Working from home - a property with potential

Working from home has never been as popular, or as easy to accomplish. Modern technology and an integrated transport network means we can be connected to clients and suppliers around the world with ease and at a minimum cost and inconvenience.

An office-based career is particular easy to manage. But what if you want something more ambitious? This outstanding four-bedroom, Grade II listed, stone detached former school is a beautiful home or would also suit itself to offices, a restaurant or other varieties of commercial use subject to planning permissions, none of which have been sought or applied for.

The property at Watergate, in the village of Methley near Wakefield is believed to date back to 1637 and was constructed by John Saville who's reputed to have been equerry to Elizabeth I. It was used as the local village school until 1881, and sympathetically restored by the present owners.

It has retained outstanding period features including exposed beams, exposed stone walling, stone mullion leaded light windows, oak doors and extensive oak panelling.

The accommodation briefly comprises; reception hall, guest WC, lounge through to an extensive dining kitchen with a large open fire, utility room, gardener's WC, elegant drawing room, first floor landing, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, guest suite with en-suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and house bathroom. The gardens are fully enclosed by period stone walling, and there is a large cobbled driveway leading to a double garage and courtyard to the rear.
