Nearly 4,000 sq ft of comfort unfolds within, each space finished with craftsmanship and care, every outlook revealing the home's gentle warmth. 

A Warm Welcome 

Quietly located on a country lane, just two miles from the M1, this is a home which is perfectly positioned for family life. Nearly 4,000 sq ft of comfort unfolds within, each space finished with craftsmanship and care, every outlook revealing the home's gentle warmth. 

Approached through a quiet lane, Stoney Banks immediately conveys its character. A wide cobbled driveway provides parking for up to four cars, framed by mature hedges that heighten the sense of seclusion. The soft blue front door offers a hint of the elegance inside, while fields to the rear are a constant reminder of the home's rare position in the landscape. 

Step inside and light spills across the wide entrance hallway, illuminating the detailing that defines the home, seven-inch skirting boards, oak doors with brass hinges, beautifully crafted coving and a calm palette that brings cohesion to the interior. The layout flows naturally, designed for ease and connection.
 
Crafted for Connection 

At the heart of the home lies a kitchen designed for both everyday ease and effortless hosting. Bespoke cabinetry lines the walls, creating generous storage and a sense of quiet order. The central island forms a natural gathering point, while the Aga brings warmth and tradition. The space is arranged for effortless movement between preparation, cooking and conversation, allowing the kitchen to serve as the social hub of the home. 

Adjoining the kitchen, a spacious utility room offers a double sink, brickwork detailing, and space for both washer and dryer. A side door opens directly to the courtyard and garden, making outdoor living wonderfully effortless.

Beyond, the dining room offers a graceful setting for entertaining and everyday meals alike. High ceilings lend a sense of proportion and calm, while the large window frames views of the back garden and surrounding fields.
 
Designed for Living 

Across the hall, the sitting room offers calm sophistication. Generous in scale, with windows to three sides that capture sunlight throughout the day, it is a room made for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. A log-burning stove sits within a stone fireplace, casting a warm glow in the colder months.

A separate study provides an additional flexible space, ideal as a snug, playroom or home study. With soft natural light and a peaceful outlook, it can shift easily to suit the rhythm of family life, equally comfortable as a creative corner or a quiet retreat. 

Discreetly positioned off the hall, a ground-floor cloakroom and practical storage ensure that the beauty of the space is never at the expense of function. 

Soak and Sleep 

The staircase rises gracefully, guided by a tall window that frames the garden. Natural light fills the landing, creating a sense of continuity between the floors. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged with comfort and proportion in mind, each space defined by subtle luxury. 

The master bedroom, is an elegant retreat, thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the garden and countryside views. Two large windows showcase the stunning sunsets that are visible over Woolley, while soft tones and considered proportions create a sense of calm.  A generous walk-in dressing room provides ample storage, leading through to a private en-suite completed with a freestanding bath and a separate shower. Every element is designed for unhurried living, a space that feels indulgent yet deeply restful. 

Along the landing lies bedroom two, positioned to the right of the stairs. This calming double room looks out across the rear garden, where mature planting and lawns lend a private, green backdrop. Finished with an en-suite shower room, this space offers comfort and independence for guests or family alike. 

Continue along to bedroom three, distinguished by its trio of windows that capture natural light from multiple angles. Each window frames a different aspect of the surrounding gardens. Fitted wardrobes blend seamlessly with the d?cor, providing generous and practical storage without disturbing the calm composition of the space. 

At the far end of the landing lies bedroom four, an impressive and cleverly configured space. With views stretching across both the front and rear gardens. A partition wall divides the space into two distinct areas: one ideal for study or quiet work, the other for sleep and relaxation. Built-in wardrobes maintain the refined, consistent finish found throughout the home. The loft space, which is boarded and provides additional storage, can also be accessed through this area. 

Completing this floor is the family bathroom, a generous and beautifully composed space. Finished in neutral tones, it features both a bath and a separate shower, alongside a fitted vanity and basin. The soft natural light enhances its calm, restorative atmosphere, creating a room that feels quietly indulgent. Stepping back onto the spacious landing you find a large built in storage cupboard, a practical and well-placed addition that keeps the upper floor effortlessly organised. 
 
Gardens and Grounds 

Wrapping around three sides of the home, the gardens at Stoney Banks offer both privacy and beauty. Manicured lawns and well-stocked borders bring colour and structure through every season. 

A permanent car port, versatile workshop, and garden W.C. sit along the courtyard, which links seamlessly with the main garden to offer flexible space for entertaining, working or creative pursuits. 

Out and about 

From its peaceful rural setting, Stoney Banks offers effortless access to natural beauty. Whether it's a brief 15-minute stroll or an immersive three-hour hike, countless routes unfold through country lanes and leafy footpaths, inviting exploration in every season.

Everyday conveniences are equally near at hand, with supermarkets within easy reach. Commuting is straightforward, with road and rail links from Woolley providing swift access to Wakefield and Leeds, and direct trains from Wakefield to London. Families are well placed, with a choice of respected primary, secondary and independent schools across the region.

Stoney Banks is a home rich in character and warmth, perfectly suited to those who value space, privacy and the outdoors. Every element, from the oak doors to the landscaped gardens, has been shaped with integrity and care. It is a place that promises restful nights and peaceful days, a residence where elegance and ease live side by side.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Occupying a defined plot along Gawthorpe Lane, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a site with an existing home, alongside granted planning consent for the change of use and conversion of the attached barn into a second residential dwelling.

Set within an open rural landscape, the property enjoys wide, uninterrupted views across gently rolling green fields. The outlook extends over pasture bordered by dry-stone walls, mature hedgerows, and working farmlands. The site benefits from a clearly defined curtilage, driveway access, and allocated parking as shown on the approved layout. Grassland beyond the domestic grounds is to be retained, with additional tree planting included within the consented plans.

The existing dwelling offers significant potential for renovation, providing an appealing prospect for those looking to modernize a characterful home. Currently arranged as a well-proportioned three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, it retains much of its original cottage charm, including exposed ceiling beams and deep-set windowsills that perfectly frame the surrounding countryside. 

The living room and dining room offer well-proportioned reception spaces, both featuring exposed beams. The living room is centred around a substantial stone fireplace, while the dining room provides a flexible space for family meals or entertaining. The kitchen is generous in size with a practical layout, ample worktop space and an original stone fireplace, offering excellent potential for updating while retaining its rustic charm. Just off the kitchen is the second entrance to the home, which provides ample space for storing muddy boots, along with an additional downstairs WC.

There are three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles, all enjoying natural light. Each room offers a simple, adaptable layout suitable for a range of uses. The accommodation is completed by a functional family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite and shower enclosure, with scope for cosmetic enhancement if desired.

The approved scheme presents a thoughtfully designed barn conversion that respects the building's heritage while creating a well-balanced two-storey layout. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, complemented by a separate snug or study and a spacious living room with garden access. The first floor contains three bedrooms and a central family bathroom.

Life in Gawthorpe

Gawthorpe offers a quieter side of Huddersfield living, with a distinctly local, down-to-earth feel. Set just east of the town centre, the area balances everyday convenience with pockets of green space and long-standing community roots. You'll find familiar independent shops, takeaways and local pubs close at hand, alongside easy access to larger supermarkets and amenities in Huddersfield itself.

For commuters, Gawthorpe is well placed: regular bus routes link directly into the town centre, while road connections make travel across Kirklees and beyond straightforward. Nearby green spaces and canal-side walks provide welcome breathing room, ideal for dog walks or a slower weekend pace.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Originally built as weavers' cottages in the late 18th century, Rowley Clough is a historic home that reflects the domestic textile heritage of the area, where homes were designed to combine living and working space with robust, practical construction.

Having been extended in more recent years, the house now offers sizable family living space with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, plus further reception rooms, a large garden, and a double garage, perfect for modern family living.

A Place to Gather & Graze 

The entrance hall offers space to store coats, shoes, and family outdoor essentials. From here, the home opens into the open plan kitchen, dining, and living area, which forms the heart of the home.

The kitchen is generously proportioned, centred around a large island with integrated storage beneath and topped with Silestone work surfaces, inset with a four zone induction hob with integrated extractor. The perfect spot for family activities, casual meals and everyday catch-ups. The kitchen is fitted with every mod con, from discreetly integrated charging points to an array of high-quality fitted appliances. A bank of cabinets is home to two integrated ovens, a microwave and a steam oven, and the sink is equipped with a convenient Quooker tap, making it well-suited to those who enjoy cooking, hosting and entertaining. Storage is extensive, with a range of cupboards and large drawers, including warming/proofing drawer, a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets and a large dresser cupboard with built-in shelving, discreetly tucked away. 

Neatly positioned off the kitchen, the utility room, fitted with sink, washing machine and dryer, keeps everyday tasks out of sight, and a separate pantry provides a large space for additional food, kitchen equipment and storage.

The dining area enjoys views of the garden through multiple windows and French doors, creating a natural connection to the outdoor spaces. Between the dining area and snug sits a stunning double-sided wood-burning stove, allowing the fire to be enjoyed from both spaces while subtly defining the layout.

Discover Comfort & Charm

Double doors open into the main lounge, a characterful room with original exposed beams and generous proportions. A gas fire sits centrally within a large feature fireplace, creating a strong focal point and making the space feel warm and inviting throughout the year. Original stone mullioned windows allow natural light to move easily through the room, balancing the traditional features with a bright and comfortable atmosphere. The French doors provide easy access to the patio and lawned gardens. This part of the house was one of the original cottages and once formed a main entrance, adding depth and history. It is a room well suited for entertaining or quieter evenings in front of the fire.

Beyond the lounge, the layout continues to offer flexibility. On the lower level is a guest bedroom fitted with built-in wardrobes and patio doors that open directly onto the courtyard and the rear garden. This room enjoys a pleasant outlook and a sense of separation from the main living areas, making it ideal for visitors or extended family. Opposite is a shower room, creating a practical arrangement for guest accommodation. There is also a third room that is currently being used as a home office but has the flexibility to be a fifth bedroom or hobby room.
This area could easily be used as a more self-contained space, offering excellent potential for an annexe if needed. The arrangement of rooms creates a degree of privacy and independence, while still feeling part of the main home.

Rest & Recharge

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, the landing opens out to a light and bright sitting area. This is a particularly appealing space, again featuring original exposed beams and large windows that extend into the roofline, which flood the room with light. French doors open to a balcony overlooking the rear garden. It is often used as an evening entertaining space, offering a more relaxed alternative to the main lounge. 

Positioned just off the sitting area, bedroom two overlooks the garden and enjoys high ceilings, exposed original beams and a pleasant outlook. It is a well-proportioned room, offering plenty of space for bedroom furniture while retaining a sense of openness and light.

From the landing, bedroom three is also a generously sized room, with two large, stone mullioned windows, characteristic of the home's history, that draw in natural light throughout the day. The room's proportions and ceiling height give it flexibility, making it suitable as a double bedroom or guest room.

To the end of the hall, just off the staircase, the master bedroom is a particularly impressive space, generous in both scale and elegance. Windows on two walls draw in natural light throughout the day, creating a bright and airy atmosphere whilst offering uninterrupted views of the lawned gardens.  
A dedicated walk-in wardrobe area provides practical and well-organised storage which keeps the main sleeping space uncluttered. 
The en-suite is finished in a contemporary style with a walk-in wet room shower featuring distinctive textured tiling and built-in storage. A large Velux window draws in natural light while maintaining privacy, creating a space that feels open and well-balanced. Together, the bedroom, wardrobe and en-suite form a private sanctuary that feels spacious, light-filled and thoughtfully arranged.

Completing the space upstairs is the main family bathroom, well-sized and designed to serve the household comfortably. It includes a separate shower and bath, with natural light enhancing the space and creating a peaceful, practical room for everyday use.

Step Outside

The gardens are a defining feature of this home. At the rear, the garden is arranged over several levels. A lower courtyard sits close to the house and connects directly to the ground-floor bedroom. Steps lead up to the tiered patio, regularly used for summer dining, and onward to an upper balcony terrace with open views across the garden. Towards the far end, the garden tapers softly and incorporates a small, pump-fed stream, adding a gentle, ambient sound in the warmer months.
To the front, a south facing lawn stretches across the home, neatly maintained and bordered by mature trees that provide privacy and soften surrounding noise. A generous patio extends directly from the house, creating a natural link between inside and out. Outdoor lighting allows the space to be enjoyed into the evening, making it well-suited to entertaining.
To the right of the driveway sits a substantial detached double garage, fitted with an electric vehicle charging point. A workshop space to the rear of the garage adds further practicality.
Above the garage, accessed via internal stairs, is a spacious, light-filled room featuring three Velux windows and an additional window at the gable end. This space offers clear potential for conversion, whether as a home office, cinema room, gym, studio, or play room. 

Life in Fenay Bridge

Rowley Clough sits within Fenay Bridge, a quiet semi-rural village on the southeastern edge of Huddersfield and is closely connected to the neighbouring village of Lepton. Well regarded local schooling is close by, including Rowley Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery School, with middle and secondary schools easily reached by dedicated bus services. 

Day to day amenities are within easy reach, while the buzzing nearby village of Kirkburton offers a wider selection of independent shops and a Michelin guide rated restaurant. Lepton provides a post office, supermarket and library. Dining options include the popular Fenay Bridge pub and restaurant and Harvey's Bar and Kitchen. 

The surrounding area offers excellent leisure opportunities, from Woodsome Hall Golf Club and Castle Hill to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whistlestop Valley. Green belt countryside and woodland walks, including Lepton Great Wood, surround the village and connect into the wider Colne and Holme valleys.
 
Fenay Bridge is well placed for commuters, with straightforward access to Huddersfield, Wakefield and the M1.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[A Home with a History 

Nestled in the heart of the prestigious village of Woolley, The Old Storehouse offers a rare and beautiful fusion of historic estate architecture and refined modern living. Originally part of the Woolley Hall Estate's nineteenth-century service buildings, this remarkable home preserves the character and authenticity of its heritage while embracing contemporary ease and comfort. Time has settled gently around it, creating a sense of permanence and quiet distinction.

Enjoying a privileged position overlooking the village green, this intimate enclave of former cottages and service buildings, once the working heart of the wider grounds, forms a richly layered architectural setting steeped in history and character. The result is a residence that feels well connected, that is framed by heritage yet grounded in everyday practicality. The Old Storehouse is more than a home; it is a conversation piece, a tangible link to history, and a rare opportunity to live at the heart of one of Yorkshire's most desirable and picturesque villages.

A Warm Welcome

The spacious hallway immediately gives you a feeling of home. Soft, neutral St Benedict Antique stone flooring provides a sense of calm continuity upon entry. Light travels gently through the space, enhanced by the glazed internal door drawing brightness from the rooms beyond, at the far end, a bespoke stained-glass stable door forms a distinctive focal point, allowing soft natural light to filter through.

The Heart of the Home 

To the right of the entrance hallway lies the kitchen. Solid oak cabinetry forms the backbone of the space, offering storage in abundance and lending a warm, timeless character. The honeyed timber pairs beautifully with the rich terracotta tile floor. A dark, polished granite worktop runs the length of the room, providing a clean contrast and adding depth, while the dining table sits ready for slow breakfasts or lively suppers. There is an easy rhythm here, designed for the pleasure of cooking and sharing. Double doors reconnect the room to the hallway, creating a circular flow that is ideal for everyday living.

Cosy Comforts

Terracotta tile steps rise gently from the kitchen into the living room, creating a natural sense of transition. A glazed timber door opens to reveal a space designed entirely for comfort and retreat. At its heart, a handsome brick fireplace with a solid timber mantle anchors the room, with the wood-burning stove setting the tone for relaxed evenings. Triple-aspect windows bathe the space in natural light throughout the day, framing leafy views and glimpses of the village beyond. Contemporary ceiling lighting and discreet spotlights introduce a subtle modern note, thoughtfully balanced against the home's traditional character. It is a room made for quiet mornings, long evenings, and an enduring sense of warmth and stillness.

Perfect Practicality 

Returning to the entrance hallway, beyond the bespoke stained-glass stable door lies the utility room, where everyday practicality is thoughtfully woven into the home's character. Beneath a wooden worktop and stainless-steel sink, the washing machine is neatly concealed, ensuring the space remains both functional and uncluttered. A fully glazed door opens onto the sheltered rear courtyard, a quiet retreat where morning coffee can be enjoyed in calm seclusion.

Unwind and Restore

To the left of the entrance hall, along the wide corridor, the bathroom is found. Soft beige tiling wraps the room in a continuous sweep, lending the walls a gentle warmth. The bathtub sits neatly along one wall, complemented by an overhead shower, extractor fan and a vertical heated towel rail. The washbasin sits on a resin worktop with a vanity unit and cupboard below and a large mirror together with a tall wall cabinet with internal razor socket above. Thoughtfully designed and calming in atmosphere, the space offers a quiet moment of rest at either end of the day.

Adjacent lies bedroom two, a beautifully adaptable space that transitions effortlessly from a serene bedroom to an elegant home office. A trio of windows spans the far wall, filling the room with natural light and framing views towards the village green, lending the space an uplifting sense of openness. Beneath the windows, a bespoke corner desk provides a generous working surface, complemented by open shelving for books and personal touches. 

Positioned at the end of the corridor, the master bedroom offers a sense of quiet seclusion and calm. Soft natural light streams through three wide windows, their warm timber frames echoing the character found throughout the home. Built-in wardrobes extend along one wall, delivering generous storage while preserving a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Finished in soft, neutral tones and beautifully proportioned, the room invites rest, relaxation, and an unhurried pace of living.

Graceful Gardens

At the front of the home, stone pathways introduce texture and gently guide the eye through layered planting and pockets of greenery. The driveway provides off-street parking for up to three vehicles, along with access to a spacious single garage with shelving and an external EV charging point, while established shrubs and borders lend soft structure and seasonal interest. Low stone walls offer privacy without compromising the garden's open, relaxed feel.

To the rear, a paved patio extends the living space outdoors, providing an inviting setting for coffee, family gatherings, or unhurried evenings. 

Out and About 

Beyond the walls of The Old Storehouse stretches a village rich with heritage. Cottages line winding lanes, and the rhythm of daily life remains delightfully unhurried. 

Surrounded by a network of scenic routes, the area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with the woodland and lakeside trails of Newmillerdam Country Park close by, alongside the inspiring Yorkshire Sculpture Park. 

Food and drink options are plentiful with Capri restaurant, and a selection of cosy pubs close at hand. The village's strong sense of community is reflected in its active village hall, church, and nearby golf course. 

Wakefield and Leeds are easily reached by road and rail, and the M1 provides convenient access while remaining far enough away to preserve the area's peaceful atmosphere. 

Brimming with character and warmth, The Old Storehouse offers a peaceful, charming retreat where outdoor living and everyday comfort sit beautifully together.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[A Warm Welcome

Tucked away in the highly desirable village of Woolley, Pooh Cottage beautifully combines period charm with refined modern living. Originally built in the 18th century as part of a terrace of cottages, two former homes have been thoughtfully united and extended to create one substantial residence full of warmth, character and contemporary comfort.

A solid oak entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway laid with traditional York stone paving, immediately creating a sense of warmth and authenticity. Rich in texture and heritage, this first impression perfectly reflects the inviting atmosphere found throughout the home.

To the right, a stylish ground floor WC offers convenience for guests, finished with modern fittings and continuing the stone flooring that pays tribute to the property's origins. Opposite, a practical under-stairs cupboard provides discreet and useful storage for daily life.

Heart and Heritage

Directly ahead, a short set of oak steps leads into the lounge, where the home's character instantly comes to life. A vaulted ceiling creates a wonderful sense of space, enhanced by exposed oak beams and a striking wrought iron chandelier. At the heart of the room, the log burner sits upon a stone base that once formed the original cottage doorstep, preserving a meaningful piece of the home's history.

Three large picture windows overlook the rear garden, creating a peaceful setting to relax with a morning coffee while enjoying the changing seasons and visiting wildlife. Solid wood flooring adds warmth and richness, while elegant finishes make this both a sophisticated and comfortable everyday living space.

To one side, a highly versatile additional room offers flexibility for modern family life. Currently arranged as a home office, it would also suit use as a playroom, snug or gym. A concealed internal door leads directly into the double garage, adding further practicality.

Designed for Living

Positioned to the rear of the property, the kitchen has been carefully designed with both style and functionality in mind. At its centre, a generous island creates the perfect space for family gatherings and entertaining, while bespoke cabinetry provides extensive storage. A suite of integrated appliances including multiple ovens, an induction hob, coffee machine and plate warmer ensures the kitchen is equally suited to everyday cooking and hosting alike.

Large windows flood the room with natural light and frame views across the south-facing garden, while impressive double-height ceilings enhance the feeling of openness and scale.

Leading directly from the kitchen, the dining room continues the home's elegant blend of oak and stone. An original fireplace, thoughtfully transformed into a striking wine display, introduces a subtle reminder of the cottage's history. Soft tones and natural textures create a welcoming setting for everything from relaxed breakfasts to evening dining with friends and family.

Just beyond, the utility room provides a practical extension of the kitchen space. Finished with blue cabinetry offering excellent storage, the room is lifted by patterned floor tiles that add character and charm. Functional yet stylish, it is perfectly designed for busy day-to-day living.

Spaces to Relax

Beyond the dining room, the snug introduces a more intimate and cosy atmosphere. Exposed beams and an exposed brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove bring warmth and texture to the room, creating an ideal retreat during colder months.

Thoughtfully integrated lighting allows the ambience to shift effortlessly from bright and sociable to calm and cocooning at the touch of a switch. Forming part of the home's flowing wrap-around layout, the snug connects naturally back into the kitchen, creating an easy and sociable ground floor arrangement.

Soak and Sleep

From the entrance hall, a galleried landing reached by a short staircase leads to the principal bedroom, privately positioned to create a peaceful retreat. Beneath a Velux window, the landing forms a quiet reading nook where natural light spills softly across the oak balustrade.

The principal suite continues the home's considered design aesthetic, complete with a walk-in wardrobe featuring automatic lighting and ample storage. The en-suite bathroom blends contemporary fittings with the property's period character, while three Velux windows fill the room with daylight, illuminating the roll-top bath and separate shower to create a luxurious place to unwind.

Returning through the home to the second staircase rising from the dining room, bedroom two sits off a split-level landing and is characterised by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and an attractive feature fireplace. Its en-suite bathroom reflects the home's signature style, incorporating blue cabinetry and patterned tiles for a cohesive yet independent feel.

Across the landing, bedroom three offers a softer, calming atmosphere. Exposed beams and windows overlooking the garden allow natural light to pour in, while freestanding oak wardrobes bring warmth and balance to the room.
The family bathroom continues the established design palette with blue cabinetry, patterned tiles and warm finishes throughout. A roll-top shower bath combines practicality with a touch of indulgence.

To the left, bedroom four is a charming and generously proportioned room with high ceilings and exposed beams that create a relaxed and welcoming feel.

Opposite, bedroom five is currently arranged as a peaceful home office overlooking the rear garden. Quietly positioned for privacy and focus, it can easily transition into an additional bedroom if required.

A Garden Made for Gathering

Outside, the south-facing garden provides a beautifully private and balanced outdoor setting. Framed by York stone walls and paving, it enjoys sunlight throughout the day, from morning light across the terrace to the warm evening glow over the lawn. Carefully landscaped borders complement the home's heritage, while offering spaces equally suited to outdoor dining and quiet relaxation.

Secluded yet connected to the house, the garden perfectly reflects the effortless relationship between indoor and outdoor living found throughout Pooh Cottage.

Out and About

Surrounded by countryside walks and scenic beauty, Woolley offers an enviable lifestyle for those who enjoy the outdoors. Nearby Newmillerdam Country Park provides woodland trails and lakeside walks ideal for everything from leisurely strolls to longer weekend adventures, while the Yorkshire Sculpture Park is also within easy reach.

Excellent local dining options include Capri restaurant along with a selection of welcoming village pubs, independent shops, bakeries and supermarkets. The village itself enjoys a strong sense of community, centred around its village hall, church and nearby golf course.

For commuters, Wakefield and Leeds are easily accessible by both road and rail. Wakefield Westgate offers direct services to London in approximately two hours, while the nearby M1 provides excellent transport links without disturbing the area's peaceful surroundings.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Luxury meets serenity in a setting that blends the best of both worlds at Oak Lea. 

Characterful charm - city convenience

Tucked away in a private, ruralesque setting, yet a short drive from the city centre, Oak Lea - a home extended, upgraded and recently refurbished - offers aspirational levels of lifestyle that most only dream of. 

Evolving with the times

Approach the driveway, through electric gates where ample parking can be found for ten or more vehicles, alongside a double garage served by power and lighting.

Modern upgrades to a timeless home

A bespoke home built to exacting standards, featuring high-end fixtures and fittings, including a 3-phase electric system (offering faster charging than conventional circuitry, should you choose to install an EV chargepoint), Oak Lea has expanded over the years to provide all a growing family needs; laced with a little luxury.

With its own cinema room, gym, sauna and heated indoor swimming pool, all enveloped in immaculately maintained, private gardens, Oak Lea offers an all-encompassing way of life. 

Refined arrival

Step inside into a broad and bright entrance hall where a wide, grand stairway leads up to the large landing ahead as light spills down through a tall window. 

Homely and inviting, the high-quality finish of this solidly-built stone home can be instantly felt.

Mingle and unwind

Invite all the family to gather for quality time in the lounge, a substantial room where Amtico flooring flows out underfoot. An impressive built-in media wall with Bose speaker system ensures a high quality of audio when settling down to a box set marathon.

High end, designer radiators fill the room with warmth, as light streams in through two large, floor-to-ceiling windows, dressed in remote controlled, electric blinds. Contemporary, yet emanating classic elegance, this room is a sophisticated sanctuary.

Sunny spaces

Brimming with light, step through into the sitting room on the right, cosy and carpeted in wool underfoot, warmth emanates from the log-burning stove. South facing windows take in the verdant views over the front lawn, whilst French doors invite you to step outside in the summertime.

Adjoining the room is a cosy cinema room, allowing children to escape to watch a movie in close proximity to their parents, while the grown-ups relax in front of the fire.

Feast your eyes

Wine and dine in the formal dining room, offering plenty of space around the table for special occasions and celebrations. 

Gourmet German kitchen

The sociable centre of life at Oak Lea - the kitchen! Feast your eyes on the array of high-end German manufactured Gaggenau and K?ppersbusch appliances including a trio of separate ovens (plus a separate built-in steamer oven, a built-in microwave and a built-in television), two separate induction hob stations (one with teppanyaki plate), a huge, corner, bespoke-built fridge, separate fruit and vegetable fridge drawer, separate freezer with drinks dispenser and also a dual temperature wine cooler. 

Plenty of preparation space can be found on the granite, double depth worktops, installed by Grand Designs, while this comprehensively equipped and capacious kitchen also offers two separate sink stations and two dishwashers.

OWNER QUOTE: "We love our kitchen, it's a cook's dream. We cook and dine in here most mornings and evenings."

Karndean flooring flows out underfoot, whilst warmth radiates from the two, designer floor to ceiling radiators. Cook up a feast for family and friends to your favourite tunes, serenaded by built-in Bose speakers.

Continuing your way along to the utility room, additional storage and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer can be found.

Leisurely living

Accessed from the hallway off the kitchen, enter into the leisure complex and indulge in some cardio or strength activity in the home's purpose-built commercial quality gym. 

Then, soothe your aches in the Nordic sauna and shower, with changing rooms and a WC.  After, why not take a dip in the indoor heated swimming pool (currently in the process of being upgraded).

Development potential

Already insulated, there is scope to convert the pool area into a large annexe for dependents' living if desired, as it has its own external access and separate heating system.

OWNER QUOTE: "In the winter there is no excuse not to go to the gym, and then unwind in the sauna afterwards, before sitting down to watch a movie in the cinema room, it's my ideal day!" 

Making your way up the stairs to the enormous, light-filled first floor landing, turn right to reach a large bedroom overlooking the front garden.

Cosily carpeted underfoot, the neighbouring bedroom offers ample storage in the fitted wardrobes, again providing enchanting views out over the leafy front lawn.

Off the main landing there is a large office, brimming with bespoke fitted furniture, mood lighting and shelving. 

Step across the landing into a further guest bedroom, sunny and south-facing, furnished with fitted storage and a wet-room shower ensuite with underfloor heating.

Soak and sleep

Soothe your senses in the spacious family bathroom, with a wet room walk-in power shower. Soak your aches beneath the twinkling mood lighting inset within the ceiling, before stepping out onto the warmth of the underfloor heating.


Restful places

Make your way into the sanctuary and seclusion of the master bedroom; a vastly sized and serene oasis, neutrally decorated and with a wealth of storage available in the twin walk-in wardrobes.

With ample space for a super king size bed, wake up to verdant vistas from the large, south facing, floor to ceiling window. Refresh and restore your senses in the spacious ensuite, where you can relax in the warm waters of the large bath or freshen up in the wet room shower. 

Stairs lead to the second floor, where two further, well-proportioned ensuite bedrooms await.

Sunshine, shelter and shade

Outside, a beautifully maintained, striped lawn wraps around the front and sides, with borders brimming with a plethora of different plants and shrubs. Water and power sockets feature all around the outside.

Large conifers offer shelter and shade from the sun, providing total privacy, ensuring the garden at Oak Lea is an entertaining haven.

With doors opening out onto the large patio from the sitting room, swimming pool and gym, this area is designed for entertaining, fitted with outdoor speakers for summers spent dancing the night away with family and friends.

OWNER QUOTE: "When the sun is beaming down, it's like being on holiday!"

Outbuildings and opportunities

Plenty of storage can be found in the separate workshop (served by power, lighting, sinks, and cooker hoods for alfresco feasting) alongside a separate gardener's hut with amenities. 

Out and about

Step outside and discover the delights on the doorstep. With plenty of options for local dining nearby, try out Rinaldi's for pizza or the variety of eateries at Newmillerdam, just a five-minute drive away, which is also home to another Italian favourite, Capri.

Balancing convenience with countryside, the local area is also rich in walks. Why not head down into West Bretton or enjoy a relaxing morning stroll to Blacker Hall Farm for breakfast or to pick up fresh local produce. 

For retail therapy, Meadowhall is less than a 25-minute drive, offering a wide range of stores. Other great shopping destinations like the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds and Birstall Shopping Park are all within a 20-minute drive. 

Commuting is convenient, in close proximity to the M1 motorway, whilst Wakefield City Centre is less than 15 minutes away, where you can pick up rail connections from Wakefield Westgate Station, you can even be in London in less than two hours!

Families are well placed with plenty of educational options, including prestigious private schools such as Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield Girls' High School, and Silcoates - all close by.

With its expansive size, multiple rooms, and high-quality finish, Oak Lea is an exceptional retreat designed for both comfort and grandeur. For growing families, Oak Lea offers every modern amenity, whilst spacious bedrooms ensure there is plenty of room for when guests come to stay.

A home of both style and substance, Oak Lea has been extensively renovated ensuring that every detail has been thoughtfully designed, making it the ultimate space for both everyday living and special occasions.
