About this property
From the moment you arrive, the sense of privacy and peace is unmistakable. Nestled in the heart of East Hardwick—a welcoming, community-focused village—the home is surrounded by mature trees, a rewilded woodland with a spring-fed stream, fruiting apple trees, and a generous south-facing garden, all combining to create a private sanctuary just moments from excellent commuter routes and respected schools including The King’s School and Pontefract Carleton Park.
Inside, the property flows beautifully with bright, well-proportioned spaces and original features at every turn. Thoughtfully modernised, it retains the warmth and character of its past while offering all the modern comforts expected of a high-quality home. Exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and wood-burning stoves provide a rich sense of heritage, while large windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
At the heart of the home is a spacious, country-style kitchen fitted with quality cabinetry, oak worktops, and a range cooker—perfect for family life or entertaining. This space opens into a character-filled dining area with original beams and rustic charm, offering the ideal setting for everything from cosy dinners to lively gatherings. The living areas are generously sized and thoughtfully designed, combining comfort with functionality, while flexible additional spaces such as a library and home office provide options for growing families or remote working.
Upstairs, four beautifully presented double bedrooms offer tranquil retreats, each one brimming with charm thanks to original timbers, feature skylights, and peaceful garden or woodland views. The master suite enjoys a stylish en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath and luxury fittings, while the main family bathroom is finished to a high standard.
A standout feature of this property is the separate guest house—an incredibly versatile space currently used as a fifth bedroom with WC, but equally suited as a home office, gym, studio, or even a self-contained annex for guests or relatives.
Outside, the grounds are truly exceptional. The rewilded wooded area is a haven for wildlife, while the expansive lawn and large patio offer space for family relaxation, entertaining, or outdoor play. A 36ft concrete base with its own power supply presents a fantastic opportunity for future development (subject to planning). A gated driveway provides ample off-street parking and includes a 7kW electric vehicle charger.
Combining timeless character with modern convenience, this outstanding home is also ideally positioned for commuters, with quick access to the A1, M62, and train links to Leeds, York, Sheffield, and London. With so much space, soul, and potential, this is not just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Viewing is essential.
