Set on a large plot in a quiet Draughton cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom detached home offers generous family accommodation and sweeping countryside views. The living/dining kitchen is the social heart, fitted with a bespoke hand-painted kitchen and large picture windows that frame the Dales. Three further reception rooms provide flexible living for family life, home working or formal entertaining.
The ground floor flows well for everyday life and entertaining, with direct access from the kitchen to a paved terrace and well-tended rear garden. Upstairs there are five bedrooms, including a substantial master with en-suite, and a bright galleried landing. A long driveway and sizable double garage deliver ample parking and storage for family vehicles and hobbies.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property uses oil-fired central heating and has cavity walls that appear uninsulated, which may affect running costs. Broadband is reported as slow in the area and council tax is in Band G, both factors to consider for modern family needs and household budgets. The house was built in the mid-20th century and, while well-presented, may offer further scope for updating or energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home in an affluent village with good school catchments and convenient road and rail links to Skipton and Ilkley. It will suit buyers seeking large rooms, excellent views and a peaceful rural setting, willing to manage higher running costs or invest in insulation and modern services where desired.
