An imposing stone built three bedroom detached family home with many period features, stunning gardens, garage and ample parking together with some of the finest views in the area.
Glen Lyne is one of four similar handsome detached family homes and was constructed of mainly natural stone in 1932. Sitting under a pitched blue slate roof, this imposing double fronted property has retained much of its 1930's charm with stunning original tiling, bathroom suite, fireplaces etc. As with properties of this age, the construction is impeccable and provides flexible living space for a growing family arranged over two storeys with excellent cellar accommodation. The property benefits from mains, electricity and water with private drainage system and oil fired central heating, some double glazing is installed.
A particular feature of the property are the delightful grounds which are found to both the front and rear elevations. There is a sizeable front garden with lawn and established bedding plants whilst there is a abundance of private parking accessed via a 5 bar gate. To the rear of the house, there is further parking and a stone built double Garage from which is a generous garden area and a further portion laid to lawn partly used for chicken husbandry.
Glen Lyne sits close to the county line on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border, in a very tranquil location, yet is readily accessible to the M65 motorway providing excellent communting into Cheshire. The towns of Colne and Skipton are both readily accessible with Skipton being approximately 15 minutes drive away. The town has an excellent array of retail and recreational facilities as well as stunning countryside walks and there is a railway link through to Bradford, Leeds and London Kings Cross. The house is surrounded by some delightful Craven countryside with numerous delightful walks close to hand.
