Generous gardens, flexible rooms and excellent school links for growing families.
Large corner plot with panoramic open countryside views
Set on a generous corner plot with sweeping countryside views, this substantial four-bedroom detached home offers flexible family living across well-proportioned rooms. The property’s character is evident in period features and a cosy lounge with multi-fuel stove, while modern comforts include a large dining kitchen with Rangemaster, utility and walk-in pantry. A bright conservatory and three reception rooms give plenty of space for entertaining and family life.
The accommodation is particularly versatile for multigenerational living: a ground-floor master bedroom with en-suite wet room and three further double bedrooms upstairs (one with dressing room and en-suite). The bathrooms are practical and the layout suits a family seeking long-term space and privacy. Large wrap-around gardens, an ornamental pond, oversized single garage with remote door and block-paved driveway complete the outdoor appeal.
Practical points to note: the house was constructed in the 1930s–1940s and, while well maintained, some elements may reflect the home’s age (double glazing install date unknown). Council Tax is band G, described as quite expensive. Services are mains gas with boiler and radiators; there is no flood risk. The location on the edge of Wharfedale gives easy access to Ilkley and Otley, excellent local schools, and frequent rail services to Leeds and Bradford.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial family residence with sizeable private gardens and strong school and transport links. It also offers scope for gentle modernisation to suit contemporary tastes while retaining much of its character and rural outlook.
