A MOST IMPOSING 5 BEDROOMED STONE BUILT DETACHED FAMILY HOUSE WITH EXTENSIVE LAWNED GARDENS AND A DETACHED SWIMMING POOL COMPLEX, THIS NOW HAVING THE BENEFIT OF RESIDENTIAL PLANNING TO CREATE A SEPARATE 1 BEDROOMED GRANNY FLAT BUNGALOW 

PRICE: £499,950

 
Substantially constructed in cut and dressed Yorkshire stonework covered with a traditional Blue slate roof,
this handsome individual property is very pleasantly located in the heart of open fields and countryside on the very edge of this ever popular village and stands amidst gently sloping lawned and wooded gardens, extending to approximately 1¾ acres, having wonderful uninterrupted south facing views to the front.

Offering considerably more than at first meets the eye, the house provides generous chalet style 5 Bedroomed family accommodation with an extremely versatile layout; this being served by dark uPVC sealed unit double-glazing and a conventional oil fired central heating system.  Externally, the house has the benefit of excellent on site parking, a detached 30ft heated swimming pool with an adjoining workshop and in the longer term the lower part of the garden has distinct future planning possibilities.

The pool room and workshop already have the appearance of a detached bungalow and residential planning was granted on 12th May 2010 by Craven District Council of Skipton (Decision No - 66/2010/10539) to create a separate self contained 1 bedroomed unit.  Detailed plans have been drawn up by Mr John Wharton of Carleton near Skipton and these can be inspected at our offices.

Nearby Sutton is a thriving community with a useful range of facilities including a park, primary school and church together with 3 public houses and a small selection of shops.  The railway station in Steeton - 3 miles - gives a regular daily service to the larger centers of Skipton and Keighley, or Leeds and Bradford.
