North Street, Addingham, Ilkley, LS29

Full of character, with exposed stone, traditional beams and superbly spacious accommodation throughout, it’s a home that combines personality and practicality with a wonderful connection to its surroundings. There’s also the added convenience of off road parking for one car.

And while it retains all its character and charm, the current owner has also done the hard work. Since owning the property, they have rewired the house, installed a new heating system and boiler, and extensively renovated the home, meaning there is very little for the next owner to think about. In other words, you can move in, unpack your boxes and simply concentrate on making it feel like your own.

Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming dining kitchen which provides a sociable space for cooking and entertaining, with the added bonus of a useful pantry. Leading off from the kitchen is the lounge, complete with a stone fireplace surround, stone hearth and multi fuel stove – just the spot to settle down after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, the generous proportions continue, with two bedrooms, both benefiting from their own en suite shower facilities. The principal bedroom also has the added benefit of a walk in wardrobe.

Whether you're looking for a comfortable home of your own, somewhere to accommodate visiting family and friends or a property with potential for holiday guests, the layout offers plenty of flexibility.

A utility room and WC, leading off from the lounge, add another useful touch to everyday life.

And what about the outside space? While there’s no traditional garden to maintain, the area to the front offers the perfect opportunity to create your own little outdoor haven. Picture a bistro table, colourful pots and a morning coffee in the sunshine, or perhaps a glass of wine at the end of the day. No lawn to mow, no weekends spent gardening – just a pretty spot to sit, relax and watch the world go by. And in this location, there’s certainly plenty to see.

The Dalesway Trail runs right past the front of the property, with a bridge over the stream leading you towards open fields, the beautiful Addingham St. Peters Church and miles of countryside waiting to be explored. Whether you enjoy a gentle stroll or a longer walk, the great outdoors is quite literally on your doorstep.

Addingham is a village with a real community spirit. There’s a wonderful choice of pubs serving food, a community hall hosting a variety of events, including cinema evenings, a GP surgery and regular bus services connecting you to Ilkley, Skipton and Bolton Abbey.
