A SUPERB HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL 5 BEDROOMED DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE WITH FURTHER POTENTIAL AND FAR REACHING VIEWS SITUATED IN ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR VILLAGES WITHIN THE AIRE VALLEY

PRICE: £449,950

Beautifully constructed in cut and dressed Yorkshire stone covered with a Blue slate roof in the late Victorian Era and used as a Baptist Chapel for well in excess of 100 years, this imposing property offers considerably more than at first meets the eye and was cleverly and sympathetically converted into a fine family house in the early 1980’s.

In consequence much of the original character has been carefully retained to provide extremely versatile accommodation covering 2 floors, extending to almost 3000 sq ft, having superb teenage, hobby or storage space and magnificent long distance views directly across the Aire Valley from the principal rooms above.

Cononley is a thriving village community offering a wide range of sporting, social and cultural organisations with additional amenities which include a church, primary school and 2 public houses, a useful collection of shops and a railway station giving a regular daily service to the major business centres of Leeds and Bradford.

Of special appeal to those seeking a true Architectural jewel with a difference and perfect for those wishing to embrace a rural village lifestyle, this unique property is served by gas fired central heating and sealed unit double glazing set within timber frames, having valuable on-site parking and in detail comprises:
