The Old Church Hall is a truly distinctive and characterful detached home dating back to the 18th century. Formerly comprising a pair of semi detached properties and a church hall, the buildings have since been thoughtfully combined to create one impressive residence, which has been further enhanced by a substantial two storey extension to the side.

Sympathetically converted to retain its historic charm whilst providing spacious and versatile modern family accommodation, this is a property of considerable character and individuality. Benefitting from timber framed double glazed sash windows and gas central heating, the accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall leading into an impressive open plan kitchen diner, which in turn opens directly into the substantial living room. A trapdoor within the living room provides access to a useful storage area extending beneath the living room and kitchen. Also to the ground floor is a utility room, downstairs shower room and versatile fourth bedroom/sitting room, from which steps lead down to a tanked vaulted cellar. To the first floor are three further double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en suite shower room, together with the main house bathroom and generous additional storage. Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed garden area and Yorkshire stone driveway providing off road parking.

Situated in this prime part of Ossett, the property is well placed for a range of local amenities including shops and schools, with Ossett's twice-weekly market also within easy reach. The motorway network is readily accessible, making this an ideal location for those travelling further afield.

Only a full internal inspection will truly reveal the space, character and individuality this remarkable home has to offer. An early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this rare opportunity to acquire a unique piece of local history.

Why Should You Live Here? - What our vendor says about their property:
" We have thoroughly enjoyed living at The Old Church Hall. Before we had children, it was a wonderful home with an abundance of space, and as our family has grown, it has proved ideal. The generous space and flexibility of the property have suited every stage of family life. Vicar Lane, Ossett is a charming and characterful cul-de-sac with a warm, neighbourly atmosphere and a friendly yet peaceful community. Situated close to the local church and within easy reach of nearby playing fields, it enjoys an attractive setting surrounded by historic buildings and open spaces The stone-built homes are in keeping with the character and heritage of the Church and former infant school buildings, creating a distinctive and picturesque environment. One of the things we will miss is the community. The neighbours have been welcoming, helping to create a friendly and safe environment. For families, the nearby infant schools are particularly pleasant and have been a real benefit. From the kitchen and lounge there are fabulous open views across the valley towards the Emley Moor Mast, adding connection with the surrounding countryside. The Old Church Hall has been a truly special place to call home. "
