A stunning family home tucked away in this very special location as featured on Escape to the Country, with a wonderful feeling of rural seclusion yet ready access to the surrounding business centres. This characterful old farm house boasts many original single glazed sash windows as well as an oil fired central heating system to create a lovely homely atmosphere.

The everyday entrance to the house is to the rear, from the driveway, where a small porchway leads through into the well proportioned dining kitchen. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of modern units incorporating a ceramic hob unit in addition to the oil fired Aga. An island unit provides a nice focal point and leads through into the adjoining dining area. There is a formal dining hall in addition, with a bay window taking full advantage of the southerly views over the gardens. The main living room also has a splay bay window enjoying similar views as well as a wood burning stove and doors through an Amdega conservatory that again takes full advantage of the southerly aspect. Off the conservatory is a barn style room currently used as a music studio but suitable for a variety of uses including the sought after work-from-home space. To the first floor there are four well proportioned bedrooms, each having its own en suite facilities. Outside, the principal gardens lie to the south side of the house with an expansive lawn, overlooked by the property's stone paved patio. The gardens incorporate a number of mature shrubs and trees and flow through to the adjoining paddock area beyond. The property is approached via a long driveway from Hell Lane, the upkeep of which is shared with the neighbouring properties along with the automated gates. In total the property extends to 1.63 acres (0.66 hectares).

The property enjoys a wonderful feeling of rural seclusion and yet is within very easy access of the commercial centres of both Wakefield and Pontefract. The national motorway network is also readily access for journeys further afield.
