General Remarks:
Haddockstones Farm occupies a highly desirable setting on the edge of the Washburn Valley, standing on the hills above Farnley from where there are breathtaking views over Wharfedale – a location that successfully combines a rural ideal with excellent commuter links in to the Yorkshire business districts of Harrogate, Leeds and Bradford.

The farm has been in the same ownership since the 1980s and has been a much loved family home, offering spacious accommodation which extends to a little over of 3000 ft2 GIA. Traditional in layout, the house clearly lends itself to reconfiguration and improvement to suit an incoming owner's requirements.

It is relatively rare to be able to offer a rural home with a substantial landholding, with a mix of grassland and woodland being ideal for those with equestrian or farming interest. There is useful storage adjacent to the farmhouse along with a range of stabling and a detached workshop. The principal woodland is to the west of the main house and offer a fantastic amenity. Carpeted by bluebells in the spring, they form a simply delightful area within which to walk and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Farnley is a charming estate village just a couple of miles from Otley. The town is a vibrant and thriving community with its central market square playing host to a broad array of ‘high street’ and bustling independent shops. There are a couple of supermarkets within the town (including Waitrose), whilst sports and civic amenities cater for a variety of tastes and include the town's rugby and cricket clubs amongst others.
The surrounding countryside offers many an opportunity for rural pursuits, with the country lanes weaving through Wharfedale providing an excellent environment for road cycling.

Otley has a very popular secondary school, although private schools for children of all ages are within comfortable daily travelling distance. Leeds Bradford Airport is just 5 miles away, whilst stations at Weeton and Menston offer frequent services into Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate with frequent connections from the former to London King's Cross.
