Note from the homeowner :
"Over 40 years ago we looked for a unique, well built, detached house in a good position to make a family home. We fell in love with this house, perfectly positioned on a road full of character with individual houses that rarely came on the market. The lounge was a haven to unwind in. Cool in summer and warm in winter, with views of the Rookeries ever changing with the seasons. Our children and grandchildren were able to play safely in the garden and run around on the Green next door.
Over the years we have added to the building. The spacious conservatory offered a peaceful spot to enjoy the garden and watch the seasons change. The kitchen was our hub where family meals took place full of chatter from our children, and later, our grandchildren.
The house is close to the historic market town centre of Pontefract and the major outlet centre of Junction 32 and Xscape entertainment centre are virtually on the doorstep. The M62 and A1 are close by making for easy access to local towns, cities and even Lancashire.
There are many leisure facilities in the area plus the fantastic Yorkshire countryside and historic places to explore with your family. “
