THE FERNBANK HOUSE DEVELOPMENT

CROSS HILLS

PRICE:  £149,500 - £275,000

A MAGNIFICENT GRADE II LISTED GEORGIAN HOUSE, COACH HOUSE AND STABLE DEVELOPMENT IN AN EXCLUSIVE GATED COURTYARD SETTING

Standing on the site of an earlier farmstead and built in 1795 Fernbank house forms a superb Grade II listed Georgian family house, which has a wonderful range of ancillary outbuildings and good sized lawned gardens immediately to the rear.  It has interesting history and was used as a Doctors house and surgery until the 1970’s and thereafter as a commercial retirement home until it closed in 2007.  It has subsequently been acquired by developers who are well versed in high quality conversion and restoration subjects and now comprises a delightful blend of houses, apartments and mews properties in a prestigious courtyard setting.

High ceilings, ornate plasterwork, period fireplaces and stunning arched windows abound to provide a beautiful selection of individual dwellings with a first class specification all served by individual gas fired central heating systems.  Full of charm and character, the properties also have the benefit of designated on site parking, some with the additional advantage of car ports.  

A fine range of amenities in Cross Hills thriving Main Street are all within a short walking distance and the railway stations at Cononley or Steeton give a regular daily service to Skipton, Keighley, Leeds and Bradford. 

All work on the principal house has now been satisfactory completed and Wilman and Wilman have been instructed to promote and market the development, details of which can be found below:
