5 Bed Detached House, Refurb/BRRR, Pontefract, WF9 1HN £700,000

A contrast of contemporary and tradition

The dual-aspect breakfast kitchen packs a punch, compromising striking red and white gloss units finished with dark quartz worktops and polished chrome accessories against a ceramic tiled floor for an ultra-modern look. 
The majority of the appliances are integrated, offering a modern contrast and clean lines to some traditional features including the statement Rangemaster oven and a second Belfast sink overlooking the garden. 
Beneath the window at the far side of the room is space for a large dining table for the family to gather over breakfast or dinner.

Open-plan living 

The open-plan lounge is a truly impressive space that soaks up every inch of natural light from the sunroom next door and the wide patio doors offering side access to the garden. 
A cast iron, multi-fuel log burner set within a brick fireplace upon a Yorkshire Stone hearth creates a warm focal point to the room, with rustic engineered oak flooring seamlessly connecting the garden room zone beyond the double archway.

Soak up the view 

The extended garden room adds an extra dimension to the living area – an alternative zone beneath the velux skylights – but with all the benefits and illusion of an open-plan layout. 
Concertina bi-fold doors stretch the width of the room boasting panoramic views of the garden that spans over an acre. The outlook is stunning all year round but especially comes alive in the spring when the sun is beaming and the doors are flung open to the decking. 

Old village surgery

The former doctor’s waiting room is where the adults enjoy a little downtime – whether that’s with a book from the library shelving,or gathered with friends at the grand piano for after-dinner entertainment. 
Wrapped in classic tongue and groove panelling with ambient spotlights across the ceiling, this space is as versatile as you want it to be either for formal dining, work or play. 
Two adjoining offices that were once the GP’s appointment rooms are tucked away at the rear with views out to the garden – making remote working or home studying a breeze. 

Vast master 

The master suite sits above the dining room and boasts the same expansive floorplan. 
A super king-sized bed still leaves ample space for freestanding furniture, but storage space is plentiful thanks to the addition of built-in bespoke oak wardrobes and cupboards beneath the two dormer windows. 
Behind the internal corner door, you’ll find a tiled en-suite shower room with traditional white WC, floor standing wash basin and brass accessories. 

Dual aspect doubles 

Three further large double bedrooms are situated in the remaining corners of the house – all benefiting from dual-aspect windows for maximum natural light. 
Each space has its own character and personality – some with fitted furniture and shelving, but all neutrally decorated and finished with wooden flooring – ready for the next family to inject their personalities onto the walls. Bedroom five is a comfortable single. Well suited to a nursery or children’s room with soft carpet underfoot. 
To complete the first-floor accommodation, you’ll find the family bathroom at the top of the stairs. With some scope for modernisation, you’ll find everything you need and more from the traditional three-piece white suite featuring a jet spa corner bath with overhead shower.

Glorious Garden

Aside from the generous living spaces, a huge appeal of this property is the enormous plot of land it stands on – spanning 1.25 acres. 
Deceivingly stretching lawns lay predominantly at the rear of the property, with an additional front garden at the other side of the driveway. 
Mature silver birch, weeping willows and fruit trees are scattered around the borders, adding interest to the landscape and providing privacy from the neighbouring houses. 

Multiple generations have enjoyed the outdoor space here, which is ideal for a growing family and for those looking for opportunities to host. The patio and decking from the garden room was added post-pandemic to make the most of the incredible al-fresco lifestyle – with room for a hot tub, BBQ kitchen and children’s play equipment - this really is a blank canvas to evolve with you over the years.
