125a Denby Dale Road, Wakefield, WF2 8EB

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached late Edwardian style villa, discreetly positioned within stunning, mature south-facing grounds and offered to the market for the first time in generations, having remained in the same family ownership for many years.

Set back from Denby Dale Road behind traditional brick boundary walls, this highly individual home enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and seclusion, creating an almost country-house atmosphere despite its highly convenient Wakefield setting. Dating from the early 20th century, the property displays all the hallmarks of its era, with red brick elevations, tall chimneys, steeply pitched roofs and striking bay windows, combining to give the house a commanding yet elegant presence.

Now requiring comprehensive modernisation, the property nonetheless retains exceptional proportions, original features and an ideal layout for a sympathetic restoration. Extending to approximately 1,670 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over two generous floors and offers enormous scope to reinstate the grandeur and character for which houses of this period are so admired.

The ground floor begins with an outstanding and welcoming hallway, where a grand sweeping staircase, beautiful wood panelling, hidden storage and secondary external access instantly transport you back to the home’s Edwardian origins. The formal dining room is arguably the highlight of the house, featuring parquet flooring, impressive ceiling height, ornate cornicing and a breathtaking bay window overlooking the gardens, an exceptional space for entertaining.

The lounge is equally impressive, bathed in natural light and showcasing attractive ceiling beams, with sliding doors opening directly onto the gardens and connecting seamlessly back through to the dining room and hallway. A double aspect kitchen provides excellent space for reconfiguration and offers access to a walk-in pantry, alongside a practical downstairs shower room with WC.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom mirrors the scale and elegance of the reception rooms below, again benefitting from a large bay window and extensive built-in storage. Bedroom two is another generously proportioned double and includes a charming eaves storage area with a unique interconnecting crawl space, a much-loved feature remembered fondly by the current owner from childhood. The third bedroom is well sized and features a walk-in dressing room, which would lend itself effortlessly to the creation of an en suite. A large family bathroom completes the accommodation, comfortably accommodating both a separate bath and shower.
