Stunning dining kitchen with Quartz worktops and bright skylights
Detached summer house/home office plus four additional outbuildings

Some signs of damp/maintenance and overall refurbishment potential required
Assbridge Lodge is a substantial four-bedroom period home set within approximately 0.4 acres of mature, landscaped grounds in the sought-after village of Aberford. The house combines original Victorian character—dormer windows, multi-fuel fire and solid brick walls—with generous contemporary living spaces, including a stunning dining kitchen with Quartz worktops and a bright living room with a wood-burning stove. Multiple reception rooms and large bedrooms give flexible space for family life.
The plot is a major asset: wraparound gardens, a pond, vegetable patches, raised patios and a secluded clearing for a fire pit or play area. A detached summer house provides ready-made home office space and there are several outbuildings (one a former stable) offering workshop or conversion potential subject to planning. Secure gated access leads to generous off-street parking and a double carport with an EV charging point.
Practical considerations are set out plainly. The property is heated by an LPG boiler with radiator heating and is served by a private septic tank. The house is solid brick (original construction 1900–1929) with no known cavity insulation, and there are signs the dwelling may need ongoing maintenance or targeted refurbishment in places (external/roof/possible local damp in a character property). Council tax is high. These points mean upkeep and running costs should be factored into any purchase decision.
Located in a very affluent, well-connected village with good primary schooling and easy access to the A1(M) and Leeds, this home will suit a family seeking substantial internal space, private gardens and outbuildings, or a buyer wanting countryside living with scope to adapt and improve. The combination of period charm, contemporary kitchen/living spaces and a large plot makes this a rare opportunity in LS25.
