Wood House, Wood Street, Wakefield

Occupying a commanding position on Wood Street, Wood House is one of Wakefield's most distinctive homes. Once the residence of the former Superintendent, this exceptional period building has been thoughtfully restored and beautifully reimagined, seamlessly combining its rich heritage with the quality, comfort and efficiency expected of contemporary living.
Situated within one of Wakefield's most distinctive neighbourhoods and accessed through a gated entrance, the property showcases elegant proportions, high ceilings and impressive original-style sash windows that flood each room with natural light.

Arranged over multiple floors, the accommodation offers beautifully balanced living and entertaining spaces, designed to adapt effortlessly to modern lifestyles. High ceilings, generous room proportions and thoughtfully curated interiors provide an immediate sense of space, light and understated luxury.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed bespoke kitchen, where timeless cabinetry is paired with bespoke work surfaces and a full suite of integrated Smeg appliances, including an induction hob with downdraft extractor, oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler. Designed for everyday family life as much as entertaining, it is a space that can be enjoyed by everyone.

The lower ground floor offers exceptional versatility, lending itself perfectly to a family room, cinema room, home office, gym or guest suite, allowing the accommodation to evolve with changing lifestyles.

The upper floors continue the home's flexible design, offering four beautifully proportioned bedrooms alongside an option for an additional reception space that could equally serve as a second sitting room depending on individual requirements. Throughout, luxury flooring, elegant finishes and carefully selected fixtures create a calm, contemporary aesthetic while remaining sympathetic to the building's historic character.

The stylish bathrooms are finished with contemporary white sanitary ware, chrome fittings, heated towel rails and porcelain wall and floor tiling, creating luxurious spaces with a timeless appeal.

Outside, the private landscaped courtyard garden provides a peaceful retreat, thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance living and effortless outdoor entertaining. Two allocated parking spaces and an EV charging point complete this exceptional
