Property description
Set in a COMMANDING ELEVATED POSITION at the front for window privacy from the road and also to take advantage of the BREATHTAKING, PANORAMIC, DISTANT VIEWS across parts of the Wharfe Valley and with no other properties facing the front or rear elevations, an outstanding opportunity to purchase this IMPOSING DETACHED RESIDENCE which is now of INDIVIDUAL STYLE and APPEARANCE and the VERY IMPRESSIVE SIZE of which is impossible to assess from outside. This SUPERB HOME has BEEN VERY TASTEFULLY and EXTENSIVELY EXTENDED to provide VALUABLE ADDITIONAL FAMILY SPACE and has also been CLEVERLY and IMAGINATIVELY ALTERED at first floor level. There are FIVE BEDROOMS (four of which are double) including AN IMPRESSIVE MASTER SUITE with adjoining fitted dressing room and en-suite shower room. There is also a SEPARATE "STUDIO" STYLE BED-SITTING ROOM at first floor level (with its own separate access from outside if required, although an integral part of the main family home) with EN-SUITE TILED SHOWER ROOM, and which would be ideal for a teenager within the family to have their own private space or as a guest suite or perhaps for an au pair. The EXCELLENT EXTENDED RECEPTION SPACE is ideal for relaxed family living and also for entertaining (particularly for parties and larger family gatherings) and has versatility in the way in which it can be used, and the WELL PLANNED and VERY TASTEFULLY FITTED BREAKFAST-SNACK KITCHEN IS OF VERY GOOD SIZE and in an attractive "Shaker" style. The part of Hall Rise Croft in which this property is delightfully located is in a little-known position on this popular development and yet there is pedestrian access from the rear garden (three or four minutes) to the main Leeds/Otley road with public transport facilities to Leeds city centre, via Headingley and the university. The MAINLY PRIVATE, INTERESTING REAR GARDEN is of good size, further enhancing this lovely home and should certainly appeal to gardening enthusiasts. From the top/far end there are SPECTACULAR, PANORAMIC, DISTANT VIEWS to enjoy and which encompass Almscliffe Crag and the white horse at Kilnsey (on a clear day!).
AMENITIES: BRAMHOPE is located approximately eight miles north of Leeds off the A660 and is also within comfortable daily commuting distance of the other commercial centre of Bradford and the former spa towns of Harrogate and Ilkley. The popular and active, historic market town of Otley is barely 15 minutes drive and offers an excellent choice of shopping facilities including both a Waitrose and Sainsbury's supermarket, and other family amenities. BRAMHOPE VILLAGE has a range of local shops including a bakery, a chemist and a newsagent and there is also a welcoming public house! There are further shops on Tredgold Avenue including a butcher's, a delicatessen, another newsagent and a dry cleaners. THE RENOWNED VILLAGE PRIMARY SCHOOL is about one third of a mile away and there is also a selection of recreational facilities to suit a range of age groups including a young children's play area (swings and slides, etc) on The Knoll - which is an area of grassland with established trees in the village. There is also a local rugby ground and A VILLAGE CRICKET GROUND both of which are only a few minutes drive by car. DELIGHTFUL COUNTRYSIDE is within relatively easy walking distance via a bridal path on Creskeld Drive - which leads to Creskeld Lane with woodland walks, rambles and fields. The famous Golden Acre Park is within very easy reach by car (about five minutes) and Leeds and Bradford Airport approximately a 15 minute drive by car. There are also several golf courses - all of which are within a 15-20 minute drive from this property.
