Offered with no onward chain.
A stunningly located and exceptionally versatile eco-friendly family home, originally built by the parents of the current owners in 2008 and subsequently designed and developed by the current owners, occupying a truly spectacular position overlooking the beautiful Fairburn Ings. Enjoying breathtaking southerly views across this renowned wildlife haven, the property is set within a picturesque village overlooking the cricket ground, combining an idyllic countryside setting with excellent accessibility to the A1 and M62 motorways and being approximately 10 miles east of Leeds.


This unique and substantial three-storey home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both the outstanding views and the benefits of modern, energy-efficient living. A range of eco-friendly and cost-effective features include ground source heat pumps, an air ventilation system, solar panels generating quarterly payments from electricity sold back to the Grid, rainwater storage tanks collecting and storing water for use within the home and garden, double glazing and a domestic Klargester treatment plant.
The exceptionally versatile accommodation can be adapted to suit a wide variety of lifestyles and family requirements. The principal living accommodation takes full advantage of the spectacular outlook, with a large south-facing balcony accessed from both the lounge and dining room, providing a wonderful space for entertaining or simply enjoying the ever-changing views across the Ings.
The double guest bedroom, together with its adjoining shower room, could readily be utilised as a self-contained guest suite. The extensive lower ground floor offers further flexibility, with space for two additional bedrooms or, alternatively, a family room and playroom/home office. Additional rooms could provide an excellent gym, cinema or media room, making this a home that can evolve with the needs of its next owners.
Externally, there is garaging for three cars together with extensive driveway parking. The private, established gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and enjoy the wonderful outlook towards Fairburn Ings, with a selection of established apple, pear, fig and other fruit trees.
The location is particularly well suited to those who need to commute, with excellent access to the A1 and M62, providing convenient links towards Leeds, York, Wakefield and the wider motorway network. Leeds city centre is approximately 10 miles to the west, whilst Doncaster is also readily accessible, providing access to the East Coast Main Line and fast rail services to London, making the property particularly appealing to those who need to combine a rural home life with regular travel to the capital.

The popular local primary school is within easy walking distance, with secondary schooling available at Sherburn and Pontefract, both easily reached by car or bus.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, everyday amenities are within easy reach.
