Featherstone Hall , Faviell Gardens, Featherstone, Pontefract

A Home Steeped in History

Featherstone Hall is the last remaining of four grand homes that once defined this village. The land it stands upon carries a thousand years of recorded history, first listed in the Domesday Book when it belonged to Norman lords and later to poets, knights, industrialists and physicians. Each era has left its mark, creating a place rich in heritage yet quietly contemporary in spirit.

Today, that story continues in a home that blends history with modern family living. Behind electric gates and framed by landscaped gardens, Featherstone Hall stands as both elegant and welcoming. A home with presence, warmth and poise.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a WC, two reception rooms and underfloor heating throughout, Featherstone Hall brings together elegance, heritage and comfort. Every finish feels carefully chosen, every space thoughtfully composed.

A Gracious Welcome

Electric gates open to a broad driveway, where neat lawns and soft planting frame the approach. The stone façade, symmetrical and full of character, sets a calm and confident tone. A paved terrace beside the front garden creates a natural pause point, perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the day draws to a close.

The Hall and Heart of the Home

The entrance hall sets the tone, balanced, light and beautifully detailed. Underfloor heating runs seamlessly beneath herringbone flooring, combining modern comfort with timeless design. Beneath the sweeping staircase, bespoke cabinetry offers elegant practicality with storage for coats and shoes.

The guest WC mirrors the home's overall refinement. Stone effect tiling, a contemporary vanity and brushed-brass fittings transform a functional space into something quietly luxurious.

The kitchen and dining area form the true heart of the home. A generous island anchors the room, bringing family and friends together in a space that feels both sociable and serene. Dove grey cabinetry and an ebony island sit beneath high ceilings with brushed brass hardware adding warmth and refinement., the marble style work surfaces catching the light.

Tall sash windows draw natural light into the room, one above the sink with an elegant bay window in the dining area, highlighting the home's period proportions. Integrated appliances, a boiling water tap and a generous pantry bring function and flow, while carefully layered lighting allows the room to shift in mood from bright mornings to relaxed evenings.

Evenings by the Fire

From the main hallway, the lounge introduces a slower pace. A feature fireplace with a wood burning stove anchors the room, casting a warm glow across herringbone flooring and soft fawn toned walls.

A second bay window captures the daylight, while a glazed door opens directly to the garden terrace, connecting indoors and out with an easy rhythm. This is a room made for quiet evenings, slow conversations and simple moments of peace.

Soak and Sleep

The staircase rises to a bright landing where soft tones and elegant detailing continue the home's refined flow. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms sit gracefully arranged, each with a sense of calm and considered design.

The Principal Bedroom

The principal bedroom feels indulgent and intimate. Soft wall tones wrap the space in warmth, while the tall ceiling, paneled sash windows and crisp cornicing add a quiet grandeur. Soft lighting and rich textured fabrics shift the mood from morning brightness to evening calm.

It's a room designed for unhurried living, slow weekend mornings, a quiet cup of coffee by the window, or restful evenings spent reading. Underfoot, polished chestnut herringbone flooring grounds the room's luxurious tone.

Through a discreet doorway, the walk in wardrobe extends the feeling of boutique luxury. Tailored cabinetry in rich finishes keeps every detail organised and composed.

The adjoining en-suite carries the same sense of refinement. Tiled floor to ceiling in marble effect porcelain, it features a walk in shower, brushed brass fittings and an illuminated vanity mirror that completes the calm, contemporary aesthetic.

Spaces for Rest and Imagination

The second bedroom sits to the front of the home, generous in size and softly dressed, perfect for guests or children. Its decor balances style and comfort with warm tones and gentle lighting.

The third bedroom offers versatility, ideal as a study, nursery or creative space. Every detail reflects the home's quality, from solid flooring to soft neutral finishes.

Relax and Refresh

The main bathroom feels serene and indulgent, tiled in pale stone porcelain with brushed-brass accents. A deep freestanding bath, double vanity and walk in shower sit harmoniously together, complemented by underfloor heating that brings subtle comfort.

Step Outside

The garden extends privately to the front of the house and has been designed for ease and enjoyment. A paved terrace offers the perfect setting for dinner outdoors, while the surrounding lawns and raised planters provide greenery and calm. It's a secure, peaceful space for both play and relaxation, linking the home naturally to the outdoors.
