Set on a quiet, sought-after road in Burley in Wharfedale, this handsome 1935 double-fronted detached house provides spacious family living across 1,751 sq ft. Three separate reception rooms — each fitted for a stove or open fire — plus a large living/dining kitchen and utility create flexible ground-floor space for daily life and entertaining. The mature, fully enclosed gardens and larger-than-average detached garage give generous outdoor space and practical storage.
Five well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms and two bathrooms suit a growing family; the principal rooms retain attractive period features such as bay windows, parquet oak flooring and stained glass. The property sits within easy walking distance of shops, the station and outstanding local schools, and offers direct access to surrounding countryside and moorland walks.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: broadband speeds are relatively slow despite good mobile signal, cavity walls are assumed uninsulated (upgrade opportunity), and double glazing install date is unknown. Wrexham Road is unadopted; residents currently contribute £90pa towards its upkeep. Council Tax is Band F and will be a higher ongoing cost.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with strong village appeal, excellent gardens and commuting convenience. It will particularly suit buyers seeking period character combined with flexible family accommodation and outdoor space, and who are prepared to modernise thermal efficiency and technology where desired.
