Property description
**OPEN TO VIEW SATURDAY 12/09/2015 BETWEEN 2-4PM** HALL LANE, CHAPELTHORPE, WAKEFIELD, NEAR THE WELL KNOWN BEAUTY SPOT OF NEWMILLERDAM.
With a history spanning 200 years, Wellhead House was originally the laundry house to Chapelthorpe Hall. A sympathetic conversion and subsequent improvement have a created a substantial and elegant home with an excellent degree of privacy.
Situated at the head of Hall Lane, this stunning period home is approached by electric gates along a private drive that gently sweeps through beautifully maintained and well manicured gardens. The front of this fine house faces South East and enjoys a large paved terrace, which is slightly elevated and ideally placed to fully appreciate the care that has been lavished on the grounds. The front door opens into a spacious dining hall at the centre of the house. To one side there is a superbly proportioned living room with an office and a further sitting room/bedroom five with separate entrance of which could be utilised to help create a teenage/granny annex with separate entrance. To the other side there is a stylishly fitted kitchen that leads through into a gorgeous orangery overlooking the terrace providing excellent opportunity for entertaining. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a well appointed wet room/w.c. and a separate utility room. The first floor presented four well proportioned double bedrooms (the guest bedroom has en suite facilities) and a well appointed house bathroom/w.c.
Outside, the driveway culminates in a large parking/turning area and a double garage. Already a substantial home, it should be noted that the property benefits from a detailed planning consent (reference 07/03308/FUL) to replace the current garage with a larger triple garage, a gymnasium and an additional bedroom suite.
