Rosedale Close, Baildon

Bank Top Farm is offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years, presenting an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive period home. Combining characterful original features with thoughtfully integrated modern touches, this unique property is certain to appeal to buyers seeking something special.

Formerly a working cattle farm and believed to be one of the original dwellings in the area, Bank Top Farm occupies a commanding and enviable position, standing proudly within its generous surroundings. Extending to circa 1,800 sq. ft. of well-proportioned accommodation, the property offers both space and versatility for modern family living.

One of its most remarkable attributes is its elevated setting, enjoying far-reaching views across protected woodland and the picturesque valley beyond. The peaceful outlook, coupled with the property's rich history and individuality, creates a home of considerable charm and character that is seldom found on the open market.

The accommodation is arranged over four levels and briefly comprises, to the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hallway, a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room featuring a solid wood fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, together with an open fire and cosy seating area creating the perfect heart of the home. There is also a useful pantry, guest W.C., and two generous reception rooms, both enjoying delightful elevated views across the surrounding countryside and woodland.

The lower ground floor is accessed via two separate staircases. One leads to a well-proportioned study, ideal for those working from home, while the other provides access to a practical utility room and a superb garden room with bi-folding doors opening directly onto the gardens, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. There is a second double bedroom with access to a useful boarded loft room, a well-sized single bedroom with built-in storage, and a stylish house bathroom serving the remaining accommodation.

Externally, the property stands within gardens extending to approximately 0.2 acres, offering a wonderful balance of space, privacy and outdoor enjoyment. The principal garden lies to the rear, comprising a substantial lawned area with a picturesque woodland backdrop, creating a peaceful and secluded setting. Mature, well-stocked borders provide year-round colour and interest, while the garden's favourable aspect ensures it enjoys sunshine throughout the day.

Designed with both relaxation and family living in mind, the outdoor space includes a generous decked terrace with a timber-covered seating area, a paved patio adjoining the garden room, and ample space for children's play equipment. A gated access point leads directly onto the public footpath which runs the length of Baildon Bank, providing immediate access to a wealth of scenic countryside walks.

To the front, the property is approached via an extensive gravel driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles and offering ample space for a motorhome or caravan. Complementing the outdoor space is a substantial stone-built garage and adjoining workshop, ideal for hobbyists, storage or those requiring additional workspace. Further features include paved pathways, additional lawned areas, a pond, various decked seating areas and a timber canopy currently housing a hot tub.

Bank Top Farm offers a unique opportunity for discerning purchasers seeking a lifestyle property with genuine charm. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of accommodation, remarkable setting and exceptional outdoor space on offer.
