Description

A unique and extremely substantial converted country residence offering an opportunity to purchase the Principal Apartment with glamorous and immaculately presented accommodation benefitting from exquisite period features, stunning open views and a superb lower ground floor 'guest suite' providing useful supplementary living space.

Including the great advantage of designated private parking together with a single garage with power, this spacious and highly distinctive character home occupies an enviable ground floor position within this prestigious residential conversion of a historic Grade II listed country mansion, ideally positioned on the southern side of the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park only five miles from Skipton and within easy commuting distance of all nearby business centres.

Beautifully appointed and offering a level of space and luxury that is often difficult to find within the price range, this property is strongly recommended for inspection, having very close to 2,700 square feet of accommodation, imaginatively planned over two floors and with both principal rooms benefitting from large picture windows commanding spectacular open views.

One of the most remarkable features of this contemporary period home is the magnificent open plan living room which must be seen first-hand to be fully appreciated. With high ceiling, ornate decorative plaster-work, opulent chandelier and wall lighting, large picture window and a substantial marble fireplace providing an impressive focal point. This extravagant room was originally the dining room serving Eshton Hall and certainly offers an exciting space for entertaining whilst also serving as a wonderful everyday living space.

This extremely well-proportioned 'duplex' style home also includes a recently re-fitted Howdens kitchen, a wine cellar/dressing room, a games room/home office, a cloak room, a utility room, two upgraded bathrooms and an impressive lower ground floor guest suite; providing spacious and extremely versatile supplementary living space, ideal for visitors or teenage children. The spacious guest room could be used as a further living room if required, and benefits from its own independent external access and small built-in kitchenette.

Despite offering generous two storey accommodation, this thoughtfully designed home may also appeal to those searching for an interesting alternative to a bungalow, with the ground floor alone sufficiently offering comfortable everyday living space for a single person or a couple.

The accommodation is presented and maintained in immaculate condition throughout and benefits from high quality fixtures and fittings together with elegant bespoke internal doors and numerous charming original features.

The historic Eshton Hall was tastefully restored and converted in 2005 by Messrs Burley Developments to create a fabulous selection of superior homes within this highly desirable rural setting.

On first arrival a secure gated entrance and sweeping landscaped driveway offer a prestigious first impression, whilst surrounding the hall there are attractive, fully maintained communal grounds which provide a splendid outdoor space to sit and admire the fine open views towards the local fells.

Despite being situated only a short driving distance away from Skipton and its many town centre amenities, Eshton Hall is surrounded by beautiful open countryside and attracts a variety of birds and other wildlife including deer. The estate benefits from some delightful scenic walks directly from the doorstep, whilst the nearby village of Gargrave (with railway station) is less than one mile away, providing a variety of shops and other amenities.

Although the estate dates back over 800 years, the existing house was successfully remodelled for the Wilson family in 1825, using an Elizabethan revival style designed by architect George Webster of Kendal. Sir Matthew Wilson was a local magistrate and MP and his statue now stands in a prominent location on Skipton High Street. His half-sister, Francis Mary Richardson-Currer, was famed for having one of the finest collections of books in the country and it is suggested that her library may have been an inspiration for the Bronte sisters, with Charlotte Bronte writing Jayne Eyre under the pseudonym of 'Currer Bell'. No. 4 Eshton Hall is accessed via the impressive main communal entrance/reception area, with galleried oak staircase and magnificent glazed atrium providing a truly breath-taking spectacle.

Equipped with a security alarm system, LPG central heating and a video intercom entry system, the property offers a high level of prestige, comfort and privacy within an extremely safe and secure residential environment and certainly represents a superb opportunity. Comprising in further detail:

About Harrison Boothman, Skipton

1 Unicorn House Keighley Road, Skipton, BD23 2LP
Industry affiliations:

A service you know you can trust.....

We are proud to be considered the area's leading firm of Estate Agents, consistently out-performing our competitors with our unique and dynamic approach.

Over the years we have helped thousands of happy clients successfully buy and sell their homes. A brief search on Rightmove today will reveal our strong local presence and unrivalled performance. There is an obvious reason why so many clients continue to choose Harrison Boothman and we believe that the results clearly speak for themselves.

Since we were originally established in 1993, we have consistently grown as a company and now benefit from a friendly and approachable team of 10 enthusiastic and hard-working professionals, dedicated to providing an efficient and caring service and with a real concern for each individual client. Despite having a strong workforce, we are slightly unique in that we are one of the only firms locally who devote 100% of their attention towards the sale of residential property.

In this respect, we do not offer a 'Lettings', 'Land' or 'Commercial Property' department. As a result, our clients benefit from our full undivided attention when it comes to handling the sale of their property.

We concentrate all our efforts on the single task in hand - selling your home!

Being an 'independent' estate agent with essentially only a single office covering the local area, we do not form part of a large 'multi-office chain' or 'national franchise' that in practice, brings no obvious benefits to the client. We are not governed by an 'out-of-town' head-office and do not have to commit any valuable time or resources towards the running of a larger, more corporate style enterprise. We feel that this simplistic approach enables us to have complete control over how we operate our business and we can therefore provide a more personal and 'bespoke' level of service, tailored to suit the needs of each individual customer. No two clients are the same and certainly no two properties are the same either.

All our sales team live within the local area with the majority having been born and bred in Skipton itself. Our five Directors; Richard Harrison, Samuel Shaw, Matthew Gledhill, Austen Thompson and Jacob Taylor are proud to have over 100 years combined estate agency experience between them.

Harrison Boothman deal with all types of residential property, spanning the entire price spectrum locally and we welcome new clients from all backgrounds and nationalities.

We regularly work on behalf of overseas clients, offering a reassuring level of communication and expertise that is essential during this type of 'remote' transaction.

We have also been chosen to act on behalf of a number of highly successful local property developers and feel privileged to have been involved in numerous exciting new-build projects to date and with many more on the horizon.

Although our geographical catchment area is centred around Skipton and the surrounding villages, our coverage regularly extends to the areas of; Settle, Malham, Grassington, Buckden, Hebden, Burnsall, Draughton, Silsden, Steeton, Crosshills, Cowling, Earby, Barnoldswick, and of course the many other delightful villages nearby.

We are very fortunate to live and work in a very popular and beautiful part of the country. Skipton itself has been voted as one the best locations to live in the UK and our catchment area includes the southern side of the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park - an area of immense beauty and character. We are very passionate about the local area we live in and always try to support and recommend other local business where possible.

We embrace social media and have gained a loyal following on our Facebook page, engaging with other members to further promote our business with regular 'creative' content.

Our business actively encourages a high level of professional ethics at all times and we are proud to have earned a reputation for... 'A service you know you can trust'. This has now become our company motto and was inspired by comments made by one of our happy customers.

Over the years, our team has been grateful to receive and overwhelming number of customer thank you cards together with countless letters of praise and gratitude for our hard work and determination on their behalf. This is in addition to an ever-increasing number of personal and professional recommendations, for which we are also extremely grateful.
