Inside magnificent historic home with a restored air raid bunker among its features

An overview of the exceptional property for sale in a prime Pontefract location.

This unique detached home, set within a historic landmark building, has been carefully refurbished and is both luxurious and practical.

With exceptional family space, All Saints School House also lends itself well to entertaining, and is close to amenities in Pontefract town centre.

A Gothic-style door with stone arch opens to the reception hall, which leads on to a grand living room with beamed ceiling, that has a contemporary style media wall and a cast iron wood-burning stove within a brick fireplace.

There's a formal dining room with a panelled wall, mullion window and stone former fireplace, and this leads through to a beamed, yet contemporary style kitchen with fitted units and integrated dishwasher, that has an archway through to an adjoining breakfast room. This opens to a sheltered courtyard.

Further ground floor rooms include a utility, a home office with bespoke fitted furniture by Sharps, and a guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes, that is opposite a wet room.

A spacious games room with dado panelling can accommodate a full-size snooker table, and opens to the courtyard.

From the first floor gallery landing is a main bedroom with beams and trusses to the ceiling, fitted wardrobes, and a modern en suite shower room.

There are two further beamed bedrooms, and a shower room off an inner landing that leads out to a glazed bridge to the garden.

A spacious beamed lounge with wood burning stove, and media wall.

From a separate staircase are two further first floor bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

Automated double gates lead in to the property with block-paved parking and an electric car charging point.

To the rear is the courtyard, then an expansive lawned garden with shrub borders and mature trees.

A special feature is a former underground air raid bunker that has been restored to provide versatile space that could be used for anything from a home gym to storage.

The beamed kitchen links through to a breakfast room.

All Saints' School House was a charity school that opened around 1710. In 1816, the charity was converted to a national school and educated about 170 children.

This home in South Baileygate, Pontefract, is priced at £825,000, with Richard Kendall Estate Agent, Wakefield.
