20 Barden Road, Eastby, BD23 6SN

Enjoying a delightful rural setting having views over open fields and countryside on the southern boundary of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, this character family home offers deceptively spacious four bedroom accommodation of particular merit with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

This unique and individual link-detached home dates back in parts to 1629 and includes a range of charming features such as exposed beams, stonework and pitch stone slate roofs. The property also has an attached two-storey annex with bedroom, providing separate living space from the rest of the house, if desired, for elderly relatives, teenagers, or potentially for Airbnb use.

Having beautiful South facing gardens and stunning long distance views the property comprises briefly:

A covered entrance porch, a stone flagged entrance hall, a very spacious sitting room with a ‘Morso’ log burning stove on flagged hearth and full length windows along one wall providing an abundance of natural light, a dining kitchen finished in a modern farmhouse style with superb handbuilt 'Dovetail' fitted wall and base units, multi-fuel Esse range cooker and ample integral appliances, dining room/lounge with double doors out onto the rear patio. To the first floor there are two double bedrooms both of which have stunning long distance views and a house bathroom fitted with a contemporary three piece suite. To the second floor there is a further attic bedroom with views and a recently fitted ensuite bathroom.

The ground floor of the attached annex has a lounge area which could also be used as a home office/playroom, with shower and utility room leading off. To the first floor there is a double bedroom with long distance countryside views.

Externally there is a delightful fully enclosed south-facing rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower beds, two sheds, a greenhouse and stone flagged patios.

Ideally positioned only circa 2.5 miles away from the increasingly popular market town of Skipton with its wide range of amenities, the property enjoys a delightful setting within the exclusive rural hamlet of Eastby which shares a range of amenities with the adjoining village of Embsay including a well respected primary school and nursery, a Church, a village store/sub post office, two public houses, a village hall, sports clubs, a bus service and the Embsay to Bolton Abbey Heritage steam railway line holding regular special events.

The nearby historic market town of Skipton known as the 'Gateway to the Dales' provides an extensive further range of shops, pubs and other amenities including highly regarded secondary schooling and a railway station with daily services to Leeds, Bradford and London Kings Cross. Further well respected secondary schooling is available at Upper Wharfedale in the village of Threshfield to the north whilst the popular tourist hot spots of Bolton Abbey, Burnsall and Appletreewick are only a short fifteen minutes drive away over the scenic Barden Moor to the east.

The business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance whilst the popular Spa towns of Ilkley and Harrogate are also less than an hours drive away.

Equipped with mains gas central heating together with two log burning stoves, this substantial four bedroom cottage comprises in further detail:
