Ground Floor
Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the sense of space and character throughout. The generous reception rooms provide flexibility for modern family life, whether you’re entertaining guests, enjoying cosy evenings in or creating dedicated spaces for working from home or children’s play.
The spacious living room centres around a striking stone fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming focal point, while the second reception room offers the flexibility to be used as a snug, home office, playroom or additional sitting room.
The separate dining room is ideal for family meals and entertaining, leading through to the bespoke oak kitchen, fitted with granite worktops, quality integrated appliances and plenty of storage. Designed as the heart of the home, it’s a space where family and friends naturally come together.
Beyond the kitchen, the conservatory enjoys lovely views across the south-facing garden and provides the perfect place to relax whatever the season.
First Floor
Upstairs are five generous double bedrooms, all full of character with exposed beams and original features, offering flexible accommodation for growing families, guests or those working from home.
Three well-appointed bathrooms ensure the home is perfectly suited to busy family life.
Lower Ground Floor
A substantial cellar runs beneath the property, offering fantastic additional space with endless possibilities. Whether you’re looking for a home gym, cinema room, games room, workshop, wine cellar or simply excellent storage, the space offers huge potential to adapt to your own lifestyle.
Outside
The south-facing rear garden has been designed with family life and entertaining in mind. Generous lawns provide space for children to play, while mature planting creates privacy and colour throughout the seasons.
A large Indian stone patio and traditional stone barbecue make this a fantastic space for summer entertaining, outdoor dining or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
To the front, the property benefits from private off-road parking.
Lifestyle & Location
One of The Corn Mill’s greatest attractions is its location.
Darton has become one of the area’s most desirable villages, offering an excellent range of everyday amenities alongside a thriving community atmosphere. Independent cafés, coffee shops, micro pubs, restaurants, local shops, supermarkets, beauty salons, GP surgery, dentists, opticians and both primary and secondary schools are all within easy reach. New leisure facilities, including padel courts, continue to enhance the village’s appeal.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, beautiful countryside walks begin almost from the front door, with easy access to open fields, riverside walks and the renowned Old Post Office pub. Bretton Country Park and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park are also close by, providing outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling and family days out.
Commuters are exceptionally well served. Darton railway station offers direct services to Leeds, Sheffield and Meadowhall, while nearby Wakefield provides fast rail connections to London and York. The M1 motorway is just minutes away, making commuting across Yorkshire and beyond both quick and convenient.
Whether you’re raising a family, working from home or simply looking for more space without sacrificing accessibility, The Corn Mill offers a lifestyle that’s increasingly difficult to find.
