Church Farm, Claypit Lane, Ledsham, West Yorkshire LS25

Church Farm occupies a prominent position in the centre of Ledsham, close to the village church and with open countryside to the rear. It is offered on the open market for the first time as a private residence for some 25 years. Despite its semi rural location, Ledsham is well placed for access to principal Yorkshire centres including those of Leeds, Selby and Wakefield and almost equidistant from the A1, M1 and M62 motorways. The village has a public house, parish church and there is a primary school in the neighbouring village of Ledston.

An internal inspection will reveal well proportioned living accommodation with a wealth of character features.

A most impressive reception hall with study area boasts a feature turned staircase leading up to a galleried landing. Arched oak doors lead through into a split level drawing room with music/library area, full height rustic brick chimney piece with carved pine fireplace surround and living flame gas fire, a wealth of exposed beams and French doors opening into the front garden.
