Description
Cherrybank is a spacious, detached three/four bedroom house occupying a plot of approximately 10.82 acres, situated in the village of Otley. 

The property is approached via a driveway (upon which there is a right of way) leading to a brick-paved pathway and the front entrance, which opens into a spacious entrance hall.  The kitchen enjoys views over the rear garden and provides access to a useful boot room.  An open archway connects the kitchen to the breakfast room, which overlooks the front.  The principal reception rooms include a dining room and a sitting room, both enjoying fantastic views over the front garden.  The dual-aspect sitting room benefits from sliding doors opening onto the garden and further access to the conservatory/greenhouse.  The study has French-style doors that open onto the rear patio area.  The cloakroom has obscured glazed windows and comprises a built-in cabinet with an inset handwash basin and WC.  

From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing which provides access to the bedrooms and bathroom.  Bedroom one is a spacious double bedroom with views over the front garden.  A door leads to a dressing room/bedroom four which enjoys views over the rear garden and has a shower and wash basin.  Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and has a built-in unit incorporating a handwash basin.  Bedroom three is a further double bedroom with views to the front garden.  The bathroom has a window to the rear and comprises a bath, WC, bidet and handwash basin.

Workshops

The property is approached via a driveway providing ample off-road parking. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of mature trees and shrubs.  The rear garden features a large patio area, with steps leading to further lawned areas bordered by trees and planting.  In total, the garden extends to approximately 1.73 acres (0.70 hectares).

The rest of the land extends to approximately 11.06 acres (4.47 hectares) and comprises a combination of vineyard and woodland.  Access to both the vineyard and woodland is provided via the access track adjacent to the outbuilding.  The vineyard extends to approximately 5.69 acres (2.30 hectares) and is situated on a southerly-facing slope.  The vineyard is currently overgrown but was predominantly planted with Müller-Thurgau grape varieties.  The boundary consists of post and wire fencing and mature trees and hedgerow.  The woodland extends to approximately 5.37 acres (2.17 hectares) and is classified predominantly as Grade 3 agricultural land, with a small area of Grade 2 land along the western boundary.
