NO UPWARD CHAIN A truly unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented Grade II Listed 17th Century stone house set within approximately 5.93 acres, offering superb equestrian facilities, and a rich blend of period character and modern comforts.
Situated in the sought-after conservation area of High Ackworth, this historic home features THREE RECEPTION ROOMS and FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS, to include a principal suite with a four-piece en suite and dressing room, as well as a four-piece family bathroom. The dining kitchen is enhanced by a gas fired AGA, alongside a separate Smeg range cooker. Original features have been thoughtfully preserved, complemented by tasteful upgrades throughout.
Outside, the property benefits from a large, detached double garage, and generous, mature landscaped gardens stocked with rare trees, shrubs and roses. Beyond lies a high quality equestrian set-up, including a secure yard with four modern stables, feed/tack room, hardstanding for horseboxes and trailers, and a 60m x 20m all-weather dressage arena complete with a sprinkler irrigation system.
The approximately 4.75 acre paddock is enclosed and equipped with automatic water troughs, and the property retains planning permission for equestrian business use, making it an ideal prospect for those seeking residential and commercial potential. The paddock is boarded on its western side by the delightful Went Beck, which attracts wildfowl including herons and mallards.
Located within easy reach of major transport links, and just one kilometre from local amenities to include a medical centre, pharmacy, dentist, schools (including the renowned Ackworth Quaker School), supermarkets, and many dining pubs, Priory Cottage offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
Situated in the tranquil Went Valley, High Ackworth blends heritage-village charm with a horse-first lifestyle. Georgian stone houses ring the medieval market cross, whilst the independent Quaker-founded Ackworth School draws a professional, international community that keeps the delis, pilates studio and farmers’ market humming. Fast road links to the A1(M) and M62 put Leeds, York and Sheffield inside a 45-minute commute, whilst preserving that coveted “country-lane” peace.
For equestrians, the village punches well above its weight. A lattice of definitive bridleways run through and around the village. Pick up the Dando Way for woodland canters, or join the Trans-Pennine Trail for an all-day hack.
