Lead In

A unique and characterful four-bedroom detached home with dual access, extensive private grounds, outstanding annex potential, and the possibility of an additional building plot – all in one of High Ackworth’s most desirable settings.

Thoughtfully designed and built approximately 40 years ago by a skilled local carpenter, Woodside is a truly individual family home featuring bespoke timber beams sourced from a local mill. The property combines distinctive craftsmanship with generous accommodation and exceptional future potential.

A major advantage is the dual access – a private driveway from Long Lane and a secondary entrance from Pontefract Road, each with its own postcode. This provides genuine flexibility for independent living or future development.
The large two-storey garage offers excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained granny flat or annex, with the secondary Pontefract Road entrance ideal for completely private access. The extensive grounds surrounding the house also present exciting scope for an additional building plot, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Entered via a spacious hallway with dark wooden floors and exposed beams, the property offers a warm and characterful living room with a large brick fireplace and wood-burning stove. A separate dining room opens onto the gardens, while the conservatory provides a light-filled link to the outside. The kitchen combines traditional and rustic elements with ample storage and a range cooker set within a brick archway. A useful utility room completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms benefit from the distinctive sloping ceilings and exposed beams. The principal bedroom has an en-suite, with a second en-suite serving another bedroom, plus a stylish family bathroom.

Approached via a sweeping private driveway from Long Lane, the house sits within beautifully maintained gardens featuring mature planting, a charming pond and a high degree of privacy. The secondary entrance from Pontefract Road remains available and offers independent access that would be ideal for a converted annex. The large two-storey garage provides substantial space on both floors and is perfectly positioned for conversion, subject to planning.

High Ackworth is one of the area’s most desirable villages, offering a strong sense of community, local shops, a supermarket, garden centre and well-regarded pubs. It is particularly popular with families thanks to the outstanding Ackworth School – a highly regarded co-educational independent day and boarding school (ages 21⁄2 to 19) located right in the village. Excellent transport links provide easy access to Pontefract, Wakefield, Doncaster, Leeds and the motorway network.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with genuine flexibility and significant future potential in one of High Ackworth’s most private and attractive settings. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
