A SUPER STONE BUILT 4 BEDROOMED EN-SUITE DETACHED PERIOD HOUSE
OF CONSIDERABLE CHARACTER IN A VERY WELL ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL AREA IN THE HEART OF THIS THRIVING VILLAGE COMMUNITY

 
Substantially constructed in natural Yorkshire stonework covered with a heavy Grey Slate roof and possibly dating back in excess of 250 years,  this imposing property was created from a small terrace of 3 period cottages to provide comfortable 4 Bedroomed family accommodation in the style of a traditional Yorkshire Longhouse, having a Hall, Cloakroom, Utility and Breakfast Kitchen together with 3 separate Reception Rooms, and 2 Bathrooms, 1 being En-Suite to the Principal Bedroom.

Full of character and containing a wealth of original period features including heavy beamed ceilings, leaded mullioned windows, attractive Pine doors, some Oak panelling and handsome fireplace surrounds, the property has the benefit of an adjacent stone built Garage, easily managed gardens and remarkable open views, particularly at first floor level.

Park Road is justifiably recognized as one of the prime locations within the village and a wide range of facilities, shops and other amenities are remarkably close at hand.  The larger business centres of Skipton, Keighley and Colne are within a short 10 to 15 minute car journey and the Railway Station at nearby Steeton gives a regular daily service to the cities of Leeds and Bradford.

To be seen from the inside to be appreciated and served by a conventional gas fired central heating this imposing family house will not disappoint and in detail comprises:
