5 bedroom house

Set in gardens and grounds of circa two acres, having a purpose built one bedroom annexe, excellent outbuilding and paddocks ideal for horses, ponies or donkeys ¿ a unique four bedroom period cottage
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Estate agency gives me a buzz, day in day out. Why is that? For me it is the combination of meeting new people and discovering new property. When, as an agent, you really like both, it¿s a great feeling and is exactly how I felt about this really special and terrific property that offers such a wide range of features.

The first thing to note is the amount of land. It is very rare to find a home under £850,000 in the locality that comes with 1.96 acre paddocks in addition to a plot of over a third of an acre. Add to that excellent rural views and you have the perfect start. But with land comes the need for outbuildings and again there is a lot to offer in this regard, with both brick and timber stable blocks. These are ideal for those with an equestrian interest but also those who wish to have extensive storage facility or certain work at home business interests.

What of the house? Well it¿s a really charming home, full of character and warm appeal. The main area comprises four bedrooms and two reception rooms, with an attractive farmhouse kitchen. Of particular note is the one bedroom, one bathroom, one reception room annexe ¿ purpose built, of really good quality and ideal for those with family who require such a facility. Alternatively, it acts as extra accommodation to the main house.
This house is located just off the main A49 and is a real gem that offers great possibilities for the future owner ¿ come and take a look. The location is also key for those who value convenient access to commercial hubs ¿ Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool are all under 1 hour and 25 minutes away.
