Property description
An impressive five bedroom detached stone built family residence that has evolved from what was once The Boat House to Woolley Manor, set in a wonderful private position in beautiful landscaped gardens that extend to around 0.45 hectares ( 1.1 acres). The property itself has a total footage of 4024 square feet (374 square metres).
With a spacious and light feel, this thoughtfully designed home has a modest everyday entrance hall to the side with a walk-in cloaks cupboard and separate guest w.c. The hub of this comfortable house is the spacious L-shaped breakfast kitchen with an Aga and French doors onto the garden courtyard. The separate dining room leads through into the everyday living room that could also be used as a formal reception hallway if desired. There is a further sitting room that has French doors leading out to a decked sitting area taking full advantage of the views over the gardens. Enjoying similar views is a guest suite with a broad range of fitted furniture as well as a separate dressing room leading through into a lavishly appointed en suite bathroom, which in turn has French doors leading out onto a private enclosed area which houses a hot tub. There is a separate well proportioned bedroom, also on the ground floor, that is served by a family bathroom. The first floor presents a stunning master suite which has a Juliet balcony taking full advantage of the views, as well as a thoughtfully planned and spacious en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor which are served by a well proportioned house bathroom. To the lower ground floor there is a large utility/laundry room which leads through into a spacious multi-purpose room, ideal for use as a gymnasium or home cinema. The lower ground floor has potential to be used as a separate annex with its own external access to the rear.
The property is approached via electric gates that lead onto a winding driveway that culminates in a wide parking/turning area which also has a detached triple garage. To the front of the property there is a lovely cobbled courtyard which leads through to an expansive decked entertaining area, taking full advantage of the fine views over beautiful landscaped gardens.
The property occupies an enviable location in this highly sought after area less than six miles to the south of Wakefield city centre.
