5 bed house for sale Woodlands Drive, Rawdon, LS19

A truly exceptional late-1800s stone residence, combining striking period architecture, contemporary design and an enviably private woodland setting. Extensively modernised while retaining an abundance of original character, this remarkable five-bedroom home offers a wonderfully individual approach to modern living, with an inspired upside-down layout that places the bedrooms on the ground floor and the principal living spaces above. The first floor is the real showpiece, with dramatic pitched and barrelled ceilings, exposed stonework, original beams and roof windows creating an impressive sense of volume and atmosphere. An outstanding bespoke kitchen diner, cosy wood-burning-stove snug, formal dining room and substantial lounge provide exceptional spaces for both relaxed family life and entertaining. Outside, the property is equally impressive, approached through electric timber gates and surrounded by mature trees and adjoining woodland. There is parking for up to six vehicles, a detached stone garage, landscaped gardens, an elevated entertaining terrace and a dedicated kitchen garden. Private, characterful and highly versatile, this is a home with genuine individuality and a wonderfully peaceful setting.
