Read the full agent description
As the photographs show this is one of the town's finest Victorian properties with much of the inherent character and elegance being retained. The property was built in 1898 in an 'arts and crafts' style designed by famous Otley architect, Alfred Marshall.
Character features including stained glass windows, plaster work and exposed fireplaces including a handsome Yorkshire Range remain intact, yet the house has been extensively modernised with up-to-date services including a gas fired central heating system.
Downstairs, a handsome hallway is entered via a feature front door and leads past an elegant sitting room and dining area/snug to a large kitchen split into cooking and dining areas with the aforementioned Range. To the upper storey are four double bedrooms, house bathroom and separate WC. To the lower ground floor is a useful area with workshop, central portion utility and store
The property has driveway parking with a small garden to the front, whilst the majority of grounds are found to the rear with lawns, well established trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders.
There is a pond with an adjacent decked area, a large potting shed and a fully insulated recently built garden office/summer house with heating and internet points. The garden adjoins and overlooks open fields enclosed by a dry stone wall and hedges. To the side of the house there is also a very useful cycle shed.
Situated in a much sought after area, conveniently placed for local amenities and a lovely outlook over adjoining open fields, protected as part of Leeds Greenbelt and Special Landscape Area with easy access to Otley Chevin Park. Waitrose supermarket and Otley’s wide array of central amenities are readily accessible and this thriving market town is surrounded by picturesque Wharfedale countryside. The commercial centres of Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and York are within daily commuting distance, either by car, bus or the nearby rail service at Menston train station. For those wishing to travel further afield, Leeds Bradford International Airport is only a short drive away.
