property and occupying the turreted bay window is the spacious formal lounge which exudes understated elegance through a neutral colour palette. Mirroring the period charm of the home, you’ll find rustic oak floorboards, picture rail detailing, luxury window shutters and the central fireplace formation that gives the home a sense of cohesion. With a generous footprint and an abundance of natural light, this beautiful room is the perfect place to relax or host. 

In keeping with tradition
Across the hallway is the wonderful family/dining room – one of two traditional reception rooms that feature log burning stoves as the centre point. 
This is a well-proportioned room which would have historically been used as a formal dining area and has space for both a table and soft seating. The current owners have treated this as their main social space as it flows seamlessly through to the kitchen after the removal of the double doors that once separated the rooms.
With the original rustic floorboards and a tall bay window with added shutters for privacy, this is every inch the blueprint of a modernised Victorian home.
A door tucked in the corner leads you through to the reading room. This bright and stylish space – snug but perfectly formed – offers a quiet spot to perch with a view of the outdoors and access to the garden via French doors. Recently renovated to incorporate a new roof and picture windows, the floor is also conveniently tiled for you to use as an additional entrance point.

A contemporary twist in the kitchen
The kitchen is another bold and elegant space that maximises on the ceiling height and natural light from the tall sash windows. A harmonious synergy between contemporary and traditional, you’ll find a Smeg range oven against a stainless-steel splashback, paired with traditional details like the column radiators. 
Classic grey shaker-style wall and base units are topped with a luxury Quartz worktop that also spans across the central breakfast bar where you’ll likely spend many mornings reading the paper or catching up with the family. 
Additional storage space can be found in the utility room which houses the laundry appliances and has taken on more of a boot room role as the place to leave your coats and shoes. A handy W/C is also located here, along with a further exterior access door. 

Wonderful sleeping quarters 
Heading to the first floor, the master bedroom is positioned directly above the lounge and enjoys the same spacious, well-proportioned layout with an original fireplace featured within the chimney breast. 
With ample space for freestanding furniture in the alcoves and tall ceilings as standard throughout the first floor, a king-sized bed would be comfortable in here. 
Bedroom two across the hallway has a similar story to tell. Equal in size to rival the master bedroom with the addition of a walk-in wardrobe and proudly featuring another original fireplace as the focal point. A panelled feature wall was added as a nod to the home’s history and the dual-aspect sash windows allow for plenty of natural light. 

Spa-like style
The huge family bathroom completes the first floor and sits between the two bedrooms for convenience. The freestanding rolltop bath is the headline feature of this lovely Victorian renovation but coupled with the walk-in shower enclosure, this space is as practical as it is stylish. 
Spa-like stone floor and wall tiles surround the room which also comprises a floor-standing wash basin, W/C and heated towel rail. 

Added charm 
You’ll climb the final flight of stairs to reach the remaining bedrooms which are nestled into the apex of the roof and therefore have the added charm of the quirky angles incorporated into their design. 
Much like the rest of the house, the interiors have been carefully synergised and flow with a similar design aesthetic including whitewashed wood laminate flooring throughout. Bedroom three is a generous double room which claims the curved arch window that you can see from the front of the property. 
Across the landing is the pristine guest suite which features the final cast iron fireplace and is adjoined with bedroom four to create a great independent space. With eaves storage cupboards built into both sides with the small round porthole window at the centre, bedroom four would also make a perfect study for an older child or teenager to have their own privacy. 

Low maintenance gardens 
The exterior of the home has been as carefully designed as the interior, with the finished offering resulting in a quaint and low maintenance garden with plenty of space to host. 
Wooden decking from the house wraps around the perimeter and finishes under an attractive pagoda which looks stunning at night when illuminated. 
A raised patio with a brick-built corner seat has hosted countless BBQs and parties with friends and family, and of course there are lawned areas at the front and back for the children to play. 
The path down the centre of the garden leads to the quaint workshop outbuildings which were previously stable blocks – as you’ll notice from one of the barn doors. The whole boundary is fenced and punctuated with mature trees to offer a sense of privacy.

Area to explore
Located on the fringes of Pontefract’s market town and surrounded by other Victorian properties, this is a fabulous spot and one of the most sought after locally. You’re a short walk away from the town centre which you’ll want to take advantage of over the weekend. Pontefract town centre has undergone something of a regeneration with new bars, cafes and independent shops opening up for business.
You also have two secondary schools and a wide choice of primaries for the little ones located within walking distance. A move here will give you excellent educational and recreational options as well as ensuring you’re well-placed location nearby the UK’s motorway network with the A1 and M62 each within a couple of miles for easy access to Leeds, Manchester, York and further afield to the North, South, East and West.

Oscarison House, 7 Park View, Hook

**OSCARISON HOUSE**
**NO ONWARD CHAIN**

A HOME SET IN HOOK

This detached, double-fronted property has served as a happy home to the same family since it was built. Extremely well presented from top to bottom, it’s a blank canvas inside and one not to be missed.

Situated in an exclusive development of only seven houses and just off Hook High Street, Park View is a fine place to settle and enjoy the peaceful village surroundings, while being only a couple of miles from the town of Goole.

With five spacious double bedrooms including three en-suites, the floorplan of this magnificent home would suit even the busiest of family lifestyles. Offering plenty of off-street parking in addition to a double garage and a private garden to the rear, you’ll want to step inside to see what the interiors have to offer.

A STRIKING ENTRANCE

The block-paved road of this quiet cul-de-sac sets the tone for the postcode and the property ahead, which is immaculately presented throughout.

A pleasing symmetry will catch your eye, with a central path running down the front lawn leading to the statement double front door – believed to have been reclaimed from a Church in Bradford.

An open entrance hallway with a striking wooden staircase and complementary internal doors offers a grand first impression. Here you’ll find a convenient W/C and access through to the living spaces on the ground floor.

THE BEST PLACE TO START

The downstairs reception rooms are connected to each other, as well as leading back to the hallway, allowing you to move through the home with ease providing flexible living arrangements to suit a bustling household. All family members can enjoy their own space with options to open the rooms up for social gatherings.

Spanning over half of the width of the house and overlooking the garden is the sizable kitchen – a social family hub designed to be a place to relax and gather with a dedicated TV area and a central island which serves as the morning breakfast bar. During summer months, the French doors will be flung open for BBQ season, extending the space even further. Featuring a range of wall and base units topped with stylish granite worktops, you’ll find modern luxuries including integrated Smeg appliances and porcelain tiles underfoot.

An adjoining utility room offers a handy space for storage and laundry, as well as access to the integral garage and a rear door to the garden.

FLEXIBLE SPACES FOR THE FAMILY

The huge dual-aspect lounge boasts an open layout with plenty of floor space giving the opportunity for different furniture configurations. Although the room is a blank canvas with a light and airy ambience, the central fireplace and gas stove adds a cosy touch come the evening.

A connecting dining room through double doors connects effortlessly to the garden via a further set of French doors, providing a seamless transition to the garden. This space could equally be used as a children’s playroom – in a home where comfort meets functionality to suit your lifestyle.
Before heading upstairs to explore the first floor, you’ll discover the office which is located at the front of the house. Dual-aspect windows provide a perfect light and airy space for hybrid working with enough room for multiple workstations.

MAXIMISING SUNLIGHT IN THE MASTER

At the top of the stairs, you’ll first notice the beautiful landing – a feature in its own right which wraps around the wooden spindles and bannisters in a U-shape. With a skylight maximising the natural light, the floorspace here could be home to a bookcase or other free-standing furniture to really make the most of the layout.

Straight ahead is the incredible Master suite which offers a view of both sunrise and sunset via three windows in total. Complete with a modern en-suite shower room and ample space for wardrobes – much like the downstairs – the decor remains neutral and ready to move straight in.

A TRIO OF EN-SUITES

At the opposite end of the landing, bedroom two is positioned above the garage and has an interesting vaulted ceiling with velux windows. 

The original plans for the property did not include a bedroom here, but it was added to the plans by the current owner. This is a perfect guest suite, also featuring an en-suite shower room. The final bedroom boasting its own en-suite bathroom is bedroom three, situated at the front of the property.
Two further generous double bedrooms share the family bathroom situated at the top of the stairs. 

The modern, four-piece white suite with monochrome black tiles offers a full-sized bathtub and separate shower enclosure, heated towel rail and high ceilings with a velux window for a bright start to your day.

HEAD OUT TO THE GARDEN

The rear garden is of low maintenance and offers the perfect retreat for children and grown-ups alike. The area is largely turfed with a patio in the corner to catch the sun and convenient seating areas outside the French doors leading out from the kitchen and dining room. 

Security is ensured as the whole of the boundary is enclosed with mature trees towering along one side. 

EXPLORE THE AREA
In addition to a wonderfully spacious family home on offer at Oscarison House, the village life in Hook is quite an attraction for those seeking a community feel. Just inside the border of East Riding of Yorkshire, you are a short drive from Goole and can also head to the market town of Howden with ease where between them are an abundance of supermarkets, delis and restaurants for your convenience. 
Within Hook itself, there are two village pubs, as well as a small village shop connected to the Post Office. The primary school is rated outstanding by Oftsed meaning the children will get a great educational start and then can move on to a choice of secondary schools nearby including Read private school in Drax. 
The M62 can be accessed in less than 10 minutes making journeys to Hull, Leeds and Manchester achievable for the daily commute as well as great road connections to York or the A1 for the north and south of the country. London can easily be accessed from Goole railway station, just a short drive away. 
When it’s time to relax on the weekend, you can pick up the River Ouse for a peaceful walk or head to the children’s playground for some wholesome family time. The village hall hosts a number of community events including Tai Chi and the well-regarded tennis and rugby clubs are both within close range as well.

Wentwood Farm, Hardwick Road, East Hardwick

**WENTWOOD FARM**

Set far back from the road down a sweeping lane and surrounded by rolling field views, along with only three neighbouring houses, you’ll find Wentwood Farm.
This impressive detached five-bedroom family home built at the turn of the century in place of its namesake barn building has space both inside and out. 
Featuring cohesive modern interiors, well-proportioned spaces including five reception rooms and a huge summer house for entertaining, versatility and privacy will be unrivalled. 

As you enter the property via secure electric gates, you’ll begin to appreciate the size of the plot which begins with a gravel driveway and parking for multiple vehicles, plus an immaculate garden with walled boundary which is ideal for children and animals to play freely. 

Head inside via the entrance porch and prepare to be wowed by the bright reception hallway as you step through the door. Featuring a bespoke gallery landing and oak timber frames that will continue throughout, this stunning first impression sets the tone for the home ahead. 

A TALE OF TWO HALVES

Clean and bright decor, minimalistic ceiling spotlights and luxury LVT flooring feature in almost every room in the house, creating a sense of flow and unity throughout.

From the hallway you can step in every direction but, as the house is divided almost equally into two halves, you may wish to explore the relaxation spaces first. 

The family room is visible through the French doors on the left, intentionally designed to allow daylight to pour through the glass panes. 
Despite the bright disposition thanks to dual-aspect windows, this has become the cosy room to hang out in and watch TV. With the office attached beyond a further internal door, this whole area would be perfect for teenagers to have their own dedicated space for friends, homework and leisure. 

SIZEABLE LIVING SPACES

The adults won’t have to compromise on their own seclusion with a separate 20ft lounge at the rear of the property, featuring double doors leading out to the patio. 

This expansive space has a large footprint to accommodate almost any furniture configuration, but you’ll be likely to gather round the log burning stove in the cooler months and spread out into the garden with the patio doors flung wide open in summer.

Completing this half of the ground floor is the downstairs W/C, which is conveniently placed near the front door and large enough to be used as a cloakroom for storing coats and bags at the end of the working day. 

COUNTRYSIDE KITCHEN

As you stand at the front door, the second wing of the property begins with the breakfast kitchen on your right. The split layout of the house is due to the foundations of the property following the original shape of the two former barns, connected only by the kitchen – meaning this does truly lay claim to being the heart of the home. 

Boasting a beautiful modern farmhouse style, your eyes will be drawn to original structural oak beams spanning across the centre of the ceiling offering a nod to the property’s heritage. 

Continuing the rustic aesthetic is a traditional double oven set within a decorative brick hearth plus solid oak units including a dresser and central island, all topped with luxury quartz worktops. 
Integrated appliances come as standard, but the practicalities don’t end there. A separate utility room is nestled in the corner which includes plumbing for a washing machine, an attractive Belfast sink and side access door to the garden. 

Before you head outside, you’ll also find a second W/C here which is convenient for guests when you’re hosting a BBQ. 

RUSTIC DINING ROOM

As you leave the kitchen through the second internal door, you’ll enter the property’s secondary hallway featuring an extra set of stairs. This adds potential to reconfigure and completely split the house into separate living quarters if family dynamics meant that guests needed an extra level of privacy. 

The dining room is no exception to the blank canvas rule with an exposed brick feature wall and the luxury LVT flooring continued through here, it makes a perfect spot for the family to gather for dinner but could equally be used as a living space. 

KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN

The final room on the ground floor has been used in a variety of ways during the last two decades. 
Forming the fifth bedroom on the floorplan and boasting ample space for a double bed, this quiet spot tucked away in the corner of the house could also be transformed into a playroom, gym or cinema room – the options are endless!

An internal door also provides access to the garage which could if chosen be partially converted into an en-suite to create an appealing guest space.

ROOM WITH A VIEW

Each aspect of this unique build is bespoke, including the floating gallery landing leading to the sleeping quarters all set within the apex of the roof. 

The master suite sits at the side of the property boasting enviable rural views from each of the treble-aspect windows, including two dormers that form interesting alcove spaces. 
As you’d expect from a property of this standard, the master comes complete with ample storage cupboards and an impressive en-suite bathroom featuring a built-in bathtub and separate corner shower among the white four-piece suite. 

The fourth and smallest bedroom on the first floor sits alongside the master. 
Despite being more modest in size, it’s oozing with natural light via the large skylight and also features a tiled en-suite shower room as an added bonus.

The final two bedrooms are a stroll away down the central hallway and they share the family bathroom that sits in between. 
Both are well-proportioned doubles, also with built-in storage cupboards. Bedroom two is slightly larger spanning the whole width of the house, whereas bedroom three features dual-aspect windows for an extra boost of Vitamin D in the morning. 

SPACIOUS AND SIMPLISTIC

Completing the first floor is the spacious family bathroom predominantly tiled in a simplistic monochrome design. Two skylight Velux windows illuminate the room alongside ceiling spotlights to ensure a bright and welcoming space. 

The well-proportioned four-piece suite includes a large corner bath and separate corner shower enclosure still leaving plenty of space for getting ready leisurely. 

SUMMER STUDIO

As you step outside into the garden, you’ll notice the final addition to the living space on offer which is a gorgeous summerhouse studio that was built only a year ago. 

The solid timber structure with treble doors to create a panoramic view is fully insulated and fitted with electrics and lighting to make the space truly multifunctional. Over the past year it’s been used as a gym, a home office and even to host a sleepover. Think of the fun kids could have in here with their friends when their birthday celebrations come round.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING

As you’d expect from a home of this stature, the exterior space doesn’t fall short. 
Designed to be completely low maintenance, beyond the extensive gravel drive you’ll find an immaculate single level lawn and a block paved patio that wraps around the perimeter of the house. The bins, plus the oil tank that fuels the property are neatly concealed behind fencing. 

With so much open space to lounge and play, the garden is completely private and tranquil with a secure hedge and wall to mark your plot in style.

AREA TO EXPLORE
Set in a rural area of West Yorkshire, this property is perfect for those looking for a slice of the countryside without being completely cut off from the practicalities of daily family life. Surrounded by fields in all directions, you’ll be spoilt by a peaceful and quiet lifestyle.
Despite this level of privacy, you are still situated within a mile of Pontefract market town where you will find an abundance of supermarkets, restaurants and attractions as well as a choice of highly rated primary and secondary schools.
The convenience of having shops within easy reach means residents can enjoy a blend of high-street brands and unique local boutiques. Whether it's a quick trip for groceries or a leisurely day of retail therapy, everything is close at hand.

You’re also only a few miles away from links to major motorways such as the A1 and M62 for a variety of easy commuting options.
Naturally, ease of access to a large town has its perks but if you are looking to embrace a village lifestyle instead, the neighbouring villages of Wentbridge, Darrington and Thorpe Audlin provide an air of quaint countryside charm. 
In Wentbridge in particular, you can take your pick for evening eateries. The Blue Bell Inn is a traditional gastro pub with the relatively recent addition of Blue Smoke - an Artisan Pizza restaurant on site. A short stroll away you’ll also find Wentbridge House Hotel which is an award-winning wedding venue and has an excellent contemporary restaurant to dine in with the family.

3 Stakers Orchard, Copmanthorpe

**3 STAKERS ORCHARD**

A prime location

This modern, detached five-bedroom home combined with a separate two-storey annex dating back to 1674 is a beautiful property and can be found in a prime location at the heart of Copmanthorpe.
Residing here for 26 years since the main house was first built on the foundations of the old orchard, the current owners show why this is a great place to settle. During this time, they have styled the interiors to emulate a timeless classic aesthetic and ensured it remains punctuated with characterful charm.
Positioned within this sought-after village and tucked away down a private drive along with three other homes – yet just 10 minutes away from York city centre – the location is a real draw and offers the best of both worlds. 
On arrival, you’ll be greeted with an immaculate gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and stunning landscaped gardens between the two properties complete with hydrangeas, viburnums and botanical delights offering ultimate curb appeal. 

A cosy family lounge

The pitched entrance porch offers a bright welcome and a practical space along with a convenient downstairs W/C to your right. 
Glass-paned French doors lead into the cosy family lounge which has been designed around the characterful vertical beams – an architectural trademark of the locally renowned builder. 
Without a doubt the focal point of the room is the deep brick fireplace set beneath an oak mantel upon a terracotta tiled hearth. This space really comes into its own over the winter months. 

A peaceful retreat

A second set of French doors creates a division between the lounge and the orangery although they’re often left open to extend the living space. 
Flooded with natural light from the windows and recent addition of the roof skylight, this space offers a peaceful retreat with enviable views of the rear garden, accessible through bi-fold doors. 
Unsurprisingly this is where the current owners come to relax all year round, often catching glimpses of the local wildlife while watching the seasons change. 

Countryside kitchen

A farmhouse style kitchen is also positioned at the rear of the property. Fitted with solid wooden base and wall units and complete with integrated appliances including dishwasher, fridge, microwave and double ovens, there’s also space for a modest dining table. 
Just next door you’ll find a separate utility room with space for the fridge/freezer and laundry appliances as well as offering a rear access door and an internal door leading through to the double garage.

Host in style

Completing the ground floor and its cohesive, flowing layout is the dining room which attaches back to the entrance hallway. 
You’ll notice the feature ceiling beams that are present throughout the downstairs and of course traditional wooden skirtings and doors that add to the country cottage aesthetic. 
With ample space for a large banqueting table, this would make the perfect space to host dinner parties and special occasions with the whole family gathered round. 

Maximised space 

The dual-aspect master bedroom sits above the garage and enjoys the quirky charm of the beams running across the apex of the roof, complete with a dormer window. 
Space has been maximised here with fitted wardrobes and drawers running the length of two of the walls – one of which incorporates a built-in window seat for perching with a book. 
A neutral and modern en-suite is tucked away in the corner which is tiled from floor to ceiling and comprises a large corner shower enclosure, W/C and vanity unit wash basin. 

Complete comforts

Bedroom two is a generous double featuring built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite with a walk-in shower, W/C, wash basin and heated towel rail. 
Due to the ample size and configuration, this would make a perfect guest room, offering privacy and space away from the master. 

Family bathroom

A recently renovated contemporary family bathroom sits next door which serves the final three bedrooms. 
Chic, wood-effect floor tiles are contrasted by earthy stone walls and bold charcoal grey vanity units housing the sink and W/C. 
A large bathtub is complemented by a corner shower enclosure so you can enjoy the best of both when it's time to soak away the day. 

For a growing family

Like the bedrooms you’ve seen so far, bedroom three is another double and the space is an immaculate blank canvas with plenty of storage space and soft neutral carpets.
Sitting side by side at the rear of the property are bedrooms four and five which complete the first floor. Both are currently set up as home offices due to the family dynamics, but they would easily work as children’s bedrooms from a nursery to a teenage space and everything in between. 

Lovingly landscaped

The outdoor landscape is equally pretty and well established with a focus on attractive wildflowers and textures filling the boundaries. 
The private lawn enclosed at the rear of the property is a good size for a family home, punctuated with patio seating areas and easy to maintain flower beds. With access to the house through various points, you’ll enjoy hosting al fresco. 

Your own characterful cottage

When driving up towards the home, you’ll have noticed a detached cottage within the plot which forms a beautiful one bedroom annex. 
Dating back to 1674, this unique conversion is part of the village’s proud heritage – recently in the leaflet for the Copmanthorpe Heritage Trail as one of the oldest properties in the surrounding area. 
The renovated interiors are bursting with character and ensure a real cottage feel exuding from the cast iron fireplaces, natural stone flooring and turned wooden staircase in the kitchen. 
A ground-floor bedroom for accessibility is coupled with a luxury en-suite shower room and the first floor offers an open-plan living space wrapped around the central chimney breast. Due to restrictions, the annex cannot be rented or used as a business so therefore it would make the ideal space for extended family to use, or as a peaceful personal office away from the main family home.

Area to explore

Conveniently located just four miles outside of the popular city of York, Copmanthorpe is unsurprisingly an extremely sought-after place to reside.
Within just 15 minutes, you can find yourself among the beautiful, cobbled streets in and around the famous Shambles with a range of classy shops, bars and eateries to enjoy. York particularly comes to life in the run-up to Christmas when the independent markets arrive – and you’re perfectly positioned to take advantage and will have plenty on your doorstep when friends and family come to stay.

On top of all this, Copmanthorpe has a thriving village vibe of its own. There are approx. 2,000 homes here and an abundance of amenities within walking distance for those days when you don’t fancy venturing into the city. This includes the Royal Oak pub and Sizzling Plate Indian restaurant, Little Acorns café serving fabulous coffee and tasty treats, a post office, hair salon, library, doctors, dentist, pharmacy, convenience stores, and a range of clubs and sports activities to suit the family.

You’re truly in one of the finest spots in Yorkshire here and also have the benefit of a direct train service from York into London in less than two hours. Owing to its placement alongside the A64 linking Leeds and Scarborough, you can also be in Leeds within half an hour.
For the kids, the village primary school is perfect and once they hit teenage years, you’re also in the catchment area for the highly regarded Tadcaster Grammar School, which can be travelled to and from via a daily bus service.

A riverside renovation
Welcome to Hebble House – a stunningly unique property which captures all that is appealing about the quirky and creative West Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge.
Following serious modernisation and renovation work, it has now been transformed into a property with so much to offer including high-end, modern living areas above a trendy commercial business space.
This luxury home has been tastefully and imaginatively curated with a lavish lifestyle in mind while being sympathetic to the heritage of the building and its iconic central location.
The end result is completely bespoke – and is now waiting for new owners to embrace the lifestyle it will instantly afford.

A gallery view
Situated in the heart of the town, not only does Hebble House offer you convenience in a prime location but this traditional stone building pleases those in search of beauty too.
Connected to the listed Old Packhorse Bridge, you’ll enjoy peaceful views across Hebden Beck.
This property is as stunning and desirable as you’d expect from the postcode. You won’t be disappointed.
You’ll arrive at the front of the property which oozes character and charm after your approach down Old Gate either by car or by foot.
Your attention will immediately be drawn to the artistic garage door at the front currently used to host a design by a local artist called Wilf Dessent.
This is the third piece that has been commissioned to adorn the door as part of an initiative to support the network of local creatives and promote their work.

A business opportunity
Step through the original entrance doors and you’ll enter the ground floor that is currently used as a business space for Hebble House Antiques.
From stables, to a music venue and a public house, these four walls have stories to tell throughout its plotted history dating back to 1899. With four industrial-style rooms finished with polished concrete floors punctuated with the original fireplaces, there’s ample scope to house any type of business you may want to operate from here – or you could even convert back to residential living.

A stylish start
Head upstairs to the first floor into apartment one, through the spacious hallway where you’ll find four bedrooms leading off it – formerly the lady’s parlours in the 1900s.
The decor is impeccable and continues with the artistic industrial theme, featuring gallery-style white walls and engineered wood flooring throughout.
Sympathetic period features including sash windows, panelled doors and decorative coving alongside the high ceilings add luxurious detail and a feeling of grandeur.

Luxurious living
Three of the four bedrooms are spacious doubles, two of which have the added luxury of their own chic en-suite shower room.
The fourth bedroom could also be set up as a further double but is currently being used as a home office.
Completing the first floor is a stunning, hotel-style family bathroom. Fully tiled with a glossy white finish and contemporary fittings including a bath tub, WC, wall-mounted wash basin and tall chrome towel rail. 

Instant wow factor
The best is yet to come at the top of the illuminated oak staircase. Take a stroll upstairs past the floral hand painted mural wall and arrive on the top floor and be prepared to be blown away. The vast open-plan living space stretches 130 square metres in total and does not disappoint.
What was once divided into seven bedrooms above the pub – used back in the 1900s to put up the traders who would transport cloth on horseback from Bradford to Lancashire on the famous Packhorse route, which passed through Hebden Bridge.
Today this space is now one glorious kitchen, dining and living area you’ll never want to leave. 
This modern living area is housed underneath the incredible vaulted roof crafted from reclaimed timber and cedar wooden beams which give this room the ultimate wow factor; the result of a large project to restore the originals and add new to achieve the maximum visual effect.
Encased by no less than thirteen stunning sash windows, the loft space is drenched in daylight and is the perfect place for the family and your friends to gather.
This room is quite simply out of this world. You really have to be standing inside to appreciate the amount of space on offer – effortlessly accommodating a huge dining table and a comfortable soft seating area ahead of the ultra-slick fitted kitchen at the rear. This home has achieved the perfect blend of style and practicality with impressive finishing touches including a solid-fuel stove in the corner and sunken plug sockets in the wooden floor. 

Hebden heights
Tourists travel far and wide to bask in the picturesque views of Hebden Bridge and the Yorkshire countryside with its beautiful heather moorland and quaint architecture. 
You’ll just need to take a few steps from the comfort of your sofa.
Slide open the doors from the living area and walk out onto your 100-square metre garden terrace to appreciate the breathtaking view all day and night long.
You’ll be delighted to learn that its south-facing trajectory catches the sunshine all day.
This private spot upon immaculate timber decking serves as your own viewing gallery, stretching five miles across the Calder Valley and over the hustle and bustle of the town centre – still famed and touched by the influence of the writers and artists who flocked here in the 1970s and 80s.

A view to be envied   
To complete the tour of this tardis-like property, an additional two-bedroom apartment overlooking the river is being offered as either part of the sale of the main house, or as a standalone purchase. 
In keeping with next door, an elegant, tiled hallway leads to the light and airy open plan kitchen-lounge area. The high spec, shaker-style kitchen is topped with quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances in a room which perfectly overlooks Hebden Beck, so you can be at peace and gaze across open waters every evening.

Although neutral and tasteful with minimal styling and ceiling spotlights throughout, it’s not short of character – featuring a quirky circular window, asymmetrical walls and high ceilings. Both generous double bedrooms offer in-built storage and large en-suite bathrooms with a slick modern finish.  Warm and inviting engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout the home and an additional WC, plus a handy utility room completes a perfectly spacious and modern apartment.

Area to Explore
A picturesque market town with an array of independent shops situated in the Calder Valley and with easy access to the northern cities of Manchester, Leeds and Bradford.
You’ll be spoilt for choice for food and drink with pubs, cafes and restaurants available in abundance although the current owner of Hebble House recommends The Old Gate Pub, Café H or Café Solo as the standout options.
A choice of beautiful countryside walks come as standard with the Hardcastle Crags National Trust site right on your doorstep, and that’s just the start. 
If you’re a culture vulture at heart, The Trades is renowned as one of the best and iconic music clubs in the country while the Hebden Bridge Picture House provides a cosy spot for watching a film having been attractively restored from its original 1920s art deco building.

The Manor House, Wrights Lane, Cridling Stubbs

**THE MANOR HOUSE**

A GEORGIAN RENAISSANCE
The Manor House is a spectacular example of a classic double-fronted Georgian property, however what you see before you has been quite the passion project, being lovingly restored and brought back to life after lying dormant for many years.

Dating back to 1820, the traditional charm and heritage of The Manor House has been retained despite the renovation throughout the footprint of the home. So those seeking character and period features will be delighted to find high ceilings, feature fireplaces and well-proportioned rooms as standard.

Inside this transformed family home, you’ll find versatile spaces including four reception rooms and six bedrooms, including two with their own en suites. The allure begins the moment you arrive at the wrought iron electric gates and catch a glimpse of the stone built residence adorned with climbing florals – a combination oozing with picture-perfect curb appeal. With an expansive gravel driveway for ample off-street parking, landscaped grounds plus a private rear garden, there’s plenty on offer to explore and enjoy as a growing family.

The wow factor continues as you head inside through the traditional central front door which opens into a striking entrance hallway. The tall ceilings with picture rail detail and attractive interior woodwork will continue cohesively throughout. Victorian-style mosaic tiles pave the way past the winder staircase and bold antique column radiators, through to the breakfast kitchen at the rear of the property.

REGAL ROOMS
Head to the front of the property where you’ll find the dining room and lounge at either side of the staircase - two very regal spaces that are symmetrical in size and orientation as is typical of a double-fronted property of this era. The tall ceilings really come into their own, coupled with detailed wooden panelling and characterful window shutters maximising on the height and grandeur. 

The dining room features oak engineered flooring, a grand marble fireplace housing an multi-fuel cast iron stove and double chandeliers hanging from the ceiling roses. 

The lounge offers a traditional sitting room aesthetic with a central cast iron fireplace and dual-aspect windows that flood the area with natural light all day long. 

Due to the generous proportions and position on the floor plan, this exquisite pair of reception rooms are completely versatile and interchangeable to suit your family dynamics. 

A STUNNING SPACE
The original and quirky charm has been retained to perfection from the beams overhead to the unique cast iron fireplace range which really comes into its own in winter. A Rangemaster cooker with a gas stove has been added for modern practicality and throughout the room you’ll find other integrated appliances plus a double sink within the breakfast bar.

With a large window plus rear access door to the garden allowing plenty of natural light, this charming open space makes the perfect spot to gather with the family each morning before the working day begins.

MODERN MEETS TRADITIONAL
Step across to the snug room after you’ve passed the handy pantry storage on the right and the stylish refurbished wet room on the left which is fully tiled in marble effect and finished with chrome, featuring a convenient ground floor shower and W/C. The snug provides all you need for cosy home comforts. Complete with a traditional carpet underfoot and a cast iron log burner set upon a slate hearth under an oak mantel, it’s easy to settle down in front of the TV or curl up with a book in peace. In the corner of the room, you’ll notice the slope of the ceiling where in a past century the signs of a second staircase remain that once led up to the servant’s quarters.

A GRAND MASTER SUITE
As you ascend upstairs along the oak banister to the first floor, the theme of spacious living areas with charm and character continues starting on the gallery landing with traditional doors leading to six bedrooms and a family bathroom. Overhead, you’ll also be able to take advantage of the vast loft space which runs the whole length of the landing. 

The master suite feels special with its intricate coving detail, panelled walls punctuated with dual-aspect windows and a bold décor being typically grand. It comes complete with a built-in wardrobe and fully tiled en-suite tucked away in the corner. This space features a contemporary concealed shower within a large corner enclosure, W/C and corner wash basin.

MADE TO FEEL AT HOME
The large double guest bedroom certainly does not compromise on style and size – complete with its own country cottage style panelled en-suite featuring a large, tiled shower cubicle and cute arched window. Your friends and family will feel right at home here in a bright and airy space thanks to the dual-aspect windows with an outlook to the garden and across the field views beyond.

AN ODE TO ORIGINAL FEATURES
The third and fourth bedrooms sit back-to-back above the dining room and kitchen, each oozing with character from the rustic oak floorboards to the original cast iron fireplaces which are now closed but still make wonderful decorative features. 
Both are generous doubles with traditional column radiators beneath the windows and ample space for freestanding furniture.

Nestled in between the four larger bedrooms are two smaller doubles or generous single bedrooms that would make beautiful children’s rooms. Bedroom six is currently used as the office but, much like the downstairs, is well proportioned meaning you have options for all the family plus plenty of freedom to work from home.

A MARRIAGE OF OLD AND NEW
Completing the first floor at the top of the stairs is the showstopper family bathroom. Sympathetically renovated with a nod to the history of the house yet perfectly modern and fresh, this luxury tiled space features a large walk-in rainfall shower plus a freestanding bathtub as the centre highlight.
A traditional high-level cistern W/C and ornate column radiator beneath the window incorporate the Georgian style fixings, alongside a slick marble topped wash basin and slim heated towel rail. In our opinion, it optimises the perfect marriage of old and new.

LIVING UP TO EXPECTATION
It’s not always the case that the attention to detail and immaculate upkeep of the exterior matches the interior in a property of this standard. Here at The Manor House however, the outdoors definitely lives up to the home you’ve already admired. The country charm is personified by the stone wall around the boundary at the back where evenings are spent lounging in the swim spa hot tub under the glow of festoon lights. 
The small, landscaped lawn and patio makes the perfect spot for al fresco dining or relaxing with a drink after a dip – with easy access into the kitchen.

The final part of the house will also be revealed which is accessed from the rear garden – a chic and ultra-convenient scullery room which is fitted from floor to ceiling with shaker-style cabinets and also houses the laundry appliances. Complete with a Belfast sink and an extra W/C, there’s no need to be in and out of the house while making the most of the great outdoors.
Around the front of the house where you’ll complete the full 360 tour is a perfectly manicured flower bed bordering the property and a gardener’s dream combination of a picturesque greenhouse, vegetable patch, potting shed and three workshops. 

The feature pond offers a peaceful place to sit and admire the botanicals, while the gravelled area can host a huge table for BBQs and parties. Lawns punctuated with cherry trees have space for the children to play and the current owners installed an automated irrigation system to keep the green space hydrated and lush all-year round.

EXPLORE THE AREA
You can be forgiven for living nearby and potentially never having heard of Cridling Stubbs before such is its subtle seclusion and small village feel. Just three miles outside of the nearest town of Knottingley, there’s a lot to admire and love about the privacy you are afforded here. A little closer to home the villages of Womersley and Darrington are extremely sought after and between them offer the convenience of a village shop, a golf club, tearooms, a choice of pubs and plenty of walking routes to explore. 

Throw into the mix that you are also within a five-minute drive of the A1 and M62 and it feels like the best of both worlds. Despite being small, Cridling Stubbs proudly has a village hall at the centre of the community, renovated during recent years. Opposite you’ll see a traditional phone box which in a quirky twist still has a working telephone giving an honourable nod to days gone by. 

Around a 5 minute drive away you will find Above and Below, a diver training facility based at The Blue Lagoon which is a purpose built 32 acre open water site for recreational divers. The tight-knit community also come together around events organised through the village hall including village shows on the green, scarecrow festivals, Christmas parties and Easter egg hunts for the children.

Woodlands Drive, Cragg Wood Conservation Area

A Hidden Gem

Accessed from a private country lane in the exclusive neighbourhood of Cragg Wood Conservation Area, this impressive stone property which comprises Hamilton House and Hamilton Lodge, is an idyllic rural retreat which could easily be described as one of the area’s best kept secrets.

Once believed to be the head office of Bradford-based automotive manufacturer Jowett’s, over the years the property has been the base for an orchid-growing business, divided into three apartments and, most recently, sympathetically converted and developed into Hamilton House and Hamilton Lodge – both ideal for today’s modern families looking for a taste of luxury, sophistication, and relaxation; and quite simply beautiful inside and out.

A real showstopper at first glance

Driving through electric gates providing added privacy and security you won’t fail to be amazed by the impressive frontage of this imposing residence.

The exterior comprises well-kept landscaped lawns and hedges, and plenty of parking on a gravel drive.


Entering a world where size, style, location, and luxury are all rolled into one

Walking up a short flight of Yorkshire stone paving slabs, you open the front door and are struck by the light, spacious, airy environment which greets you in the large hallway – an immediate ‘wow’ factor.


A kitchen to fall in love with

Turning left from the entrance foyer you step into a true culinary delight with a large open-plan Kitchen/Diner.

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home and you’d struggle to find more of a sociable room than this.

No expense or attention to detail has been spared in creating an area which simply exudes luxury, modernity, and class. This room becomes the ultimate party space.

The shaker-style units create adequate storage space and integrated features include a separate fridge and freezer, Bosch oven with plate warmer and induction hob, wine cooler and dish washer finished with a Quartz worktop.

A modern, stylish breakfast bar creates a natural division. With a deep ceramic sink, and stainless-steel tap, it provides an extremely useful food preparation area. Alternatively, it offers an ideal place to sit and chat with drinks and snacks.

The size of the room allows plenty of flexibility for adding a dining table, chairs and a sofa for relaxing.
The entire space is finished with a light-coloured titled floor, complete with under-floor heating, to create a classic aesthetic feel.

An outstanding feature is the glass frontage, overlooking the garden. Peel open the bifold doors and you’re straight onto the patio and the lawn for those perfect BBQ days.

As well as the glass frontage, a large glass ceiling lantern adds to the light, airy ambience of the room.


Relax and unwind

Across from the Kitchen/Diner is the well-proportioned Lounge.

Whether you want to chill out reading a book, or watching your favourite TV show, this spacious room, with a bay window to the front, provides beautiful views over the surrounding woodland and countryside, and offers a truly calm environment in which to relax.

A key feature is the carved out alcove which holds a log-burner adding to the charm, warmth, and cosiness of the room.

There’s adequate space for free-standing furniture and fitted or stand-alone storage.


W/C and separate Utility Room

Accessed from the Hallway is a tastefully decorated W/C and a Utility Room.

The Utility Room is fully-plumbed for all household appliances - ensuring the daily chores are kept away from the main spaces of the home. It’s well-appointed with marble-effect mosaic tiling and adequate storage.


Flexible living

Alongside the Utility Room is a Family Room/Playroom – again tastefully appointed to high, modern standards.

This perfectly sized, comfortable area offers additional entertaining and social space, or simply the chance for kids to unwind and let off steam whilst you relax undisturbed with friends in other spacious and social living areas.

Once again there’s adequate space for your hand chosen furniture and fittings.


A gamer’s paradise

Taking the stairs down from the hallway, you access what can only be described as a gamer’s paradise – a basement which has been developed into a flexible and versatile Games Room.

Whether you decide you want to practice your Pool or Snooker skills, or relax on comfy furniture and beanbags playing the latest video games, this hidden retreat underneath the house will undoubtedly become the envy of all your family and friends.
Despite its basement location, light streams into the room through three windows.


Sweet dreams and bubbles galore

A staircase from the hallway leads to a first-floor landing.

Accessed from the spacious landing, there are three generously-sized bedrooms and a house bathroom on the first floor.


Master suite

The spacious Principle Bedroom creates the ideal ambience in which to relax and unwind after a hard day.

It has dual aspect windows – allowing views out over the garden and surrounding countryside.

As with the rest of the house, the room is decorated in neutral, aesthetically-pleasing colours – minimising the need to redecorate.

The room includes a large En-Suite – with modern style shower, W/C, washbasin, and tiled floor. 

The landing also gives access to Bedroom Two and Bedroom Five – both ideally-sized and with space for the buyers’ personal taste of storage and furniture.

Bedroom Two includes an ensuite, tiled with W/C washbasin and walk-in shower.

Before turning in for the night the House Bathroom, at the top of the stairs and alongside Bedroom Five, offers the perfect opportunity to unwind and wash all your worries away.
Its charming, vintage style includes a claw-foot bath and tiled flooring.

A short flight of stairs up to the Third Floor, gives access to Bedrooms Three and Four. 
Both have plenty of storage and furniture space and benefit from tastefully decorated ensuites with walk-in shower, W/C and handbasin.


Secret Garden

There’s no doubt that Hamilton House boasts several hidden gems.

At the end of the lawn, a narrow pathway weaves its way through trees to reveal a hidden garden. For lovers of peace and solitude, this offers a perfect sanctuary to leave the pressures of life behind and unwind and relax in an idyllic rural retreat.

Round and about

This unique, charming family home lies in the heart of the Cragg Wood Conservation Area.

For those looking for a quiet, rural life, they’re simply a dream waiting to come true. 

In a secluded, private, rural location, with ramblers heading to the surrounding woods and countryside being the main passers-by, this could quite easily be recognised as one of the district’s best kept secrets.

With its views out over the Yorkshire countryside, the village offers peace and tranquillity, as well as convenient access by train to both Leeds and Bradford.

Brimming with historic pubs, complete with stone walls and wooden beams, tea rooms and shops, the village is home to the popular and ofsted rated ‘excellent’, private school Woodhouse Grove.

The Farmhouse, Grange Court, Badsworth

**THE FARMHOUSE**
**NO CHAIN AND PRIVATE ANNEXE LIVING IF REQUIRED**

Believed to date back to the 1600s, this centrally located former farm building is not just a home, but a piece of history steeped in charm. With access to the countryside and miles of picturesque walks on the doorstep, this home is ideal for someone looking for a unique and special lifestyle. It is not so rural that you would feel isolated, as the major motorway links, railway transport and towns are only a short drive away.

Come on in
As the front door opens, you are greeted by the morning room, a bright and welcoming space with original stone-flagged flooring and beamed ceilings to hint at the rest of the property still to discover. The morning room is truly the heart of the home and from here you can access the kitchen, lounge, staircase to the first floor and the library, which is a perfect area for curling up with a good book.

Rustic charm
The kitchen sits within the former dairy parlour, and there is a circular stone flag to fill in where the original dairy drain used to be - a great conversation piece. There are wooden kitchen units with plenty of storage and workspace and a gas-fueled AGA, which is just fantastic in the winter months to keep the property at a lovely ambient temperature. While a beautiful feature, cooking with an AGA can take some skill, so there is a built-in double electric oven and hob. The centre of the room is left open for the family to gather around a farmhouse table.
The utility/laundry room, accessed from the library, has plumbing and space for the tumble dryer and washing machine, as well as room for an additional fridge or freezer if needed. This has been used as a drying room with a vertical radiator.

Independent living
There is a unique potential to separate this part of the home, which was the original barn, from the rest as an annexe for extended family or keep it connected for a teenagers’ pad. First on the corridor you’ll find bedroom four which links to a shower room and beyond this you’ll find the sitting room, separated by a store which allows access to the shower room on both sides. Currently used as a music room, providing a separate social area within the property but offering distance and privacy while still being part of the same house. The sitting room gives access into bedroom three, currently used as a games room.

Cosy and characterful
The lounge is a showstopping space and located in the original part of the home with an impressive fireplace housed in a stone surround to keep it warm. This room is ideal for the whole family to sit together and watch TV in the evening or host lavish parties with lots of guests. There is also a lovely window seat set within the bay to take in the view. Drop the blinds and fully appreciate the ambience and ultimate cosy relaxation space. The characterful impact of this divine living space is undeniable with the beautiful natural beams and original stone floors continuing through.

Impressive Spaces
You will climb a few steps from the morning room to a half landing with a quarry-tiled floor leading to a large bathroom. This modern bathroom has a wash hand basin with vanity drawers beneath, a W/C and a large, deep bath with shower over, which is a pleasing contrast to the rustic nature of the property. Climb the stairs to an open landing area, ideal as a playroom for the children, a study area or another quiet seating spot to relax.

The master bedroom is impressive, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling towering above, which was the original hayloft, and a large stone fireplace. There are built-in wardrobes for storage and plenty of space for a large bed and a sofa area. This bedroom is really more like a master suite and wouldn’t look out of place in a stately home. The modern en-suite bathroom has a heated tiled floor, a white wash hand basin, and vanity drawers below. The shower is a wet room style with a glazed screen. There is a Jack and Jill-style door back onto the landing.

Bedroom two is also a large bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, exposed rafters, a fireplace and built-in wardrobes. You’ll be forgiven if you mistake this room as the master on first entry due to to the size and style.
Bedroom four accessed up a few steps off the landing has a feature cast iron fireplace and a feature window to the side. This room also has fitted wardrobes ideal for the children’s toys.

Glorious Gardens
From the moment you approach the property, enshrouded by hedges and mature trees that create an immense sense of privacy, the wisteria-clad frontage comes into view. The gardens, mainly laid to lawn, wrap around the property so there is always somewhere to find sun throughout the day. Enjoy your morning coffee in the dappled sunlight of the utterly private courtyard garden whilst the bells from the nearby church strike the hour. The courtyard is separate from the main garden, accessed from the rear hallway off the kitchen, and is a perfect and peaceful sanctuary.

Out and about
Life in the country is often tranquil and calm, but modern living requires access to amenities. Fortunately, The Farmhouse has the best of both worlds. Just a short distance from local shops and a little further to significant supermarkets, easy access to the A1 and M62 for journeys further afield and the train station at Fitzwilliam is just 10 minutes away. If you drive further to Doncaster, you can access the East Coast Mainline service to London if you need to commute into the city. The schools in the area are very popular and, as a resident, you would be in the catchment area.
Badsworth is a hidden gem of a village, exuding Yorkshire hospitality and a strong sense of community. The property is within walking distance of a traditional pub and a little further away from a delightful restaurant at the Wentbridge Hotel, offering a tranquil and serene environment.

Paddock Lodge, Hirst Road, Chapel Haddlesey

**PADDOCK LODGE**

Warm Welcome
Welcome to Paddock Lodge, an attractive home with five beautiful bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Built by Hogg the Builder, renowned for exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. It has all of the benefits of a modern home with the glorious design features of a period property. The front door opens up to reveal the central hallway, where if the doors are open just right, you can sneak a peek all the way through the kitchen to the orangery and gardens beyond.

Sit Down and Relax 
The layout and use of this home is very flexible. 
There are two rooms at the front of the property: a formal dining room and a family lounge. However, they could be used for any purpose your family requires such as a playroom or music room. The lounge has a multi-fuel stove within a feature brick fireplace adding character to this otherwise contemporary room which is oozing with natural light from the large bay window. You’ll be snuggling up on the sofa to watch a film with the whole family in here.

Divine Dining
The second reception room is a formal dining space perfect for hosting dinner parties and serving a roast dinner or Christmas feast. This is a lovely entertaining area featuring detailed coving and decorative wall-panelling.

Heart of the home
The heart of the home has to be the kitchen. Oak units fitted against the walls with granite worktops ensure there is no shortage of storage or workspace for when the household chef is in their element preparing a meal. The window looks out into the garden at the rear and toward the paddock beyond. Despite the great amount of space, the washer and dryer are hidden away in the additional utility room with oak units painted in a pale grey, and access to the downstairs W/C. Light floods in from the orangery, a real extension to the kitchen, and where most people gather when they visit.
A lovely space with bi-fold doors out to the patio area, bringing the outside in. There is even a log burner in here so that the room is cosy throughout the winter, too.

Sweet Dreams
This property has five bedrooms, so there is enough room for the whole family.
The master bedroom has a feature panelled wall in an emerald green jewel tone for a rich, decadent style. With space for seating as well as storage space you’ll find this a much loved area of the home. As you’d expect from a room of this calibre, there is an en-suite which features ‘Jack & Jill’ wash basins mounted over Oak units with a concealed shower enclosure.
Bedrooms two and four can be found just along the hallway. Bedroom two is a practical guest room and offers a generously sized sleeping area with the addition of an en-suite shower room. The floorspace allows for a variety of furniture, perfect to create a dressing area or to add built-in storage.
The simplistic decor in both rooms make them attractive to every member of the household.  

Second Floor Surprises
Climb the staircase to the second floor, and you will find a delightful nook, the perfect spot to hide away and read beneath the Velux window.
You’ll find a four piece bathroom with a lovely free-standing roll-top bath up here along with bedrooms three and five. Each of the bedrooms is spacious, with exposed oak beams and slightly sloping ceilings. This floor would make an impressive suite, with bedroom three being a generous size ideal for a master bedroom, and potential to use bedroom five as a sizeable personal dressing room. 

Outside Haven
The gardens are fantastic, with a large lawn area to the rear for children to run and play freely. 
The patio directly from the Orangery offers the perfect spot for al fresco dining. Across the gravel, another area currently houses a hot tub and seating for enjoying those long summer evenings. In front of the property is a secret sun trap, quiet and tucked away, private behind the hedges; it is the perfect place for a quiet sit and perhaps a coffee in peace if busy family life will ever allow.
There is certainly no shortage of parking here, from the spacious driveway to the abundance of gravelled area behind the gates, ideal if you have a motorhome or caravan for safe storage.
The double garage is great if you like to park inside with an EV charging point and has plenty of storage space, plus above the garage is a fabulous office. Velux windows ensure natural light for working in, and being separate from the property means that if you work from home, you still feel like you are leaving the house and are not distracted by family or chores when you are busy. The enclosed, flat paddock measures just less than a third of an acre, with vehicle access, ideal for a small horse or pony. There is also a timber-stable building with lighting conveniently next to the paddock gate. 

About the Area       
In the countryside, you are surrounded by nature, walks and bridlepaths. You could even walk along the canal path and into Selby, just 4 miles away.
Chapel Haddlesey is a typical Yorkshire village, with a good local pub, the Jug Inn, serving home-cooked meals and a community hall with endless events and activities for you to get involved in; a real community spirit brings people together and welcomes newcomers and locals alike.
The primary school is just around the corner, and there is a bus service to Selby for the secondary school children.
Transport links are also fantastic for a small village, with a regular bus service and the train station in Selby you can commute into York or Leeds quite easily, with routes further afield. The M62 motorway is only a few miles away, which links to the major cities and towns in the area.

Victoria House, Roe Lane, Birkin

**VICTORIA HOUSE**

Equestrian facilities are rare, and this property has everything you could hope for. A 40x20 floodlit manège, four stables with a store, a fully secure tack room with hot water and electricity and a paddock that measures approximately 1.75 acres.
The beautiful brick-built Victoria House comes into view as you arrive at the gated driveway. Built in 1992 by the owners, care and attention have been put into every detail. The property has three bedrooms and the most magnificent family living space, perfect for entertaining family and friends. There is even lapsed planning permission for a fourth bedroom above the garage, which a new owner could apply to reinstate if you wanted more sleeping space.

COSY LIVING

As the front door opens into an entrance hall, you’ll get a sneak peek of the lovely lounge. Light pours in from the large sliding doors leading onto the patio area, allowing an undisturbed view of the gardens. This cosy room has reclaimed wooden flooring and a multi-fuel stove in a stone surround—perfect for a movie night with popcorn and blankets.

WOW FACTOR

Everyone gathers in the large, bright, open-plan kitchen family room. Whether watching TV on the comfortable sofas in front of the living flame gas fire or eating a meal at the dining table, this room is where all the socialising happens. Skylights in the vaulted ceiling provide maximum daylight, the many full-height windows around the room, and French doors that open onto the patio seating area outside, creating a seamless connection with the gardens.
This is fantastic for hosting large gatherings with family and friends. Your guests can mingle with ease and even spill out into the garden in the summer.
Underfloor heating gently warms porcelain floor tiles, and the built-in BOSE surround sound system plays music for every occasion. The sleek kitchen area has a wide array of high-gloss white units topped with black granite. A central island with casual seating is the perfect spot to perch and enjoy an aperitif and a chat whilst cooking dinner. The five-ringed Neff hob with Wok burner and extractor hood, along with the Bosch double ovens, will ensure that everything is cooked to perfection.
A separate utility room has space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and under-counter fridge and freezer, meaning the kitchen has no wasted storage space.

TIME FOR BED

Climb the stairs to the bedrooms, where you will find three lovely rooms, ideal for a good night's rest. Each bedroom has magnificent views across the paddock and the countryside beyond.
The house bathroom is a showstopper. It is fully tiled with granite and fitted with the highest-quality finish. The freestanding bath takes centre stage, with a wall-mounted tap and internal filler. The basin appears to float freely, and there is a large walk-in shower unit with a drying area. Enjoy long soaks in deeply filled bubble baths after a long day.

GROUNDS TO ENJOY

The gardens are edged with manicured hedges, which surround a perfect lawn and a suntrap granite patio where you can enjoy the warmth throughout the day. This is the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco lunch or a relaxing drink on an evening as you watch the sunset over the paddock.
There is plenty of parking on the driveway, and the integral garage has water and power. The stables have a separate access road, so deliveries or visitors do not have to come to the house.

EXPLORE THE AREA

Rarely can you find such a fantastic property with equestrian facilities and open views nestled into the countryside that is also so accessible. The A1 and M62 are a few short minutes away, and Selby train station offers direct trains to London or York, making this ideal if you need to travel for work. There are shops in the nearby villages for daily essentials, with larger supermarkets only slightly further afield in nearby Knottingley.
If you have children, several primary and secondary school options are within a 4-mile radius of the property.
Within walking distance is the locally renowned Birkin Fisheries Tea Room and Ice Cream shed which is perfect for all the family with regular events for the children and is a popular stop off for keen cyclists.

The Croft, Almshouse Lane, Newmillerdam

**THE CROFT**

Nestled away along a quiet lane just moments from the peaceful Newmillerdam nature reserve, this quaint detached property is deceptively spacious and bursting with modern personality.
The Croft is a large, four-bedroom family home with versatile living spaces that have been cleverly modernised to maximise every corner to create a sociable flow.
With a luxurious private garden and the very best of nature on your doorstep, you’ll have space to grow and explore for decades here.
Complete with off-street parking and beautiful interiors, look no further for a unique and spacious property in an ideal location to lay your roots.

ELEGANT ENTRANCE
Once you’re parked on the ample driveway which comfortably allows for four cars, head straight through the front door and into the bright and practical entrance hallway.
Finished with sleek Karndean flooring and ceiling spotlights, there’s a distinct modernised feel in this space but you’ll also notice a glimpse of the original stone exterior wall believed to be from the original Almshouse building. Since then, the whole property has been tastefully renovated and extended to suit a growing family. 

STUDIO-STYLE SUITE
Unconventionally, the remainder of the downstairs accommodation forms a magnificent guest suite complete with studio-style living quarters, a large bedroom area and handy en-suite shower room. 
This space has been the perfect abode for a teenager to enjoy their own privacy in recent years with fitted wardrobes plus ample space for freestanding furniture including a sofa and desk. 
The clean, monochrome en-suite features a large double shower enclosure, W/C and a white wall-hung basin with full tiled walls and Karndean tiled flooring. 

HEAD UP TO THE MAIN EVENT
The old exterior staircase takes you up to the first floor where you’ll notice French doors out to the raised front garden. Here you’ll find an abundance of storage and the floorplan split equally into two separate zones – one half for sleeping and the other for living. 
The whole space is extremely light and bright which is a trend that continues throughout the property.

THE CENTRAL SOCIAL SETTING
The first reception room you’ll find yourself in is the kitchen – a truly social space designed for hosting and gathering where many milestones have been celebrated. 
Owing to the stunning vaulted roof with oak beams and skylights, this striking space is bright and modern with a hint of country farmhouse. 
Bold blue wooden tongue and groove base units are offset with rustic wooden worktops and lighter wall units, finished with bruised chrome appliances including a Smeg hob and hood with complementary splashback, large Smeg oven, American larder fridge and built-in microwave. 

DELIGHTFUL DINING 
The Karndean floor of the kitchen flows intentionally into the dining room which occupies the old conservatory after it was reimagined just two years ago. A workstation to accompany the kitchen runs across the rear wall connecting the two spaces, which features a hot tap and sink – perfect for making cocktails and serving aperitifs to your guests. 
The dual-aspect room with a Velux window for extra light is beautiful to host the dining table, overlooking the garden through bi-fold doors that open out onto the patio. 
There’s also a utility/boot room which houses the laundry appliances and has ample space for hiding away clutter from the living areas. 

OPEN-PLAN LIVING
Through the second archway connecting the kitchen you’ll find the largest room in the house – the family lounge. 
This completely open L-shaped space was designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. With soft carpet underfoot and a stone fireplace housing a dual-fuel burner, cosy nights in front of the TV are a dream. Dual-aspect windows pouring with natural light come as standard – each offering a different aspect to the grounds outside and the chic decor marries with the ground floor to create a sense of uniformity throughout the house. 
Tucked away in the corner through unassuming French doors is a small snug which would make a beautiful reading area or quiet space for the children. 

A STYLISH PLACE TO SOAK
You’ll find the main family bathroom over on the right wing of the property towards the bedrooms. 
Central to the landing, this space is stylish throughout in calming grey textures. Featuring a white suite comprising bath with shower over, large wall-hung sink and W/C, you’ll be guaranteed a peaceful soak after a busy day at work.  

MAXIMISING THE BEDROOM FLOORPRINT
As you meander down the hallway, bedrooms two and three sit side by side and overlook the wooded area to the rear. 
Both generous doubles are split level, maximised in space with a small step down to a beautiful storage, dressing or study area which was formerly a balcony for each room. 
This clever configuration has been part of the labour-intensive work on the structure and flow, with the result of using every inch of the property to its full potential. 

PRIVATE MASTER SUITE
Completing the first floor is the grand master suite which, like the ground floor bedroom, is split into zones to form its own unique living space and large enough to comfortably fit a superking-sized bed. 
The generous dressing room sits separately through an arched entrance. Beyond the wardrobe space, you’ll notice French doors through to the home office – offering ultimate privacy and separation for those days when you need to escape the hustle and bustle of family living areas and crack on with the day job. The modern en-suite offers a spa-like experience featuring a pebble tiled walk-in shower, minimal whitewash basin and W/C. 

BASK IN THE BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR SPACES
After having caught a glimpse of the front garden on arrival which wraps around the sides of the property, you may have noticed the attention to detail in the attractive stone wall boundary and the pristine hedges bordering the perimeter. 
There’s plenty of scope here to transform this area into a vegetable plot or an additional play space, but a large garden offering privacy and seclusion is also awaiting at the rear. 
With multiple easy access points from either the side steps or the boot room and dining room which leads straight out to the patio, this beautiful exterior has been transformed into a great place to relax especially when the sun is shining.
A paved pathway leads to a large decking area, designed to be enjoyed in all weathers as you cosy up on the sofa under the roofed pagoda boasting ambient lighting and electricity connection. 
While there’s also plenty of patio for al fresco dining, the lawn is still very well proportioned, surrounded by leafy mature trees. 
The final addition to the practical spaces on offer here is the quaint summer house tucked away in the far corner – complete with pitched roof, wired internet and immaculately finished interior. The family currently use this as a second office space.

AREA TO EXPLORE

Purchasing a property here in the village of Newmillerdam will soon make you the envy of many of your local friends.
This village – situated just three miles outside of the city of Wakefield – is best known for its country park woodlands which surround a calm and peaceful lake. It is a little bit of a tourism honeypot at the weekend meaning you also have an array of pubs, restaurants and cafes right on your doorstep.
On weekday morning and evenings, you’re likely to have the rural surroundings all to yourself making it ideal for your walking routines and perfect for dog owners in particular.
The Lakeside Café is a famous haunt serving fantastic breakfast and brunch while on the lakeside trail itself, you’ll find The Boathouse which is bustling with crowds most mornings serving lovely cakes and a coffee.
The Dam Inn is a popular Thwaites pub serving a Sunday Roast while Fox & Hounds likewise is great for a pint or two. 
If it’s more an evening meal you’re after, take your pick from Capri which has only recently opened or La Fortezza which both offer Italian cuisine.
There really is plenty to choose from here and many establishments you’ll only be too happy to become regulars in. 
This location is also close to a host of major motorways including the M1, M62 and A1 without being right alongside them. The children are in catchment areas for the outstanding-rated primary school in Hall Green before they’ll be able to choose from QEGS or Silcoates as a private option.

The Old Church Hall, Burghwallis

**THE OLD CHURCH HALL**

A HOME STEEPED IN HISTORY
As the namesake suggests, this spectacular detached property was indeed formed from the old church hall of St Helen’s Church in the quaint village of Burghwallis.
Although its heritage dates back to the early 1900’s, you’ll be delighted on arrival to see what stands before you today is a contemporary and luxurious four-bedroom family home which boasts a modern spec throughout. It has undergone phases of renovations since being reinvented as a residential dwelling in 2009. Equally appealing inside and out – with an attractive stone exterior and bespoke architectural quirks including the focal point of the corner glass window wall which has become a renowned landmark for locals driving through – the design is high end and offers the best of open-plan living. Complete with a private courtyard garden, double detached garage and leafy green surroundings, it’s the idyllic setting for a family seeking traditional village life.
The current owners moved here in the mid-2010s and during their time have been visited by neighbours who shared their stories of the once church hall from decades gone by – and how the footprint of the current dining room was precisely where one couple enjoyed their first dance on their wedding night. So touched by the anecdote, the owners invited the couple back over in their diamond year to enjoy cake at the dining table and reminisce over the memories of the old hall to mark their 60th wedding anniversary, all these years later. Since their special day, this place has changed beyond recognition but remains a renowned structure to the village residents in its new modern guise.

PANORAMIC VIEWS
Surrounded by the original stone boundary wall that sweeps right around the sides of the house, you’ll pull onto the cobbled driveway ahead of the detached double garage – immediately ticking the box for that all important off-street parking.
The property is accessed either by a side gate through to the courtyard garden, or via the bespoke oak front door which takes you past the stunning full-length window that occupies the whole corner of the house. 
As you step inside the entrance hall, you’ll notice how this unique feature floods the home with light during the day and equally comes into its own after dark thanks to the impressive pendant chandelier hung from the second storey. Marbled Travertine flooring with luxurious underfloor heating offers a warm welcome and continues seamlessly throughout the ground floor as the hallway leads through to a completely open-plan living space to be admired. 

SLEEK SOCIAL HUB
When the architect first designed the plan for conversion to residential use, they did so with the vision that every surrounding tree be visible from a single window – which is why there are a plethora of different shaped and sized windows throughout the ground floor. A fitting quirk and tribute to showcase a beautiful rural village.
Whether you’re standing at the sink or relaxing in the dining area, you’re guaranteed a view from every point. 
In the pursuit of true open-plan living, the current owners decided to renovate the kitchen from top to bottom only two years ago. Part of the work involved removing a glass partition which separated the kitchen from the dining area, which was replaced with a breakfast peninsular. This is the perfect spot to pull up a stool for your morning coffee or to sit with the children with their homework after school. 
In addition to this workspace, there’s a central island complete with storage drawers underneath and an induction hob on top, which helps to create a social atmosphere being in close proximity to the dining area while you prepare your meals. Slick wall-mounted double ovens and hi-spec appliances can be found hidden behind the doors which create a seamless polished effect. 
The carefully curated design with a handleless, high-gloss finish in contrasting midnight and cashmere tones comes with brushed brass accents and light quartz worktops to give an immaculate finish and illuminated with soft LED mood lighting. The space also offers backlit recessed shelving for displaying your favourite ornaments, glassware or cookbooks. This really is a relaxing and ambient space that offers so much more than practicality alone.

OPEN-PLAN PERFECTION 
Beyond the breakfast bar, the new open-plan living space continues to wrap around the central staircase, first with a dedicated dining area then leading through to the lounge.
The modern, electric fire and faux chimney breast defines the lounge which is arranged with comfy sofas surrounding it – looking out to panoramic leafy green views of the country lanes outside through the full-height window.
The design aesthetic here is equally considered, offering a perfect blend of contemporary features and clean lines, punctuated with charming character and texture from the Yorkshire stone wall installation. Bi-fold doors at the other side of the room leads out to the walled courtyard patio which lends itself to summer evenings and is a great extension to the downstairs social space when hosting friends and family. 

GROUND FLOOR HIDEAWAY
Completing the downstairs at the front of the property is the guest bedroom, currently utilised as an enviable home office. Despite being the only room on the ground floor which is separated from the open-plan layout, a large window ensures that it’s amply bright and airy. As you look across the road to the brook nearby, you’ll spot ‘The Plague Well’ marked by a stone, with a plaque detailing the use of the original well dating back to the 1300’s where villagers could cleanse their trading coinage in the fresh running water. Fitted oak panelled wardrobes and a chic fully tiled en-suite wet room complete this versatile private space to a high standard. 

LUXURY MASTER SUITE 
The stunning oak staircase suspended by a bespoke chrome balustrade leads you to the first floor. 
The master bedroom is naturally your first point of call with vibes of a luxury hotel suite. The en-suite bathroom – visible through the glass partition screen – offers both a freestanding bath tub and separate shower enclosure with rainfall shower head, Jack and Jill hand basins and W/C. Fully tiled from floor to ceiling with minimalist spotlights, its design aesthetic is in keeping with the modern luxury displayed so far and continues the open-plan theme of the home. Adding to the illusion of space and light is a mirrored wall concealing a spacious walk-in wardrobe beyond it. A perfect storage area which keeps the dressing room contents hidden from the tranquil space of the bedroom. 

IMMACULATE FAMILY BEDROOMS 
Bedrooms two and three at the opposite end of the house are both spacious doubles – carpeted underfoot and both featuring sizable, fitted wardrobes with signature oak doors. Both are neutrally decorated and immaculately presented. Each space is finished to the same high spec as the rest of the home, so there will be no compromising on space or style for the children.

SOAK IN STYLE 
Shared by the upstairs bedrooms is the lavish family bathroom. Sleek, stone-effect tiles run from floor to ceiling and a four-piece suite is finished with luxury chrome hardware. Both a freestanding modern bathtub with floor-mounted taps and a large double shower enclosure are comfortably positioned in this substantial space that completes the first floor effortlessly.

AREA TO EXPLORE
Home to fewer than 300 residents, the sought-after South Yorkshire village of Burghwallis is rich in history and dates back to British Saxon times.
The charming village is peaceful and rural yet positioned less than a mile from the A1 giving you great access to the rest of Yorkshire as well as the north and south of the country.
A short drive away, you will likely want to try out the recently re-opened Dario’s in Owston or Anne Arms Inn at Sutton which can be both trusted to serve up great family meals. Owston Hall is also home to the local golf course for those who enjoy an afternoon putting. In nearby Campsall, you can visit Doncaster Country Park which is perfect for when you want an alternative place to walk the dogs or take a stroll with the children, in addition to the numerous paths right on your doorstep. Further afield, you are less than three miles from Adwick railway station and therefore can reach the cities of Doncaster, Leeds and Sheffield on a direct train journey with ease.

Brockadale House, Jacksons Lane, Wentbridge

**BROCKADALE HOUSE**

Prepare to be wowed by this stunning and unique family home positioned on the border of North Yorkshire and set within an impressive acre of private grounds.

The picturesque grand facade of Brockadale House originally dates back to 1849, where its humble beginnings started out as a two up, two down lodge within the Stapleton Estate.
Over the last century and a half, it has been sympathetically extended and renovated multiple times to form an outstanding five-bedroom detached house boasting four bathrooms, five reception rooms and plenty of character throughout.

Accessed via a quiet bridleway on the fringe of Brockadale Nature Reserve, those with an active lifestyle and seeking a semi-rural base with room to grow need look no further.

A warm and private welcome

Arrive at the walled entrance of your private estate to electric wrought-iron gates to welcome you in. 
As you drive towards the property, you’ll catch a glimpse of the stunning gardens and luxurious facilities. Off-street parking is aplenty in the form of a carport and space for around a dozen cars plus a single garage and a charging point for electric vehicles.

You’ll find multiple entrances around the perimeter of the house, but the current owners typically use the side entrance next to the outdoor workshop. As you step inside the porch, you’ll find the office and utility room either side of you, with the fabulous breakfast kitchen right ahead. 

Style and substance

Renovated just two years ago, the chic modern farmhouse kitchen is certainly stylish and was designed to provide ultra-convenience. Kitted out with a new fully programmable electric AGA cooker boasting five independently controllable ovens plus a built-in microwave and huge larder fridge, cooking for the family really is a dream.

Immaculately finished in a neutral colour palette with Quartz worktops, chrome accessories, ambient spotlights and a beautiful, curved Belfast sink overlooking the garden. At the opposite end is a breakfast bar providing the perfect spot for a morning coffee or social drinks while dinner is being served with rear access to the patio for entertaining. 

“We’ve made the kitchen a stylish yet practical space as we are both passionate cooks.”

Original features in the heart of the home

The unorthodox heart of the home is the central dining room which is situated next door. Lovingly restored original pine doors and the stunning oak flooring create a warm and cosy atmosphere along with the open-brick fireplace to add to the charm. 

Currently used as a multi-functional family room with ample storage and scope for a comfy sofa, this huge space has versatility to house additional furniture as well as a large dining table. Dual aspect windows ensure that it’s flooded with natural light each and every morning.

“I’ve got a picture in my mind of everything happening in here; the girls growing up round the pine dining table with all the parties and glitter. This was always the main family room for us.”

The character continues

Continue through to the spacious hallway where the traditional front door is positioned, with its double-back staircase opposite and handy wine store feature underneath. 

The rustic oak flooring flows seamlessly from the dining room, through the hall and eventually into the lounge which forms part of the original foundations dating back to the 1800s. Here you’ll immediately be drawn to the beautiful and tall bay window which is still encased with its original stone mullions – best admired from outside. 
This room offers a perfect retreat at all times of year; it’s bright and light in the summer thanks to the dual aspect windows but is equally inviting in winter when the roaring open fire is lit. 

Let the games begin

The snug next door offers an additional space to gather and no less of a charming design featuring a quirky central chimney breast encased in original brickwork housing a multi-fuel fire. This cosy room lends itself perfectly to a library or a games room but, however you style it, it’s a beautiful space steeped in history as part of the original footprint of the home. 

Stunning stonemasonry 

Step through the old church-like arched doorway to enter the final reception room on the ground floor which from the exterior sits beneath the two attractive gable ends. Inside, you can admire the intricate stonemasonry that would have once been the exterior wall. 

The generously sized conservatory offers panoramic views and patio doors out to the garden, making it a fine place to relax or work featuring individual window blinds plus an air conditioning unit, underfloor heating and a decorative cast-iron radiator. 

“It gets lovely and cosy in here and has developed into a wonderful place to work with double doors out to the garden when it’s time for a break.”

19th century doubles

Time to explore the second floor starting with the original bedrooms – now known as bedrooms two and three – that sit at the top of the original staircase. 

Both are spacious doubles, pouring with character and traditional features including cast-iron fireplaces and beautiful high ceilings. The largest of the two comes complete with its own en-suite shower room. 

Find the family bathroom

With ample space for the children featuring a three-piece white suite, heated towel rail and shower over the bath, part of the appeal of this property is the fact that no less than three of the bedrooms have en-suites, so there won’t be long queues here in the morning! 

The sensational master suite

The largest of them all and the highlight of the upstairs is the incredible master bedroom, which spans the whole footprint of the kitchen and dining room directly below. 

This enviable space has a dressing room and a stylish four-piece, modern en-suite bathroom adjoining which is tiled from floor to ceiling and was formerly an extra bedroom. Choose between a soak in the roll-top bath or drench yourself under the walk-in rainfall shower with a heated towel rail and underfloor heating for an added touch of luxury.

“We are going to really miss this room. It’s a great size and I love to lie in the bath with a view out to the garden.”

Private spaces for the whole family

The surprises keep appearing and this magnificent home would certainly make for a great game of hide and seek, with a doorway from the master dressing room that leads to the final pair of bedrooms at the opposite end of the house.

Bedroom four is a light and airy space thanks to the triple aspect windows and has been recently renovated to high spec. This room also boasts shaker-style fitted wardrobes, a handy alcove dressing area and a modern, tiled en suite complete with a large shower enclosure, practical storage cupboards and chrome accessories. 

The well-proportioned fifth bedroom sits opposite and has a unique L-shape that wraps around a second flight of stairs, which would make a lovely nursery or even a dedicated study. 

Touches of convenience

Use the second staircase in the east wing to make your way back down to the start.

On the ground floor just next to the utility room and the porch where you entered is a convenient W/C and shower room tucked away in the corner, designed to be a handy place to rinse off after a dip in the pool. 

Garden grounds

It’s not often that the outdoor living space matches the excitement and variety of the interiors, but the gardens here are like no other where memories are bound to be made. 
The vast lawns are immaculately manicured and surrounding these are a plethora of mature trees, adding not only natural beauty but a feel of seclusion. There is something for everyone here, with multiple zones to please the whole family. 
One area overlooked by tall sycamore trees has been transformed into an allotment, including a high-end Alton Cedar greenhouse. 

Across the road is the hidden gem of a private orchard which spans a third of an acre, brimming with apple and pear trees, even a walnut if you can beat the squirrels, among many more delights.

The patios surrounding the kitchen and leading out from the conservatory offer the perfect seating areas for relaxing or hosting a BBQ where guests can naturally spill out from the living areas and enjoy the views. Some of the lawns closer to the property are fenced with a safe boundary, making it ideal for pets or young children to roam freely. 

Finally, for the active and fun seekers, the multi-weather tennis court and the cherry on top – a ten-metre heated swimming pool which has provided countless summers of entertainment. Standing by the swimming pool are two wooden chalet summer houses that provide additional living space. Currently they are used for storage and a dedicated gym area, however equally as handy for work or play depending on your family dynamics. 

“We’d bought the house before we’d even walked in. It had massive curb appeal and when we walked in we could see through what was there and see all the potential.”

Area to explore

A final quirk to this property is that it is the first house in North Yorkshire and one of eight exclusive, individually named homes in Wentbridge located on the east side of the A1.

Those who are familiar with the area will be aware of what a sought-after location Wentbridge is. The surrounding nature and quaint architecture is beautiful, boasting one of Europe’s largest viaducts and from here you’ll have your own private entrance into Brockadale Woods for your weekend walks. You can stroll into the heart of the village to enjoy Wentbridge House Hotel as well as the Blue Bell pub and Blue Smoke Artisan Pizza restaurant for an evening meal.

You’re also only a minute from the A1 and so easily accessible from the major motorway network. Head north or south with ease and connect onto the M62 if commuting into Leeds, Manchester or Hull. Your nearest town is Pontefract for all your amenities and a choice of both primary and secondary schools, plus you’re also in the catchment area for Kirk Smeaton. For those looking to head into London, the commute can be achieved door to door in just over two hours with the use of Doncaster railway station.

Burntwood Hall Farm, Brierley

**BURNTWOOD HALL FARM**

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
Sitting upon a vast 10 acres of land that was originally part of an 18th century manor house is Burntwood Hall Farm – coming to market for the first time in its history.
This beautiful Yorkshire stone farmhouse – situated on the former farmland of the locally renowned Burntwood Hall itself – was lovingly built by the current owners after they purchased the plot back in 1981. But now is the time for new owners to take on this idyllic country lifestyle which was created from scratch more than four decades ago.
Previously a working farm, what you see is a carefully curated lifestyle property which is in keeping with its roots and yet has been immaculately maintained to ensure the magnificent offering it is today.

The spacious, four-bedroom, detached family home can be accessed via your own private driveway and electric gates and is set amongst beautifully manicured gardens and arable farmland. This fabulous home and land surrounding it will appeal to those seeking country living with potential for additional projects, including the scope to create an equestrian centre from the vast barns and paddocks plus two stone outbuildings complete with planning permission for conversion to habitable dwellings.
The overriding appeal of Burntwood Hall Farm can be spotted immediately with kerb appeal at every corner – and looking ahead to what could be created in the future will only add to your excitement.

WELCOME TO THE COUNTRYSIDE
As you walk down the Yorkshire stone pathway you will be greeted by the delightful gardens to all sides. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the seismic trees – two copper beech and another beech – which stand proud in all their glory.
Once you enter the home, your first calling point behind a stone-built entrance porch is the bright and welcoming hallway. This sits in the centre of the home meaning all rooms are accessible from here, including the useful and pristinely tiled W/C.

TASTE OF RURAL LIFE
The farmhouse kitchen is truly the heart of this home. It comes complete with a dining breakfast bar and a wide panoramic window overlooking the field views of Burntwood Park.
You can’t help your gaze wandering over into the great outdoors as the sun rises and falls each day from here. The traditional medium oak kitchen units housing the main appliances are offset with a marble-effect worktop and country cottage style tiles.
Through an internal door, there’s additional workspace in the utility room which is a convenient home for the laundry.

FAMILY GATHERINGS
Leaving the kitchen and heading into the hallway, you’ll immediately reach the formal dining room. In keeping with the style and traditional décor throughout the downstairs, the ornamental ceiling rose, coving and dado rail wrap the room in elegance, finished with a marble fireplace and electric fire at the heart. Cosy – yet perfectly presented – this room can be set aside as a dedicated hosting and dining space for special occasions when the family comes together.

RELAX AND UNWIND
Spanning almost half of the ground floor footprint is the largest room in the home – the lounge. Abundant in size at 24ft long, the space mirrors the dining room in features with a decorative ceiling rose, coving and dado rail along with a flame effect electric fire. This is the perfect space to unwind after a long day or to host friends and family in a comfortable setting. The character doesn’t stop there thanks to the addition of the conservatory two decades ago which offers additional light and seating space through a set of french doors.
With a pitched tiled roof, a practical tiled floor plus the home’s signature exterior Yorkshire stone wall as a backdrop to this perfect sun trap, it’s an ideal spot to read a book and enjoy the view of the garden and beyond.

ROOMS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Head up the central staircase to the gallery landing where you’ll be greeted with the family bathroom. Conveniently set in the middle of the four bedrooms, a beautifully presented traditional suite featuring a showstopper slipper bathtub offers plenty of space to soak away the stresses of the day. A large separate shower cubicle, traditional WC and hand basin plus stylish column radiator and the added luxury of underfloor heating finishes the room to a high standard.

The sleeping quarters are divided into almost equal sized rooms, all of which comfortably house a double bed. Some include fitted wardrobes for neat and practical storage space and all carry the neutral traditional theme throughout. A growing family will appreciate the generous spaces on offer, without the usual compromise of a smaller ‘box room’.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Beyond the property’s formal garden is an open-field spanning seven acres. This was formerly used by the current owners for arable farming, but is also the perfect space for equestrian lovers to set up their dream paddock.

To the front of the property, a big project could await the new owners with two large barns – currently used to store corn – ideal for converting into high-spec stables. These overlook a further paddock bordered by classic Yorkshire stone walls. Over the years, this has been used to keep ponies and sheep for the grandchildren but could easily be utilised for recreational activities or family parties.

For buyers seeking development opportunities, the jewel in the crown here are two picturesque stone farmhouse outbuildings that have planning permission in place to convert into formal dwellings. Just imagine the sheer potential here of turning this phenomenal plot into a place for the extended family to live together surrounded by the rural delights and privacy on offer. Each with as large a footprint as the main house itself, the scope is endless.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Potentially the most eye-catching features will be the stunning gardens of Burntwood Hall Farm. Immaculately maintained lawns, perfectly preened hedges and beautiful flower beds have been lovingly tended to over the years. Overlooking the priceless rural view at the rear stands a unique stone summerhouse structure dating back to 1914 which was formerly part of Burntwood Hall. The circular bench seating and sunken topiary beds make an idyllic place to relax on a summer’s day. Equally appealing to the green-fingered is a mature vegetable patch, previously used for growing beetroot, carrots and cabbage.
Before you set off to explore the rest of the land, you’ll pass the detached double stone garage and boiler room housing the oil tank leading on to the pristine, stone-cobbled driveway and vast tarmac yard.

AREA TO EXPLORE
Situated in Brierley Village on the through road between Hemsworth and Great Houghton, you of course will enjoy all the perks of a peaceful rural location yet are definitely not cut off from an abundance of local amenities.
Closest to your doorstep is the popular Burntwood Court Hotel – a locally renowned wedding venue and leisure facility featuring a family restaurant, spa and fitness centre. 
Whether it’s for your morning workout or to enjoy evening drinks with friends, this is bound to become a regular haunt for you and your family to enjoy. 
The nearest large supermarket is Tesco Superstore located just a couple of miles away in Hemsworth which as a busy town centre will fulfil most of your daily needs with small cafes, a post office, a local florist as well as barber shops and hair salons ready to visit. 
For a larger town and a greater choice of shops and restaurants, you’ll probably find yourself heading into Barnsley which is just eight miles from your door. If you prefer to travel by train, your nearest station is Thurnscoe which will take you directly into the cities of either Leeds or Sheffield. Thinking of the family, you’re also well located to take advantage of various school catchment areas with both primary and secondary schools nearby.

Holme Lane Farm, Holme Lane, Holme

**HOLME LANE FARM**

HOLME SWEET HOLME

At Holme Lane Farm you’ll find a magnificent property standing before you, holding a 220-year history, which has been given a whole new lease of life. 

The current owners have overseen quite a passion project carrying out major renovations to create an incredible family home. This has literally been years in the making and has involved meticulously keeping the heritage at the heart of the design. 

This completely unique and whimsical farmhouse is a tale of two halves comprising not just one home but two – the original five-bedroom farmhouse and a three bedroom-annexe barn conversion. Alongside the luxury living areas, you’ll also have an expansive stable block, outbuildings complete with planning permission and almost 10 acres of outdoor space to enjoy. 

Nestled within the rural hamlet of Holme, families seeking a private retreat, an abundance of character and period features need look no further. 

A SPECTACULAR WELCOME 

The entrance to the property is situated beyond an attractive walled boundary and through the electric gates you’ll arrive onto the sweeping courtyard which has ample parking for up to half a dozen vehicles. 

Surrounding you are the three beautiful limestone buildings that make up the entirety of the residence. To your left are the original barns, straight ahead is the main house and to the right stands the annexe – each oozing in kerb appeal with their own individual quirks. 

Whilst retaining the original character has been front of mind during each renovation stage, the property benefits from brand new fixtures for practicality including UPVC Georgian style windows, full CCTV system and thermal solar & PV system to truly futureproof the house for years to come.

As you enter via the double doorway on the patio, a characterful welcome awaits as you step into a grand and spacious reception room – a part of the house which was rebuilt onto the original foundations to keep the same footprint. This space is perfect for welcoming guests and equally handy for socialising.

FARMHOUSE CHARM 

Beyond the hallway and central staircase, you’ll find the picture-perfect farmhouse kitchen. 

Solid oak units painted in sage green and cream are topped with granite worktops which complement the terracotta floor tiles and classic wooden beam running through the centre of the ceiling. Food preparation is a dream thanks to the luxury of a programmable AGA taking centre stage in the hearth. 

Storage space is also aplenty in here with a walk-in pantry and utility room tucked behind internal doors.

Dresser-style wall units add to the charming aesthetic and of course no farmhouse kitchen would be complete without a Belfast sink. With a central island and butcher’s block to perch around, as well as space for a breakfast table, this is the perfect place for the family to gather over a morning coffee. 

ECCENTRIC ELEGANCE 

Continuing with tradition yet with added drama is the stunning formal dining room next door. 

A real showstopper which is guaranteed to wow – from the striking ceiling beams to the rustic original doors and weathered floorboards underfoot. 

The wood-burning stove comes into its own in winter and especially at Christmas when spirits are high and hosting is made easy with ample space for an oversized table. 

Despite the dark features, dual-aspect windows allow the right amount of light in to create the perfect ambience. 

From here, you can also take the original cottage stairs up to the first floor which were retained for extra character and interest. 

COSY UP SIDE BY SIDE 

On the opposite side of the staircase on the ground floor are the adjoining reception rooms which share a central log burner that heats two rooms in one. 

The larger half is the lounge – a traditional family sitting room complete with high ceilings and picture rail detail. Next door is the snug which is a minimalistic and peaceful hideaway – perfect to read a book or enjoy an evening nightcap. 

Both have soft carpet underfoot and enjoy views out to the stunning garden. 

ROOM WITH A VIEW 

Completing the ground floor of the main house is the magnificent garden room with its impressive apex roof and skylights. Added recently and connecting the home to the farm stable buildings, the unique shape lends itself to hosting and lounging all-year round. 

With the luxury of underfloor heating and bi-fold doors across two walls, the space is flooded with natural daylight and allows easy access straight out onto the rear patio and garden to enjoy outdoor living. 

APEX LANDING 

When the current owners rebuilt the entrance reception room, they purposefully added in a first-floor level within the apex of the roof to accommodate a landing and a store room. 

The landing – illuminated with skylights and featuring traditional style beams as a nod to the property’s heritage – ensures privacy and practicality to access each bedroom without having to pass through from room to room. 

Across the staircase you’ll also see a gallery landing space offering a peaceful view out to the garden which is accessible via the master and guest bedroom. 

MODERN MEETS TRADITIONAL 

The master suite is an ample size complete with original panelled doors leading out and to the en suite which has been completely modernised with traditional style touches. 

Featuring a large walk-in shower with minimalistic chrome fittings, W/C, chic basin topped vanity unit and traditional column radiator. 

TIMELESS LUXURY 

The beautiful family bathroom is a stunning example of a modern classic. 

Timeless Victorian styling oozes throughout from the freestanding slipper bathtub with brass telephone taps, complementary traditional wash basin and W/C with high-level cistern. 

The room is perfectly finished with the detail of the original fireplace within the irregular chimney breast, which is one of three on this floor. 

BE OUR GUEST 

Across the gallery landing, the guest bedroom is another generous double and large enough to rival the master – along with its own en suite.

A slick and contemporary wood-panelled design features a fitted bath with overhead shower, modern square hand basin and W/C to ensure your guests feel right at home with comfort and privacy. 

Bedroom five is also just next door – a modest room with signature tall ceilings as standard and enviable field views.

DOUBLES AS STANDARD 

The final two double bedrooms to conclude the accommodation on this floor stand side by side above the dining room.

Bedroom three has a pretty, shabby chic aesthetic with white-washed doors and comes complete with a final en suite. 

The shower room has been completed to a similar high standard with a slick tiled enclosure, modern wash basin and W/C.

A WHOLE NEW HOME 

When you’re taking in the abundance of quirks from every corner of the property as you make your way downstairs, rest assured there’s more to see -  in the form of a spacious two bedroom annexe barn conversion. 

Accessed either via the main house from the dining room, or via its own private entrance door from the side courtyard leading to the tiled hallway and separate W/C, this stylish space would be perfect for the wider family to live on site, or even to host holiday guests. 

Recently renovated from top to bottom, the ground floor boasts multiple picture windows to maximise light and space. 

A modern shaker-style cottage kitchen has been completed to a high standard with integrated appliances and exposed brick details to continue the characterful charm we’ve seen so much of with the benefit of a breakfast bar and additional dining area.

Next door is a bright and spacious lounge with an open staircase and finally the master bedroom complete with a contemporary marble en-suite shower room and generous walk-in wardrobe. 

Within the apex of the roof upstairs boasting beamed vaulted ceilings is a beautiful double bedroom, with its own private bathroom for the ultimate luxury and a playroom or store with W/C.

INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPE 

Rivalling the ample interior footprint, the outdoor space does not come in short supply. 

Split into multiple zones, the main garden is accessed from the rear bi-fold doors leading out from the farmhouse and here you’ll find immaculately kept lawns punctuated with mature trees and topiary hedges, set around a lake full of golden carp. 

Access and parking will never be an issue thanks to the separate circular driveway leading to a detached triple garage with two electric roller doors, away from the main courtyard.

Opposite to the annexe are a series of attractive barn outbuildings ripe for conversion currently used as stores, but a quirky space that would make a perfect home office or an additional living area. Rest assured, planning permission is already in place meaning work can commence immediately if you wish.

Within your approx. 10 acres of private land beyond this, an equestrian lover’s paradise awaits complete with two paddocks, menage, tack room and an impressive block of seven Bradmore stables.

AREA TO EXPLORE

The secluded hamlet of Holme is likely to be a real hit with those seeking a slower pace and rural lifestyle compared to the more vibrant local towns that are within easy reach. 

With only five homes under your postal code, you really will be able to relax in peace and privacy. Located in South Yorkshire and only a few miles from the North Yorkshire border, you are however not cut off from the amenities you’ll need for the family. The nearest supermarket is accessed in less than a 5 minutes drive in the form of a large Asda while Doncaster is also just a short journey away offering an abundance of high-street shops. 

Parents will be delighted to find a range of outstanding Ofsted-rated primary and secondary schools within the DN5 area. For a lovely meal you may also want to try out the recently re-opened Dario’s Italian or Owston Hall which is also home to the local golf course for those who enjoy an afternoon putting. 

For travel to work, Adwick-le-Street railway station is only a few minutes from your door to allow easy commuting into Leeds and Sheffield, while the A1 is also on hand for those needing to head north or south by car.

Morning Field View & Cottage, Thorpe Audlin, Pontefract

**MORNING FIELD VIEW & COTTAGE**
BEYOND COMPARE
Every once in a while something comes onto the market which quite simply blows everyone away – and this luxurious duo of properties in the beautiful rural village of Thorpe Audlin most certainly falls into this category.

Morning Field View & Cottage offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the trappings of a magnificent lifestyle which will be the envy of all around you.
As you approach up the long driveway, you’ll fall in love with the idea of making this cluster of properties and abundance of land your own.
Sitting in picturesque countryside and boasting approximately 2.5 acres of land in all, the properties include a six-bedroom rural cottage and modern three-bedroom bungalow. The entire package is waiting for you to make your forever memories.

MORNING FIELD VIEW

Converted less than a decade ago, the bungalow named Morning Field View is the perfect addition to the cottage it sits proudly beside.
This spacious three-bedroom bungalow offers a modern and fully accessible space convenient for disabled living. 

It’s absolutely ideal for family or guests who want to stay close by while still enjoying the benefits of their own space away from the hustle and bustle of the main home. Equally, there’s an opportunity to use this accommodation as a luxurious independent guest home or to rent out as a holiday retreat for people visiting the local area.

STEP INSIDE
This unique, quirky property offers immaculate curb appeal from the outside in. Walk through a broad, glass-panelled archway door where an expansive hallway awaits. You have immediate easy access to the cloak room and study, which has plenty of room for a large desk and numerous storage shelves to make remote home working a breeze. 

With its stylish open design, you’ll not be surprised to know that this property is perfect for a party, featuring an inbuilt LED colour-changing light box on the wall that really creates the perfect atmosphere.

LIGHT & OPEN LIVING
Walk through the beautiful oak double doors to a modern, open-plan living space. Whether you decide to play chef, enjoy your daily dining or just sit and relax, you’ll be drenched in daylight in a glorious living space complete with four skylights overhead and two sets of tall arch windows.

BRIGHT & AIRY
The neutral light décor adds to this airy feel and the tiled floor benefits from underfloor heating, ensuring added comfort is achieved throughout. 
The u-shaped kitchen is tucked away in the corner and comes complete with a large built-in fridge, electric induction hob and a versatile breakfast bar.
The countryside views from the patio doors leading out to the raised flagged area are unbeatable.
The owners have done a marvellous job in creating an open-plan room which fulfils all your needs without compromising on style or functionality.
A separate utility room stores the washing machine, tumble dryer and additional cupboards to ensure the living space never feels cluttered.

SLEEP AND SOAK 
All three double bedrooms are a fantastic size and neutrally decorated with cosy Berber style carpets. 
The second bedroom benefits from a large walk-in wardrobe, while the master comes complete with an en-suite wet room which has been recently upgraded in full. Fully tiled with an easily accessible shower - this is a fantastic addition, particularly for any guest with mobility issues. 
The family bathroom is tastefully decorated with a power shower over the bath tub.

MORNING FIELD COTTAGE

STEP INSIDE 
Morning Field Cottage was converted around the year 2000 from the cattery family business to take shape as it stands today – a cosy six-bedroom home with massive potential. 
You’ll notice from the floorplan that unusually there are two separate kitchens – one at each end of the ground floor – meaning that if desired, the property could be converted into two homes in their own right.

360 VIEWS
There are six rooms on the ground floor in total and what is particularly striking about them is that they all benefit from dual-aspect windows; which means you’ll be spoiled by the surrounding sights of beautiful countryside during every spare moment. 
Two spacious reception rooms are each served by wooden staircases, with space for you to create some unique sitting areas. 
One of them has a light wooden floor and is set up with a dining table, while the other has orange-brick tiled flooring. 
A large ground floor sitting room is a highlight of the home, complete with wooden flooring and a stone-effect fireplace to create a cosy ambience for those cold winter nights.

SIT AND ENJOY 
The top floor of the cottage has a long sweeping hallway stretching the length of the entire house. 
The owners have again taken the opportunity to ensure the views are not wasted building a double seat, providing a great vantage point for the natural outside beauty. The floor has seven rooms in total with a double bedroom at each end, one of which offers an en-suite. 
In between, there’s an upstairs sitting room, two further bedrooms with one set up with bunkbeds for the younger generation to enjoy, an office space and family bathroom. There’s a real mix of spaces here, offering everything you need. 
Attached to the far end of the cottage is a 70-foot long barn which gives this duo of rural properties a fine space for extensive storage. Between the barn and the kitchen is a large utility space complete with prep area, bathroom, shower room and WC. This creates the feeling of a segregated outbuilding, meaning if you choose to use the vast land for any animals you can use these areas to keep this contained and away from the homely cottage.

OUTSTANDING POTENTIAL 
Purchasers could consider the opportunity if they wish to run a holiday home business on site and use the buildings to rent out on short term lets, or equally for large extended families to live in close proximity. To the front of the cottage is an immaculately kept round lawn area. 
This hosts a pretty pergola and a Christmas tree all year round, which is ready to twinkle and shine when the festive season sets in. This grassed area is surrounded by a circular driveway which acts as a really nice feature for you and your visitors to easily arrive or vacate without the hassle of moving vehicles.

READY FOR YOUR OWN STAMP
Countryside character is in abundance here, with the décor generally very neutral and classic throughout.

EXPLORE THE AREA
Set in the picturesque hamlet of Thorpe Audlin, this exclusive set of properties offer a dreamy countryside style of living.
Nestling in beautiful surroundings, its grounds border yet even more sweeping fields to give you so much peace and quiet you’ll be able to float away into your own little world. 
Despite this idyllic setup, you are still situated within a few miles of links to major motorways such as the A1 and M62. 
As a result, this private home gives you all the perks that come from remote living while still boasting great transport links for an easy commute or school run. Within Thorpe Audlin itself, the go-to pub is the Fox & Hounds. This offers a warm and relaxing dining experience with many British pub classics as well as more creative seasonal specials. 
The nearby town of Pontefract is within close distance. Here you will be greeted with an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, supermarkets and attractions. 
If you’re looking for family days out, 18th century manor house Nostell Priory is close by and the scenic area of Brockadale Nature Reserve is right on your doorstep too, offering a wealth of beautiful walks and wildlife habitats. Slightly further afield, culture lovers will be drawn to The Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the delights of The Hepworth Gallery.

Selby Road, Wistow

**ROSEDALE**

IN KEEPING WITH TRADITION
Just a little under a century old, Rosedale is a stylish and substantial five-bedroom family home that has been sympathetically renovated, whilst retaining its character and heritage.
Dating back to 1937, the current owners have resided here for more than two decades and in the last 10 years have realised their vision to extend out to the side and rear to completely transform the living space throughout.
Immaculately presented and thoughtfully designed, each room promises a large footprint, high ceilings and attention to detail with a cohesive aesthetic throughout. Modern in specification yet traditional in style, this impressive family abode – complete with its rural outlook, landscaped exteriors and attractive North Yorkshire village location – is quite the catch.

A WARM WELCOME
The stunning exterior and charm of Rosedale is evident as soon as you pull through the farmhouse style gates onto the sweeping driveway, encased by a traditional picket fence to add to the curb appeal.
Mature blossom trees along the boundary hedge add privacy and immaculate lawns sprawl out in front of the attractive red brick-build, accumulating in a very warm welcome.
Before you arrive at the front door, a single garage and an electric charging point sits to your right, and you’ll notice ample space for that all important off-street parking.
Inside, the bright and airy dual aspect entrance hallway sets the tone for the home ahead. Holding space for free-standing furniture and its own seating area, it’s a beautiful room in its own right. Luxury engineered wooden flooring spans from front to back, flowing into the immediate ground floor reception rooms with the stairs running up the centre.

ELEVATED EXTENSION 
A superb extension to the rear of the house has created a jaw-dropping space for the kitchen which sits beneath the apex of an orangery-style roof. 
Daylight floods through the skylights during all seasons and you’ll enjoy views out to the garden through the French doors. Neutral and classic cream shaker-style units topped with oak wooden worktops, a traditional Belfast sink and feature blue Rangemaster cooker epitomise the country farmhouse feel.
The vision was to create a living kitchen space, and we’d agree this has been executed to perfection. A dedicated soft seating area adds a social informality to the room, and the table at the centre for family dining, solidifies this as the heart of the home. Aside from the main event, a sizable and separate pantry adds another dimension to the storage and the utility room housing the laundry area allows the chores to remain out of sight. A convenient W/C tucked away off the rear entrance completes this versatile and vast space.

STYLISH SITTING ROOM
Understandably you’ll struggle to prise yourself away from the kitchen, but the adjoining sitting room is quite spectacular. 
Bright and spacious is a running theme across the makeup of the house, and this room is no exception. French doors that lead out to the front lawn, paired with the additional side windows and enviable high ceilings, make this a beautiful space to relax come day or night. 
The understated and simplistic decor oozes class and will make it incredibly easy for the new owners to inject their own personality onto the walls surrounding the feature log-burning stove. The chevron brickwork upon the hearth is a sentimental feature of the property, repurposed from the original garage structure which stood in these foundations before the renovation. 

ORIGINAL FOUNDATIONS 
The original lounge holds even more history than its newer and larger sister sitting room. 
Situated front and centre of the property, as you enter you’ll step onto the beautifully aged original wooden floorboards dating back to the 1930s.
The wide bay window and wood burning cast-iron stove make this the perfect place to snuggle up in front of the fire on a cosy winter evening.

FORMAL FAMILY DINING 
The final of the ground floor reception rooms and the only area segregated to this side of the house past the stairs is the formal dining room. 
Its unique position means the dining space is currently reserved for special occasions such as Christmas Day as well as for hosting dinner parties where friends can all gather round the table. Of course, the footprint of the room is versatile and could be transformed into a luxury home office or a children’s playroom but, regardless of its function, the character and style will remain thanks to the traditional coal fireplace adorned with Victorian tiles. 

SETTING THE STANDARD 
Ready to greet you at the top of the stairs is the chic family bathroom, which in keeping with the rest of the home has been sympathetically renovated to a luxurious standard while retaining the charm of the property’s era.
Your eyes will be immediately drawn to the chandelier overhead which hangs from the vaulted ceiling feature which marks the extended part of the room – occupied by the traditional low-level W/C, Victorian-style wash basin and free-standing roll top bath. Occupying the original footprint of the room is a large walk-in shower defined with stylish metro tiles inside the glass screen. 

A STUNNING SUITE
It’s fair to say that this is the pinnacle of the home’s sizable five bedrooms, and a fine example of a master suite. 
Situated at the far end of the hallway above the sitting room for ultimate privacy, you’ll be astonished at the vast amount of space in here. The curved bay window adds to the airiness of the room which features interesting alcoves for furniture placement, as well as a discreet built-in closet area for those with an ample wardrobe to house. 
The en-suite bathroom is magnificent; featuring a quirky claret slipper bathtub complete with floor standing taps, dramatic high-level cistern W/C and a signature Victorian-style wash basin in keeping with the rest of the washrooms.

ROOM WITH A VIEW 
Bedroom two, which sits across the hallway from the master, comes complete with a desirable rural outlook to the green fields beyond via the Juliet balcony. This ample-sized double which would make a fabulous guest bedroom also has an en-suite shower room attached, mirroring the main family bathroom’s design and decor.

FORMER MASTER 
Residing in the original quarters and at the opposite end of the house is bedroom three, which was once the former master. 
Carpeted underfoot as with the rest of the sleeping quarters, this generously sized space would easily hold a king size bed plus free-standing furniture, thanks to its convenient proportions.

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY BEDROOMS 
Two more excellently sized double bedrooms share the family bathroom and complete the first floor to a high standard. 
These beautifully kept spaces each have their own individual panelling detail to the walls, which add interest and character to the cohesive and faultless traditional aesthetic that flows throughout the house.

IMMACULATE EXTERIOR 
To conclude the plot, head out into the rear garden via the kitchen French doors or the rear hall access by the pantry and W/C. 
In contrast to the front garden on show when arriving, this private section of the exterior wraps around two sides of the property and offers a peaceful, multifunctional retreat. 
The current owners have extended the garden as well as the house, after purchasing land from the neighbouring farmer. In the mornings, you’re now likely to be greeted by the resident ponies over the back fence – and with countryside views as far as you can see, it really feels like you’re living the good life. Two separate attractive patio areas found along the walled boundary provide practical seating area for hosting BBQs or just relaxing in the sunshine under the pagoda. Additional features of interest include a large summer house and a smaller shed for storage, a vegetable allotment which was part of a lockdown project, and pretty picket fencing dividing areas of lawns to make it safe for the children or pets to play. 

AREA TO EXPLORE
Situated just a few miles from the North Yorkshire market town of Selby, there’s a quaint and quintessential village feel about Wistow.
It all starts at the picturesque village green which sits at the centre of the community. Despite being home to only around 1,000 villagers, amenities are not far from reach, thanks to the Black Swan pub which not only serves traditional, high-quality food but is connected to the convenient village shop. Across the road, you’ll also find the Fat Fryer fish and chip shop for a hearty takeaway dinner. 
Wistow primary school comes highly rated and once the children are ready for high school, a free bus service runs direct to Selby High School or Barlby Academy. The village also has two churches and the Jubilee Hall which is often used to host small functions and parties. A treat could be in store with a children’s playground and tennis courts available on site.
With all this right on your doorstep, you’re in the perfect position to simply enjoy a quiet weekend without venturing too far from home. However, Cawood is a little over a mile away where you’ll find three pubs. The locally renowned Rythre Arms steakhouse is just a three-mile drive too. 
Selby is the closest town for supermarkets and high-street stores while the beautiful historical city of York is only 20 minutes away by car. From here, you can also jump on the train directly to Leeds or London. It really is little wonder why so many set up home here in Wistow – and stay for life.
