Stonecroft – An Exceptional Six-Bedroom Residence with Unrivalled Wharfedale Valley Views

Viewing by Appointment Only

Occupying an elevated position with breathtaking views across the Wharfedale Valley, Stonecroft is a truly remarkable six-bedroom family residence, seamlessly combining elegance, space, and modern refinement. Boasting two exquisite reception rooms, three beautifully appointed bathrooms, and a bespoke living kitchen, fitted in 2023 to an impeccable standard, this distinguished home offers an unparalleled setting for family life and entertaining.

A PRESTIGIOUS SETTING

Situated on the highly sought-after Avenue des Hirondelles, a private, tree-lined avenue known for its substantial residences set within generous plots, Stonecroft enjoys a commanding presence. The property is set within over half an acre of meticulously maintained gardens and is approached via a newly resurfaced (2024) block-paved driveway, offering ample parking and an impressive arrival experience.

A thoughtful loft conversion completed in 2021 has further enhanced this already substantial home, creating two additional bedrooms, each featuring Juliette balconies, dormer windows, and cleverly integrated eaves storage. The principal loft bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, while both share a luxurious shower room.

EXCEPTIONAL LIVING ACCOMMODATION

Stepping through the front door, a galleried reception hall creates an immediate sense of space and grandeur, leading to a convenient downstairs shower room with WC.

The elegant bay-fronted living room, bathed in natural light, provides a warm and inviting retreat, complete with a window seat offering panoramic views and a striking open fireplace with a stone mantelpiece.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning living kitchen, refitted in 2023 to an exacting standard. Designed for both beauty and function, this superb space is thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas, catering to modern family living.

KITCHEN FEATURES

• Premium quartz work surfaces, complemented by bespoke cabinetry offering extensive storage.
• Integrated appliances, including an electric oven, microwave oven, induction hob and a downdraft extractor fan.
• Full-height integrated fridge and freezer, positioned either side of the built-in oven and pantry for seamless access.
• Belfast-style ceramic sink, enhanced by a bronze mixer tap.
• Integrated wine cooler, perfectly placed beside the bespoke dining area.
• USB sockets and rewired electrics (2023), ensuring modern convenience.
• Custom oak-fitted breakfast bar, beautifully offsetting the white quartz worktops.

BESPOKE DINING AREA & SNUG

The crescent-shaped dining area, complete with bespoke upholstered seating, offers a sophisticated yet relaxed space for entertaining, with open views over the rear garden and rockery. A wine cooler is conveniently positioned within reach, making it an ideal setting for both informal dining and special occasions.

From here, bi-folding doors lead to a courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining, while a further sliding door opens onto a secure, enclosed side garden, currently designated as a pet-friendly space.

A snug, a more recent addition, sits adjacent to the dining area, offering a cosy retreat with space for a wall-mounted TV and a plush seating arrangement.

PRACTICALITY MEETS STYLE – SIDE HALL & UTILITY SPACE

A spacious side hall provides external access to both the front and rear of the property, as well as the integral double garage. Designed with active family living in mind, this space is perfect for outdoor gear, coats, and muddy boots. It also accommodates white goods.

As in industrial area, this area functions well as an efficient ‘de-bunking’ zone, ensuring that the main living spaces remain pristine.

FIRST FLOOR – FOUR WELL APPOINTED BEDROOMS & FAMILY BATHROOM

A generous first-floor landing leads to four immaculately presented bedrooms, each benefiting from individual design features and charming outlooks.

The family bathroom is a stylish four-piece suite, fully tiled with a walk-in shower, separate bath, contemporary wash basin, and low-level WC, creating an indulgent space for relaxation.

SECOND FLOOR – TWO ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS WITH JULIETTE BALCONIES

The converted loft offers two superb bedrooms, each benefiting from Juliette balconies that frame stunning rural vistas. The principal loft bedroom boasts a walk-in wardrobe, while both rooms share an opulent shower room featuring high-end tiling, rainfall shower, and hand-held attachment.

EXTERNAL SPACE & LANDSCAPED GROUNDS

Set within half an acre of mature gardens, Stonecroft enjoys a privileged position, ensuring sunlight from dawn until dusk.

• The extensive front garden is beautifully maintained, featuring established trees and level lawned areas.
• The rear garden includes a large, flat lawn, a raised seating platform (currently housing a Wendy house), a rock garden, and further terraced areas.
• The resin-coated timber decking, newly installed with a manufacturer’s guarantee, provides an idyllic outdoor seating space.
• A sunny courtyard, accessed via the dining area, is bordered by an attractive rockery, creating a natural and picturesque setting.
• An EV charger is fitted in the double garage, which benefits from electric doors, power, and lighting, housing for a recently replaced combination boiler and ample space for a home gym. A further pebbled parking area is situated at the entrance of the property.

The gardens are a haven for wildlife, with red kites soaring overhead and frequent deer sightings, adding to the property’s tranquillity.
