Secluded luxury home on a very large woodland plot for family living.
Former gatehouse with strong period character and exposed beams
Hudworth Gatehouse is a striking former gatehouse restored into a luxurious four-bedroom detached home set within private ancient woodland. The house combines heritage features—exposed beams, original brickwork and period character—with contemporary fittings such as Amtico flooring, underfloor heating to the ground floor and high-spec kitchen appliances. Large skylights and a bright garden room create strong indoor–outdoor connections and woodland views.
The layout suits family life and flexible working: three reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/diner, a sunroom and a loft with heating and power offering conversion potential. Outside, a very large plot, landscaped pathways, a block-paved patio and parking for six-plus vehicles deliver privacy and useful outdoor space. Practical extras include an EV charging point, integrated CCTV and plentiful external power points.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the house is heated by an LPG boiler (private supply), broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the local area records above-average crime — factors to consider for connectivity and running costs. The property is freehold, recently renovated, and retains solid-wall construction with internal insulation.
Overall, this is a rare, characterful home for buyers seeking a secluded, high-spec residence in a village setting. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting a statement property with scope to tailor the loft and grounds further.
