Why you'll love living here

The views. The setting. The space. And the fact that the local pub is just a two-minute stroll away!

Tucked away in a small group of homes off West Chevin Road, this beautifully presented semi-detached house enjoys a wonderfully peaceful semi-rural setting with far-reaching views across Wharfedale towards the Chevin and Burley Moor.

It feels wonderfully removed from the hustle and bustle, yet Menston, Guiseley and Otley are all just minutes away. And for those who enjoy a good pub, the historic 18th-century Chevin Inn is your local – perfect for an evening drink, Sunday lunch or dinner without having to get in the car.

The current owners have continued to improve the creating a home that combines contemporary living with an enviable Yorkshire setting.

The spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room is very much the heart of the home. With plenty of space for dining, relaxing and entertaining, it's a room designed for modern living. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of wall and base units, an integrated AEG five-ring induction hob, AEG electric oven and full-sized dishwasher, together with space for a washing machine/dryer. A useful pantry provides additional storage, with the free-standing Baumatic fridge freezer included in the sale.

The bright and spacious living room is a lovely place to relax. The tall bay window has a southerly aspect, flooding the room with natural light, while the modern wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point on winter evenings. The engineered oak flooring adds warmth and a contemporary finish.

Moving upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous double with a range of fitted bedroom furniture and further storage. Stand at the bay window and you'll be rewarded with those far-reaching views towards Burley Moor.

Bedroom 3 on the first floor is ideal as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office, while the impressive contemporary bathroom is certainly a highlight. It's unusually spacious and features a freestanding bath, wall-hung vanity unit and a superb walk-in shower with thermostatically controlled waterfall and handheld fittings.

Then there's the substantial fully regularised second-floor bedroom. This versatile space is a real bonus and makes an excellent second double bedroom. The Velux window provides a breathtaking view across Wharfedale.

Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped to create an attractive and usable outdoor space, with a covered pergola providing a lovely sheltered spot for outdoor dining, relaxing or entertaining. The two-car block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking, while the rural outlook adds to the feeling of space and privacy.

The front garden patio also provides another lovely place to sit and enjoy the sunshine and spectacular outlook.

There is useful additional storage beneath the ground floor.
