Otter House, Hunsingore LS22 5HY

Otter House is a wonderful, detached character property situated on the edge of the peaceful and picturesque village of Hunsingore, in the heart of the Golden Triangle. It dates from the late 1700's when it was originally built as a small holding, and it occupies a private and secluded location at the end of a no through road bordering the open countryside of the Ribston Estate. Local walks and the River Nidd are only a short walk away.

This beautifully presented detached period home must be viewed to fully appreciate the layout, charm and revealing accommodation with numerous period features.

The village of Hunsingore retains a strong estate feel situated some five miles north of the bustling market town of Wetherby and within easy commuting distance of Leeds, Harrogate and York. The A1(M) motorway is only a short distance to the west and Cattal railway station is located only two miles away, offering connections to mainline services from York and Leeds to London Kings Cross and further afield.
