{"primary_description": "A rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful four-bedroom detached barn conversion set within approximately 0.3 acres in the picturesque village of Little Smeaton. Dating back to the early 1700s, Rivermead enjoys private access to the River Went and offers a wonderful blend of historic charm, privacy, and idyllic countryside living.

LOCATION

Little Smeaton is a charming and highly regarded rural village set within the picturesque Went Valley in North Yorkshire. Nestled on the banks of the River Went and surrounded by beautiful countryside, the village offers a peaceful setting while remaining well connected to nearby towns and amenities.

The neighbouring village of Kirk Smeaton, just across the river, provides a range of everyday amenities including a well-regarded primary school, village pub, and community facilities, contributing to the strong sense of community shared between the two villages.

The area is popular with those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, with excellent road links providing access to Pontefract, Doncaster, and the wider Yorkshire region, while scenic walking routes, nature reserves, and open countryside are all within easy reach.

EXTERIOR

Front

The front consists of a large driveway which can comfortably accommodate up to five vehicles. The detached garage features an electric door with a separate access to the right, and can accommodate another two vehicles if needed. The garage also enjoys an upper floor which has been used as a workshop previously. The garage is substantial and could possibly be converted into an annexe in future. The driveway is enclosed by a high hedge line for added privacy and is decorated with floral borders.

Rear

A very generous space, consisting of approximately 0.3 acres of very well kept grassland, full of trees, an array of flowers and wildlife in the warmer months and a very rare feature is the gently flowing river which runs through the garden. The garden is like something you would read about in a fairytale\u2026 no photos, or words will likely do this space justice unfortunately (although we will try). The space should be viewed to be truly appreciated.
