Description
The Old School in Dacre Banks dates back to 1695 and in 1875 was rebuilt in Gothic Revival style after the 1870 Education Act. It operated as a school until the late 1920s, became a Youth Hostel in 1931, served as a WWII munitions depot, and was later converted into two properties, retaining its historic character and views over Nidderdale Valley.
This charming and characterful home, formerly the old school, is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and offers a superb balance of generous living space and practical design, enhanced by a wealth of period features.
The ground floor centres around a welcoming entrance hall, setting a warm and inviting tone. A unique staircase rises to a galleried landing, with exposed beams creating a striking focal point.
Also on the ground floor the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and has a range of custom built quality Strachan units. Making it ideal for multi-generational living. A separate office provides a quiet space for home working.
The kitchen is custom built by Charles Yorke and provides a spacious and functional space, complemented by a nearby utility room which has both wall and base unit cabinetry an integrated freezer and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A separate dining room, featuring an impressive full-height original window, offers a wonderful setting for family meals and entertaining, while a ground floor shower room adds further convenience.
Upstairs, an impressive lounge provides a generous second living space, with room for informal dining and uninterrupted countryside views through a stunning arched window. The dramatic internal void enhances the sense of light and openness.
The second bedroom is well-proportioned with fitted wardrobes and is served by a well-appointed bathroom which has jack and Jill access to also serve the third bedroom. The third bedroom, with exposed beams and multiple windows, offers a bright and inviting space.
Externally, the enclosed garden is beautifully arranged with a stylish patio, lawn, and mature borders. A perfectly placed bench enjoys the far-reaching views, complemented by an attractive summer house. A detached double garage and a generous driveway provide ample parking and storage.
