“Everyone always comments on what a pretty house it is, and we’ve done our

very best to return it to it’s former glory. We did

everything very sympathetically, taking care to

preserve all of the lovely original features, but

it has now been brought right up to modern

standards. Our favourite part of the house is

probably the kitchen area. It has a huge bank

of French doors that open out onto an elevated

decked area that has the most fantastic views;

it’s a great feature of the house.”

vendor


insight“What I particularly love about this house is the fact all the reception rooms are large and have very high ceilings, so it’s very spacious and light and bright, but at the

same time has a very cosy feel.”


“Our location is fabulous. Cawthorne is a very desirable village that has some lovely shops and a very friendly pub, but we’re just on the

outskirts, nestled in the countryside, so we really have the best of

both worlds. The decked area has the most fantastic views. It’s a lovely place to sit

out while children play in the garden, or in the evening with a glass of wine....it’s a

fabulous space for entertaining”

“We were living in Wakefield before we moved here just over ten years ago, but we decided that we wanted a bit of a lifestyle change and so we began searching for a property in a more

rural setting, somewhere with a bit of land for the dogs to run around in and room to keep some chickens. When we first drove up to visit the house it was clearly in need of some care and attention, but we

both completely fell in love with it the minute we set eyes on it.”
