Full Description
Situated in the sought-after Conservation Area of High Ackworth, this historic home features: Three reception rooms, four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with four-piece en-suite bathroom and dressing room, as well as a four-piece family bathroom. The dining kitchen is enhanced by the gas fired aga as well as 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, workshop, outbuildings, generous mature landscaped gardens stocked with rare trees, shrubs and roses. Beyond lies a high-quality equestrian setup, including a secure yard with four modern stables, feed/tack room, standing for horseboxes and trailers, and a 60m x 20m all-weather dressage arena complete with a sprinkler irrigation system.
The 4.75-acre paddock is enclosed and equipped with automatic water troughs, and the property retains planning permission for equestrian business use, making this an ideal prospect for those seeking residential and commercial potential. The paddock is bordered 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 1km from local amenities - including 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, while the independent Quaker-founded Ackworth School draws a professional, international community. 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.
When it's time to compete, you're spoilt for choice:
10 min - Pontefract Racecourse's winter arena-eventing.
30 min - Yorkshire Equestrian Centre (70 × 30 indoor, two outdoors, aqua-treadmill).
40-50 min - Port Royal, Bishop Burton College, Askham Bryan and Houghton Hall host full British Dressage, bsj and be calendars - ideal stepping-stones to national level.
≤60 min - Epworth, Speetley and Arena UK extend your radius for stay-away shows without the overnight bill.
Whether you're schooling youngsters, chasing points or simply craving miles of off-road hacking, Ackworth delivers a ready-made equestrian environment wrapped in a village that feels both lived-in and quietly prestigious - a rare combination where country life, competitive ambition and modern convenience all share the same postcode. **enquiries**
