Description
This individual 1930's semi-detached character home enjoys an enviable position on this exclusive residential cul-de-sac situated in the prestigious 'Raikes' area of Skipton commanding fine long distance views over the surrounding fields and countryside whilst also benefitting from a private driveway, a recently constructed stone-built detached double garage and delightful gardens having a good degree of privacy.
Having period features, gas central heating, full sealed unit double glazing and high quality fixtures and fittings throughout, this outstanding property is very strongly recommended indeed for inspection, offering briefly:
An entrance porch, an entrance hallway, a ground floor w/c, a family sitting room with a feature cast-iron fireplace, a versatile study which could be changed to suit several different uses and a large dining room which is partially open to the bespoke kitchen with quality fitted wall and base units and ample fitted appliances whilst to the first floor there are four good sized double bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room, a separate w/c and the house bathroom fitted with a contemporary three piece suite. To the second floor there is a large attic room with storage base units.
Externally the property has a raised stone-flagged patio with stone steps down into a further seating area and a large lawn which wraps around the side and rear of the property. There is also the addition of two large storage sheds which both have power connected. To the front of the property there is a further stone flagged area, a block paved driveway and the rare addition of a recently constructed stone-built double garage.
The increasingly popular market town of Skipton has won many accolades in recent years, being independently judged to be one of the best areas to live in the UK via multiple media sources. Catering to residents of all ages, the town offers the perfect combination of excellent schooling, easy access to countryside and an extensive choice of leisure, shopping and recreational facilities. The town is intersected by the scenic Leeds/Liverpool canal and is well known for its Medieval Church and Castle together with a bustling High Street featuring an outdoor market on the cobbled 'setts' four days a week. The town offers an excellent mix of independent shops, pubs and cafés in addition to having well known branded stores and a choice of fashionable bars and restaurants. There are excellent public transport links, including a railway station providing regular daily services to Leeds and Bradford. The town enjoys an annual programme of community events and festivals, attracting an ever increasing degree of tourism. In addition, the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park is a little over a mile away to the north, offering some of the finest countryside and scenery in the UK.
The business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance.
