STATION HOUSE

SKIPTON ROAD

CROSS HILLS

OFFERS IN THE REGION OF:  £330,000

Built as Kildwick Railway Station in 1846 in the Golden Age of steam, this imposing property has remained relatively unchanged for the last 150 years and provides deceptively spacious 4 Bedroomed family accommodation in the true sense of the word, having a Cloakroom, Kitchen and 3 separate Reception Rooms with 2 Bathrooms, one En-suite to the principal Bedroom.

Full of charm and character and containing many authentic period features, the original ticket office and waiting room are currently used as the Kitchen and Sitting Room and although now enjoying the more modern comforts of uPVC double glazing and gas fired central heating, the whole enjoys a wonderful nostalgic ambience which has to be seen to be appreciated.

Externally the house stands amidst private mature lawned gardens with a large Double Garage and there is also ample additional space to accommodate a boat, caravan or other vehicle to the side of the gable end. 

The property is handsomely constructed in stone with attractive Virginia Creeper and Ivy to part of the exterior and nearby Cross Hills is served by a good selection of shops, schools, facilities and other amenities whilst the larger business centres of Skipton, Keighley, Leeds and Bradford are all within acceptable daily commuting distance.
