Church Street, BD23

A most stunning 3 double bedroom character cottage in the most idyllic location. Finished to the highest of standards this is one of the most impressive properties we have seen come to the market for some time and must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Located in the beautiful village of Gargrave just a short drive from Skipton and easy access to the main motorway links this property offers semi rural life but with modern comforts in a convenient location. Gargrave village is located on the banks of the Leeds Liverpool canal which offers safe and picturesque opportunities for family walking, fishing and cycling. Gargrave itself has various amenities and as stated Skipton is only 4 miles away.

Skipton for those of you less familiar with the town is one of the most sought after locations to live in North Yorkshire. It has excellent schools, easy connectivity for the commuters by rail (including direct trains to London) and road. It has a bustling high street with many fashion boutiques, artisan cafes, bakeries, independent eateries, gastro pubs, numerous butchers, fishmongers in essence everything you could need and how a town centre should be!

The property in beautiful stone is set next to a meandering stream and has designated parking in front. From the doorstep is a beautiful river walk and for those with a dog...this house IS DOG FRIENDLY.

Enter through the front door through the pretty porch into the most gorgeous open plan living/dining/kitchen area. It oozes character and there are many bespoke furniture items the owner would include if desired. Everything is so well thought out, take the flooring for example, rich wood in the large dining space which sets off the wall tones perfectly through to beautiful light tiling in the kitchen and casual entertaining space, back to the rich floor in the formal living room. The dining area easily seats 8 and there is a hidden gem of an under stairs drinks cabinet.

The chefs amongst you will love the kitchen, numerous bespoke units with plenty of storage in a soft pastel tone, sets perfectly against the stunning light stone surfaces. Of course it has the kitchen island which everyone wants along with breakfast bar seating. Appliances are of excellent standard and there is even a water filtrated tap offering both still and sparkling water. Again please enjoy the photos which should offer a little more colour. The kitchen opens onto a lovely stoned sun trap terrace ideal for al fresco dining and of course the Summer BBQ. The gardens are so beautifully kept, and the design really brings the outside in, making the terrace and gardens a room in their own right.

The formal living space is a relaxing, calm room with a fully operational log fire set within a beautiful stone surround fireplace. I cannot imagine how cosy this must feel on a cold winters day...feet up, telly on and if you are anything like me you might drift off!

The ground floor is complete with a separate utility room, with sink, more units and space for both washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a very fancy downstairs WC and then a large boot room with a dog shower and sink. There has been a very spoilt Pooch in this house but it's ideal for those without a dog, handy for muddy boots, coats and great storage generally.

The first floor continues to impress with three large double bedrooms, the Principle is with en-suite of course and there is a stunning house bathroom serving bedroom two and three. The Principle suite is the place to start. It is beautifully decorated, has vast storage in the long bank of floor to ceiling in-built wardrobes, all bespoke. It has ample space for a bed of choice, looks over the gorgeous gardens, has plenty of natural light coming through and a very opulent en-suite with large shower cubicle, stylish tiling and flooring. The bedrooms all have carpets with a warm tone in excellent condition. The second double also boasts a bank of in built storage and is a large area. The third bedroom is again a nice size but if not required for sleeping would make a wonderful large home office.

We have touched briefly on the outside but it should be stated the owners have spent significant funds creating an easy to manage yet striking space with so many eye catching features. There is colour in the borders through the year, two principle seating areas all flagged, a large shed and the lawn and main area elevated giving it a special feel.

Overall a property which is exceptionally rare to find set in a grade A location. This offers the best of Yorkshire living, giving the benefits of country life at its best yet with all the modern benefits within the home and close to all the main commuter routes for those needing them.

Do enjoy the photo reel and be sure to book your viewing soon as we anticipate strong interest in this stunning home.
