Characterful four-bedroom home with south-facing garden and approved garden room extension..
Stone-built detached cottage with lake views
Set on a large, private plot with far-reaching views over Newmillerdam Lake, this stone-built four-bedroom detached house offers adaptable family space across three floors. Ground-floor reception rooms include a bay-fronted living room, dining room and a snug/breakfast room that flows into a well-equipped kitchen. A lower-ground level provides a utility room, home office and shower room with direct garden access — useful for muddy boots and dogs after walks in the nearby Country Park.
The south-facing tiered garden and stone paved patio capture daytime sun and privacy, while the pebbled driveway and detached stone garage provide parking for two to three vehicles. Planning permission has been granted for a garden room with rooftop terrace (Wakefield Council ref: 24/00919/FUL), presenting straightforward scope to increase living space and take full advantage of the lake views.
Practical details: the property is freehold, has mains gas central heating to radiators, double glazing updated after 2002 and an EPC rating of D62. The multi-level layout and lower-ground floor may be less suitable for those with limited mobility. Buyers should note the council tax band is D and some upkeep of the traditional stone exterior and mature gardens will be required to maintain the cottage character.
This home will appeal to families or buyers seeking a characterful property close to outdoor amenities and good transport links. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the outlook, room proportions and the potential the approved extension offers.
