Dandy Mill Farm, Pontefract, WF8 2JX

Dating back to the early-to-mid 19th century, this remarkable period home forms part of the historic Dandy Mill site and offers around 3,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation alongside an impressive collection of traditional outbuildings and the iconic Grade II listed windmill.

Having been thoughtfully updated over the years, the property successfully blends original features including stained glass, Victorian tiled flooring, high ceilings and traditional joinery with the comforts expected for modern family life.

The result is a home that feels equally suited to busy family living as it does entertaining friends, while its unusual dual-staircase layout offers flexibility that is rarely found.

It's not often you find a home where the outside is every bit as memorable as the inside.

From the gardens and courtyard to the historic windmill and extensive range of traditional outbuildings, Dandy Mill Farm offers a setting that's as distinctive as the house itself.
