Summary - 1 ALMSHOUSE LANE NEWMILLERDAM WAKEFIELD WF2 7ST
4 bed 3 bath Character Property
Character-filled family home with large garden and countryside views, chain-free.
Four double bedrooms, three ensuites plus family bathroom
Woodmoor Cottage is a rare, stone-built family home dating from the 1780s, set close to Newmillerdam Country Park yet within easy reach of Wakefield and major road links. The house balances period character — exposed beams, Yorkshire stone chimneys and original fireplaces — with practical modern updates such as double glazing, gas central heating and a spacious kitchen-diner that opens onto distinct garden rooms. Large windows and a double-height sunroom bring countryside views into the heart of the home.
Accommodation is generous and versatile: four double bedrooms (three with ensuites), three reception rooms plus a kitchen-diner and a useful basement currently used as a gym/occasional bedroom. The property includes a single garage with parking in front, and plans have been drawn to widen the driveway for two cars side-by-side (note: no planning application submitted). The large, terraced garden is naturally elevated, offering privacy, seating areas and sweeping views over surrounding fields and woodland.
Important practical points: the house is freehold and chain-free, offering straightforward purchase potential for families or those relocating. It lies within the Newmillerdam conservation area, close to well-regarded schools, cafés and leisure facilities, and is excellent for commuting with fast broadband and strong mobile signal. Council Tax is at the higher band for the area.
Matters to note: the stone external walls are original and are assumed to lack cavity insulation; some further upgrading or insulation work may be desirable for long-term running costs. The driveway alteration would require planning permission. The basement room has lower-headroom characteristics typical of older properties and may not suit all uses. Overall, this is a spacious, character-filled family home that rewards sensitive updating while offering immediate practical living space.
