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.
