Introducing an exceptional opportunity to own a unique four - bedroom bungalow,
situated in a serene countryside location. Nestled down a tranquil lane, this
property boasts picturesque views of fields and woodland, offering a peaceful
retreat from the busy world.
Steeped in history, the bungalow is part of the renowned Gateforth Hall
estate, originally built in the early 19th century as a shooting lodge. Its
rich past adds to the charm and character of the home, making it a truly
special place to reside.
Gateforth Hall itself was built between 1812 and 1814 for Humphrey Brook
Osbaldeston as a shooting lodge for his surrounding estate. Humphrey
Osbaldeston was the Sheriff of York in 1781 and died at the age of 90 in 1835.
The estate was sold to the City of Leeds in 1897 and was subsequently used for
a variety of purposes, one of which being the tb Hospital and the bungalows
surrounding the hall were used as nurses’ quarters.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall that leads into a
generously sized lounge, adorned with beautiful wooden beams and featuring a
balcony above the double garage. From here, you can immerse yourself in the
breathtaking scenery and enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. The
lounge also benefits from wooden beams and a multi - fuel log burner, creating
an inviting and cozy atmosphere.
Continuing through the hallway, you will find a versatile fourth bedroom or
separate dining room, offering stunning views of the surrounding fields and
woodlands. The modern kitchen/diner boasts a bespoke wooden kitchen, built - in
appliances, and a Belfast sink. A large utility area, separate toilet, and
boiler room provide further convenience, with access to the rear of the
property.
Further down, the inner hallway reveals three double bedrooms, all offering
captivating views, and a spacious family bathroom complete with a bath and
separate shower.
Outside, the property exudes charm and tranquillity, surrounded by an
assortment of stunning plants, shrubs, and bushes on multi - level grounds. The
back of the garden, with its lawned area and paved patio, presents an ideal
space to relax and unwind. The presence of a greenhouse allows for the
cultivation of plants, while well - established trees and plants further enhance
the beauty of the grounds.
The property is situated on approximately 0. 7 acres of land and benefits from
a double garage, stables, and a workshop and has two separate entrances, one
of which can be accessed from Meadows Park and main one from the Gateforth
Hall, Hillam Road. It also benefits from double glazed wooden windows, oil

Yorkshire Water. The double garage is equipped with power and light. The
stables to the front of the property provide additional storage space. The
workshop at the back of the property offers potential for development into an
annex, boasting double - skin construction, power and light (subject to planning
consent).
Gateforth Hall is part of a small hamlet on the outskirts of Gateforth
village, offering a peaceful and idyllic setting. Conveniently located, the
