Summary - SMALLEY BIGHT HOUSE ABERFORD ROAD STANLEY WAKEFIELD WF3 4DE
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious 7-bed family home on 1.5 acres with development potential.
- Approximately 5,000 sqft across three floors
Smalley Bight House is an imposing early-20th-century detached home set on approximately 1.5 acres, offering substantial accommodation across three floors. With around 5,000 sqft, seven double bedrooms, five bath/shower suites and two additional WCs, the house suits a large family seeking space, outbuildings and privacy. The large conservatory, five reception rooms and multiple garages create flexible living and storage options for hobbies, home working or multi-generational living.
Practical advantages include an integral double garage, two single garages, a gated driveway and planning permission already granted for a single-storey extension, allowing straightforward expansion. Transport links are reasonable for the area — Outwood and Wakefield stations are within roughly two miles, and junctions for the M62 and M1 are a short drive — making commuting feasible.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (private supply) which carries running and delivery costs; broadband speeds are reported slow; council tax is high (Band G); and the local area has higher crime and deprivation indicators than average. The house has double glazing but install dates are unknown. Older properties of this era can need ongoing maintenance; buyers should budget for upkeep and confirm the condition of services, roof, electrics and heating before purchase.
For families or purchasers seeking a substantial country-style house close to Wakefield, the site offers immediate liveability with clear potential for renovation or partial redevelopment. The extensive grounds, conservatory and generous reception rooms provide a strong base for modernising to current standards while retaining period character.
