Derry Hill, Menston

Tucked away on the peaceful and prestigious Derry Hill, in the heart of Menston’s conservation area, this contemporary three-bedroom detached home offers modern elegance in a highly desirable village setting. Immaculately presented and thoughtfully updated throughout, the property is ready to move straight into — perfect for professionals, families, or downsizers seeking style, comfort, and convenience.

As you step through the front door, you’re welcomed into a bright, well-finished entrance hall with hardwood flooring and crisp décor that flows effortlessly throughout the house. The kitchen sits at the front of the home, striking a perfect balance between function and design. Here, neutral-toned cabinetry is accented by sleek Corian worktops and stylish tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a Beko induction hob, built-in oven, microwave, slimline dishwasher and a full-height fridge-freezer, while a classic Belfast sink adds a timeless detail. Two single wine racks, thoughtfully placed at the top and bottom ends of the cabinetry, offer elegant storage and a subtle touch of luxury. Just off the kitchen, two steps lead seamlessly down to the built-in dining area — a cleverly converted space within the former garage, now a bright and practical nook with fitted bench seating and wood-effect flooring, ideal for daily family meals or hosting friends. Also off this lower level is a convenient WC and a cupboard housing laundry facilities and the boiler — all tucked neatly away for practicality without compromising the clean layout.

The sitting room at the rear of the home is both generous and beautifully styled. Flooded with natural light from two large windows fitted with crisp wooden shutter blinds, the room’s focal point is a bespoke media wall, complete with arched alcoves and integrated shelving — offering both a clean, architectural feature and practical storage. With its understated modern feel and calming palette, this is a space that invites you to relax in comfort or entertain with ease.

Upstairs, the attention to detail continues. The main bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and includes recessed wardrobes and clever storage into the eaves. The second double room also features built-in wardrobes and views to the front, while the third bedroom is a flexible space, equally suited as a nursery, home office or guest room. A house bathroom serves all three rooms, fitted with a classic white three-piece suite — well maintained and neutral in design, with scope for personal updates if desired.

Outside, the rear garden is west-facing and fully paved for low-maintenance living, with raised planted borders adding structure and greenery. It’s a private space that captures the afternoon and evening sun — perfect for alfresco dining or quiet relaxation. A gated path runs along both sides of the property, while the driveway at the front comfortably accommodates two cars side-by-side.

Located just a short stroll from Menston village centre, you’ll have easy access to cafés, local shops, a post office, doctor’s surgery, and excellent pubs. The highly regarded Menston Primary School and St Mary’s Catholic High School are within walking distance, and Menston’s train station — offering direct routes to Leeds and Bradford — is less than 10 minutes away on foot. With Ilkley, Otley, and Guiseley all nearby, plus Leeds Bradford Airport just a short drive away, this is a home that offers stylish, turnkey living in one of Wharfedale’s most well-connected and picturesque villages.
