A generously proportioned five bedroom detached family home, enjoying an enviable location within a well regarded area of Menston village and with lovely open aspects onto farm land to the rear.
The understandably popular village of Menston stands on the edge of the Wharfe valley within a location which provides ready access to some of the region's most beautiful open countryside and moors, whilst being an ideal base for the West Yorkshire commuter � indeed the village's own railway station, which is within comfortable walking distance of Abbotsford, there are frequent services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford, with onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some 9 miles distant.
Menston retains a traditional sense of community and provides a range of every day amenities including local shops, a popular park, choice of pubs / restaurants, sports clubs and churches of a number of denominations. Additional facilities are on offer within the two local towns of Ilkley and Otley � the former particularly well known for its first class shopping, cultural amenities and busy social round.
Discretely positioned within a well regarded and mature area of the village, Abbotsford provides practical and undeniably spacious family accommodation benefitting from landscaped gardens and some lovely open views onto open farmland to the rear. The layout provides four principal day rooms, supplemented by a large garden room, and L shaped dining kitchen � the latter with integrated appliances and a separate utility off. Again the first floor is spacious in its proportions and provides an impressive master suite with both a dressing room and bathroom. Of the four other bedrooms the majority are doubles and have recessed wardrobes, whilst one also has a stylish en-suite shower facility. The gardens provide an ideal family amenity and the property's appeal is further enhanced through the provision of a large play room set over the double garage, although this area could also see use as a home office or provide additional bedroom accommodation.
