This fully renovated Grade II listed farmhouse blends original stone character with contemporary finishes. The showstopping open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a floorto-ceiling sense of light, creating an impressive social hub for family life and entertaining. A separate office wing with shower room offers flexible accommodation that can function as a fourth bedroom.
Upstairs the galleried landing and bespoke floating oak staircase lead to a large master suite with dressing room and luxury en‑suite, plus two more double bedrooms, an elegant family bathroom and an upstairs laundry. Practical additions include a ground‑floor utility, modern W/C, useful storage rooms and a carport with block‑paved drive behind secure electric gates.
Outside the property benefits from an Indian stone terrace, low‑maintenance enclosed lawn and an approx. 1.3‑acre paddock backing onto open countryside — rare outdoor space so close to village amenities. Excellent mobile signal and reasonable commuter links to Doncaster and Pontefract make this attractive for those seeking rural living with city access.
Important considerations: the house’s Grade II listing restricts alterations and may complicate future works; heating runs from an oil‑fired boiler and the property uses a septic tank and LPG, adding ongoing running considerations. The listed stone walls are assumed uninsulated and double glazing dates from before 2002 — further insulation improvements may be limited by listed status. Local area data notes higher crime and relative deprivation indicators; buyers should satisfy themselves about local services and insurance implications.
