A SUBSTANTIAL AND BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED SIX-BEDROOM FAMILY HOME WITH LANDSCAPED GARDENS, EXCEPTIONAL ENTERTAINING SPACE, AND HIGH-END FINISHES THROUGHOUT
Built in 2018 and impeccably maintained since, this impressive six-bedroom detached residence occupies a desirable position in the popular village of Shelf. Offering generous proportions across two floors, the property combines contemporary design with thoughtful, high-quality finishes to create a home perfectly suited to modern family life.
From the moment you arrive, the property makes a strong impression. A spacious driveway provides parking for up to five vehicles alongside an integral double garage, while the landscaped rear garden creates a private and inviting outdoor retreat. Inside, the home has been designed with both everyday comfort and entertaining in mind, with light-filled interiors and a flowing layout that centres around a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space.
GROUND FLOOR
A glazed entrance door opens into a striking, light-filled entrance hall where tiled flooring and a generous sense of space set the tone for the accommodation beyond. A staircase rises to the first floor with useful understairs storage beneath.
The lounge provides a warm and inviting retreat, complete with plush carpeting, a log-burning stove, and dual-aspect windows including a bay window that fills the room with natural light.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area, a beautifully designed space created by opening through into the former dining room. With cornicing detail and stylish tiled flooring, the room offers exceptional space for both dining and relaxed seating, making it ideal for family gatherings or entertaining guests.
Two sets of doors connect seamlessly with the garden - French doors and bifold doors - allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend effortlessly during the warmer months.
The kitchen itself is finished with sleek white gloss wall, base, and drawer units complemented by contrasting wood-effect work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Zanussi electric double oven, induction hob with extractor hood, fridge freezer, and dishwasher, alongside the added luxury of an instant boiling water tap.
A separate utility room provides space and plumbing for laundry appliances, additional storage cupboards, and a door leading out to the garden. From here there is also access to a ground-floor WC and the integral double garage.
Electric underfloor heating with independent thermostats in the hallway and open-plan living kitchen adds further comfort to the ground floor.

Several further double bedrooms offer flexibility for family living or guests, many enjoying views over the garden. A stylish Jack and Jill ensuite serves two of the bedrooms and is beautifully finished with wood-effect flooring and a double rainfall shower with additional manoeuvrable attachment.
The family bathroom is well appointed with a bath, separate shower, toilet, and sink.
In addition to the generous double bedrooms, a further room currently used as a study provides ideal space for home working or could equally serve as a sixth bedroom or nursery. A useful storage cupboard completes the first floor.

For commuters, the location is particularly well placed, with straightforward access to the M62 motorway network connecting Leeds, Manchester, and beyond.
Within the development itself, residents benefit from a well-maintained communal green space, creating a pleasant area for families, dog walking, and informal recreation just moments from the doorstep. The upkeep of this communal park is managed by Gateway Property Management and maintained through an annual residents' fee, payable on 1st January each year. For 2026, this amounted to ?367.
