About this home
The Deceptively Spacious Three-Storey Family Home You've Been Waiting For: Situated in the highly sought-after village of Carleton, this four-bedroom semi-detached home is a masterclass in versatile living. From the outside, it is a charming, well-maintained residence; however, step inside and you'll discover an expansive interior spread across three impressive levels.
With three generous double bedrooms, a bright conservatory, and a private rear garden that isn't overlooked, this property is perfectly suited for growing families looking for that extra bit of "elbow room" in a premium Pontefract location.
Why You'll Love This Home: Three Levels of Living: A professional loft conversion has created a large bedroom suite on the second floor (the third level) with its own private WC.
Outdoor Sanctuary: A private, enclosed rear garden that offers total peace, backed by greenery rather than other houses.
Storage Galore: Features a spacious modern kitchen, a large hallway storage cupboard, and two brick-built storage sheds for the ultimate workshop or garden storage.
Future Proofed: The top-floor WC already has plumbing in place, allowing you to easily convert it into a full en-suite shower room.
Premier Location: Nestled in Carleton, you are within walking distance of the "Outstanding" Carleton Park J&I School and the highly-regarded Carleton High School.
A Room-By-Room Tour: Ground Floor: Flow and Function
The entrance hall features a useful storage cupboard, leading into a bright Living Room anchored by a modern white feature fireplace. This flows seamlessly into the Dining Room, creating a dual-aspect living space that feels airy and open.
From the dining room, sliding doors lead you into the Conservatory. This large, sun-drenched room acts as a second lounge, with a side door opening onto the timber decking—perfect for morning coffee or summer BBQs. The Kitchen is a contemporary, well-appointed space fitted with white cabinetry and dark slate-effect tiling.
First Floor: Family Comfort
On the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom One is a spacious double with dual windows overlooking the front. Bedroom Two is another comfortable double, while Bedroom Four features a clever built-in single bed to maximise floor space, making it an ideal child's room or guest space. The Family Bathroom features crisp white tiling and a shower-over-bath, with a Separate WC conveniently located next door.
Second Floor: The Master Retreat
The crowning jewel of the home is the Second Floor (Third Level) Bedroom. This is a vast, light-filled suite featuring a Velux window to one side and a large dormer to the other, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. It currently boasts its own Private WC, which was designed with future-proofing in mind; the plumbing is already in place to upgrade this to a full en-suite if desired.
Outside & Location: The Front Garden is beautifully manicured with mature hedging for privacy and a gated side path. To the rear, the garden is a true highlight—private, secure, and not overlooked from the rear aspect. It features a lush lawn and a raised timber deck tucked to the side. Practicality is covered by two brick-built sheds, providing robust storage that far exceeds a standard timber shed.
The Area:
Carleton is Pontefract's most desirable suburb, offering a village feel with town convenience.
Schools: Catchment for top-tier primary and secondary schools.
Transport: Excellent links to the M62, A1(M), and M1.
Rail: Minutes away from Pontefract Tanshelf and Monkhill stations for direct trains to Leeds and Wakefield.
Amenities: Local pubs, shops, and the beautiful Pontefract Park are all within easy reach.
