Set within the peaceful village of Badsworth, this substantial six-bedroom detached cottage blends period character with spacious, family-focused living. At 3,439 sq ft the layout includes four reception rooms, three bathrooms and a large kitchen/dining area with underfloor heating — offering flexible space for family use, home working and formal entertaining. The generous master suite, additional dressing room and versatile attic bedroom create private retreats for a large household.
Externally the property sits on a huge plot with mature hedging, paved patio, a modern garden pod and a broad gravel driveway leading to a substantial garage. The listed stone exterior, exposed beams, stone surrounds and original features give the house strong period appeal and countryside charm, with privacy and rural tranquillity close to Pontefract amenities and well-regarded primary schools nearby.
Practical considerations are important: this is a listed building, which may restrict alterations and could add cost and delay to renovations or extensions. The walls are stone with no assumed insulation, and heating runs on an LPG boiler — useful for rural locations but typically more expensive than mains gas. Broadband speeds are very slow, so anyone working from home should check connectivity options. Council tax is above average.
This property will suit an established family seeking substantial, characterful accommodation and space to adapt. Buyers wanting to modernise should factor in listed-building consents and potential fabric upgrades. Viewing is by accompanied appointment only.
