FOR SALE – NO UPPER CHAIN
The Former Corn Mill – A Landmark 5-Bedroom Residence in Darton
An extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Darton’s history — this stunning stone-built five-bedroom detached home, formerly the village’s corn mill, is believed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in the area. Sympathetically restored over the past two decades, the property now offers over 3,000 sq ft of exquisitely presented accommodation, blending period charm with modern luxury.

This rare home is brimming with character, from exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces to Yorkshire stone floors and hand-finished architectural details. The heart of the property is a bespoke handcrafted kitchen, complete with granite worktops, a central island, and a suite of premium integrated appliances — all opening into a bright conservatory overlooking the gardens.

Multiple reception rooms offer flexibility for family living and entertaining, including a formal dining room, a characterful lounge with French doors to the patio, and a converted family room/snug with access to a vaulted cellar, currently used as a home gym. A separate utility and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside, with two luxurious bathrooms — including a spa-style walk-in shower and a freestanding roll-top bath — serving the home.

Outside, the property sits behind a gated entrance with a generous block-paved driveway. To the rear, a beautifully landscaped southwest-facing garden provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, complete with Indian stone patio, lawned areas, and a brick-built outbuilding for additional storage. A private gate offers direct access to scenic walking routes across Longfields.

Ideally located on the edge of Darton village, the home enjoys both rural charm and superb connectivity. Darton railway station is just moments away, offering direct links to Leeds, Sheffield and Wakefield (with London connections via Wakefield Westgate). The M1 motorway is also easily accessible, making this a highly commutable yet peaceful setting. Local amenities, schools, shops, and well-regarded pubs and restaurants are all close at hand.

This is a truly unique home of exceptional quality, where heritage meets contemporary living.
