The Nooking, Kirkhamgate

**3 THE NOOKING**
“The act of finding or creating a cosy, secluded place or corner.”

Tucked away on a private horseshoe-shaped lane within luscious greenbelt land, 3 The Nooking offers a rare balance of rural calm and contemporary convenience.
Originally built in the 1960s and thoughtfully extended and renovated over the past decade, this five-bedroom family home sits on the edge of the sought-after village of Kirkhamgate – a once-hamlet of Alverthorpe and now a quiet residential spot on the outskirts of Wakefield.
With open field views to the rear and a carefully considered interior layout that blends modern open plan living with rustic farmhouse warmth, the home lives up to the definition of its name.
Inside, light-filled spaces and high-quality finishes provide both practicality and style, while outside, you’re just moments from countryside walks and within easy reach of Leeds, Manchester and wider transport links.

A contemporary welcome
Set back from the road beyond a smart gravel drive offering off-street parking in addition to the integral garage, this contemporary home makes an immediate impression from the curb with its crisp lines, soft landscaping and attractive, charcoal-framed windows.
Step inside to a bright, welcoming hallway finished with warm oak herringbone flooring and clean white walls – a calm, well-proportioned space that sets the tone for the rest of the home.

A stylish renovation
The sophisticated engineered wood flooring flows through to the kitchen extension which was completed just four years ago. The open-plan layout flows seamlessly into the dining and snug areas, creating a sociable space that naturally draws people together. 
Framed by skylights and garden views through the sliding patio doors, the room is filled with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the soft tones of the shaker-style cabinetry which gives it a country farmhouse feel. 
An impressive Bertazzoni range oven set against a stainless-steel splashback and the large Belfast sink looking out to the garden adds to the charm, plus you’ll find a wine cooler and integrated appliances for easy modern living. Tucked away in the corner is the utility room offering extra storage, an internal door that opens into the garage and an external door with side access to the property – great for when you’re returning home with muddy boots!

For the cosy times
In contrast, the lounge is situated at the front of the house and is reserved for cosy days and winter evenings where the family gathers to watch a film with the log fire burning. The aesthetic is complementary to the kitchen, pairing rustic oak flooring with a whimsical floral feature wall and statement furniture. 

Versatile family living
Across the hallway is a similarly designed and almost identical proportioned room, which is used as both an office and a playroom. 
Featuring the same wooden flooring as the lounge, a traditional column radiator detail and a convenient W/C next door, this versatile space will work and evolve as you do. 

Masterful views
Chic oak internal doors feature throughout the property and continue upstairs leading into the rooms on the first floor. 
The master bedroom at the rear boasts enviable views of the garden and the rural fields beyond, maximised by the addition of a Juliette balcony with French doors above the kitchen. The generous bedroom space is minimalistic and calm. Clean white walls are punctuated with charcoal grey tall radiators and ceiling spotlights.  Enjoy the privacy of a luxury en-suite which features a shower enclosure, traditional W/C, corner sink and column radiator, finished with mosaic effect tiles. 
Bedroom five situated just across the landing from the master – makes it an ideal space for a nursery or quiet office space.

The perfect place to relax
The family bathroom was designed as a larger version of the master en-suite featuring a three-piece traditional white suite, boasting style continuity of the home. A large freestanding bathtub with stylish floor mounted taps, sits beneath the dormer window with a Velux skylight as the highlight of this room built for relaxing. 

Characterful children’s bedrooms
Completing the first floor are three further double bedrooms of equal proportions – each with their own character including children’s Scandi style feature walls and cosy reading corners created by the dormer windows. 

Surrounded by countryside
The rear garden is designed to be low maintenance and family friendly with the combination of a wide patio and the majority laid to lawn. 
The low fenced boundary is surrounded by rural countryside, offering desirable views from every angle. When the nights draw in and the fire pit is roaring, it’s just you under the stars with nature.
