Main Street, Pool-in-Wharfedale

Tucked away on one of Pool-in-Wharfedale’s most sought-after and peaceful no-through roads, this charming Grade II listed home offers a wealth of character, flexible living space, and an enviable village location. Formerly two separate cottages, the current owners have thoughtfully combined them into one spacious family home, preserving many original features that add to the property's unique charm.

The home is ideally positioned within walking distance of local amenities, highly regarded schools, and beautiful countryside. Pool-in-Wharfedale is a picturesque and highly sought-after village, offering scenic riverside and woodland walks, cycle routes, Otley Chevin, and the stunning Wharfe Valley — perfect for outdoor lovers. Leeds, Harrogate, Ilkley, and Leeds Bradford Airport are all easily accessible, making this location ideal for families and commuters alike.

A small hallway welcomes you into the property, leading directly into the spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining area — a sociable hub of the home, ideal for modern family living.

To the right, the original entrance hall is currently used as a formal dining space, full of charm and character. This room features an original fireplace, creating a beautiful focal point, along with a ‘butler’s nook’ — a charming feature harking back to the home’s history. This space provides access to the kitchen, cellar, main staircase, conservatory/sunroom, and the living room.

The conservatory/sunroom enjoys views over the rear garden and features a single door leading directly outside — perfect for entertaining or relaxing on summer days.

The living room is a cosy, inviting space, complete with a characterful brick fireplace housing a traditional log burner — ideal for cosy evenings. A secondary staircase leads from here up to the guest accommodation, offering flexibility for visitors or older children.

Off the living room, a door leads to a study area, which in turn opens into a practical utility room. The utility provides access to the rear garden and a downstairs WC. There is also a second front door from the hallway near the study, offering alternative access to the front of the property.

The main staircase from the entrance/dining room leads to a first-floor landing giving access to two well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is a generous size and benefits from a private en-suite shower room. A second good-sized double bedroom sits opposite.

Also located on this landing is the house bathroom, complete with a bath, ideal for family use, along with a useful airing cupboard providing additional storage space.

Importantly, the master bedroom benefits from direct access through to the second hallway, which leads to the guest area and down a secondary staircase into the living room. This layout offers great flexibility, making it ideal for teenagers, guests, or multi-generational living, as it provides private access to a separate section of the first floor. Here, you’ll find a large double bedroom, a smaller bedroom, and an additional bathroom, perfect for a guest suite, private teenager’s space, or independent living.

The rear garden is easily accessed from both the conservatory and the utility room. Designed for low-maintenance living, it features mature shrubs and bushes that provide privacy and create a tranquil setting — perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.

This exceptional home offers the very best of village life in Pool-in-Wharfedale. Residents enjoy a wonderful community atmosphere, local pubs, shops, and highly regarded schools. The area is rich in countryside walks and beauty spots, including riverside strolls along the Wharfe and access to nearby market towns.
