Lower Norwood Road, Norwood, Otley, West Yorkshire, LS21

An outstanding period barn conversion occupying an idyllic setting, with fabulous views across the Washburn Valley

Description

Norwood Barn is a traditional stone barn typical of the Washburn Valley, which the present owners acquired some 10 years ago and began an ambitious project to covert the buildings into a modern family home designed blend into the landscape and exploit the magnificent scenery.

With living accommodation extending to just over 3,368 square feet, arranged over two floors with the potential to create a one bedroom annexe, the property is both versatile and practical, well suited to families expecting regular guests.

Entering the property the quality of finish is immediately apparent, a spacious open plan breakfast kitchen is fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry and quality integrated appliances. The central island unit has a breakfast bar with seating for four people and there is space for a seating area and kitchen table. A vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams creates a real atmosphere in this light and airy space, perfect for day to day living. A useful separate utility sits just off from the kitchen.

Continuing through the ground floor there are two sizeable reception rooms, both of which benefit from multi-fuel stoves and French doors giving superb vistas across the gardens and valley beyond. The ground floor also benefits from a bedroom suite, ideal for guests or those requiring accessible accommodation.

Bedroom four sits on a mezzanine level above the family room and would therefore lend itself to conversion into a one bedroom annexe for multi-generational living or guests.

The first floor houses an impressive principle bedroom suite with a dressing room leading to a well-appointed en suite.
Bedrooms two and three are serviced by the house bathroom.

Externally the property benefits from a number of stone-built outbuildings, one housing the bio-mass boiler and the rest providing ideal storage space. A private tarmac driveway provides parking for several cars.

The garden has been beautifully designed with a large stone paved seating terrace flanking the entire ground floor, ideal for enjoying the south and west facing gardens. The garden is primarily set to lawn, flanked with mature trees and shrubbery, making for a sizeable yet low maintenance garden perfect for entertaining during the summer months.
