Beautifully converted from part of a former farmstead just over 25 years ago, this exceptional property stands entirely on the level at the approach to the village and enjoys a lovely south facing uninterrupted outlook over an attractive meandering stream with views towards the green.  Constructed in natural stone covered with a traditional heavy Grey slate roof the accommodation is spacious, imaginative and versatile and offers all the ingredients of modern living with principal features including: a well equipped farmhouse Kitchen, an elegant elevated Sitting Room and a lovely master Bedroom with stylish En-Suite facilities. 

For those with extended family requirements, the original Garage has been cleverly adapted to create a separate self-contained Teenage/Granny flat or possible guest wing, the whole being served by oil fired central heating and sealed unit double glazing set within timber frames.

Externally the house has beautiful well stocked gardens to the rear, these enjoying a high degree of shelter and privacy giving access to the Paddock, Ménage and the adjacent Double Garage.  There is excellent onsite parking and a 3 stable block to the front, perfect for those with equestrian interests. 

Otterburn is a highly regarded rural hamlet set amidst wonderful rolling countryside of the acclaimed Yorkshire Dales and stands in the catchment area for Ermysted’s Grammar School and Skipton Girls High School, both of which are within an acceptable 15 minutes travelling distance. Additionally there is a daily pickup service in nearby Gargrave for pupils attending Giggleswick School in Settle.
