Walker Wood, Shipley, BD17

The Property
Nestled into the historic and protected woodland of "Walker Wood" at the rear, and located within a much sought-after residential neighbourhood close to picturesque Shipley Glen, this fine, individual detached residence presents an outstanding purchasing opportunity for a larger or growing family.

Worthy of an immediate and thorough viewing appointment, interested applicants will fully appreciate the beautiful presentation and light-filled living atmosphere of this superbly appointed home. This is a truly ready-to-walk-into home of the highest quality.

Substantially yet sympathetically enlarged by our clients, the property now offers a very comfortable arrangement of accommodation over two floors. Entering the reception hall via an impressive wide, glazed entrance door, the space is ideal for welcoming guests and practical for everyday family needs, featuring useful floor-to-ceiling hall robes and a cloakroom/WC. Parquet effect oak flooring extends throughout the ground floor, and wide, glazed double doors from the reception hall lead into the lounge, which enjoys ample natural light thanks to the property's slightly elevated position. A contemporary offsets fireplace with a dark marble back and shallow hearth serves as a focal point.



First Floor
Arguably, the most impressive feature of this home is the very spacious, open-plan living-dining-kitchen, which enjoys superb natural light afforded by a large glazed ceiling lantern, almost full-width bi-folding patio windows to the rear, and a large picture panel window to the side. A striking marble effect porcelain-encased island with a breakfast bar, cupboards beneath, and an under-mounted sink with mixer tap serves as a superb focal point, while sleek ivory-coloured cabinets complement the overall style. Integrated AEG appliances include an electric double oven, a five-ring ceramic hob with an extractor filter hood above, a dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer. With excellent space for large family gatherings, entertaining, and dining, the kitchen also offers a more intimate space for everyday relaxation, adaptable to suit individual requirements.

A rear entrance lobby with a glazed door to the rear leads to the utility room, which is smartly fitted with base cabinets, a marble effect worksurface with an under-mounted sink and mixer tap, additional storage cupboards, and plumbing for an automatic washing machine. There is also a door leading to the garage, currently used as a home gym by our clients, with a remote-controlled up-and-over door for access from the driveway.

Upstairs
A smart staircase with oak treads leads to the first floor split landing, also featuring parquet effect oak flooring. The left-hand landing serves the master suite, accessed via double doors, which includes an impressive bedroom with a double-height ceiling into the apex of the roof, adding to the overall feeling of spaciousness and style. Complemented by parquet effect oak flooring, a focal point is provided by a faux chimney breast and fireplace, and a window to the front offers a pleasant outlook over the rooftops. The luxury en-suite bathroom, finished in microcement to the walls and floor, features a four-piece suite comprising a free-standing bath under the picture panel window to the rear overlooking Walker Wood, a wash basin mounted onto an oak effect vanity cabinet, a shower area with a 'wet room' glazed screen, and a low-suite WC. Opposite the master bedroom is a fitted dressing room with a window to the rear.

The right-hand landing serves two further double bedrooms and a very good-sized single bedroom, currently used as a home office. The house bathroom is also finished in microcement for a contemporary, designer look, and is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, shower with a glazed screen, marble vanity wash basin, and low-suite WC.

Outside, the property stands proudly, slightly elevated from the roadside for improved privacy and natural light to the front-facing rooms. An electrically operated remote-controlled security gate conceals the smart, block-paved driveway, which provides comfortable off-road parking for two cars and affords access to the integral garage (currently a gym). The rear garden, nestled into Walker Wood for excellent privacy and an attractive skyline, features a level, lawned area ideal for children's ball games and recreation, as well as an elevated paved sun terrace for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
