This expansive 8-bedroom residence offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, set across four levels and spanning nearly 8,500 square feet. The property's layout includes an indoor swimming pool, two double garages, and several outbuildings that present potential for development, subject to necessary planning permissions.
Nestled in the private grounds at the edge of Kirk Smeaton, a quaint village in the scenic Went Valley, the location is both tranquil and strategically positioned. While it boasts a semi-rural ambiance, residents benefit from easy access to major motorways like the A1, M62, and M18, making commutes to Leeds, York, Sheffield, and Doncaster straightforward. Local shopping options can be found in Ackworth just 3.5 miles away, which also hosts a celebrated independent school.
The interior features a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a generously sized principal reception room with views of a nearby nature reserve. The ground floor also includes a family dining kitchen equipped with quality cabinetry and integrated appliances plus an island finished with granite surfaces. Additional conveniences such as a fitted home office, guest cloakroom, and en-suite guest bedroom enhance livability.
The leisure suite is particularly noteworthy; it contains a heated swimming pool equipped with an automatic cover alongside amenities like a hot tub and sauna. The lower ground level has versatile spaces including a family games room and additional guest accommodations.
Ascending to the first floor reveals further impressive features: the principal bedroom includes both walk-in wardrobes and an en-suite bath/shower room complete with balcony access overlooking natural surroundings. Three additional bedrooms—two with en-suites—alongside another washroom complete this level. The second floor presents potential for conversion into self-contained living quarters if desired.
Outside, electric gates open onto tarmac driveway access leading to both integral and detached garages that house essential infrastructure like the Biomass heating system. Coupled with ample outbuildings—including former stables and an open barn—there is significant scope for those looking to create ancillary accommodation or dedicated workspaces or even cater to equestrian interests.
This property stands as a remarkable canvas for those interested in making their mark through renovation while capitalizing on its advantageous location and features.
