Property description
One of the most adaptable detached family homes on today's open market. Well proportioned and tastefully appointed 4/6 bedroom accommodation with potential for an independent to enjoy separate living, bedroom and bathroom facilities. Located within one of Airedale's most sought after villages, just 4 � miles south of Skipton on the fringe of some stunning countryside walks and capturing wide open views, this unique property has plenty of character, space, modern comforts, ample on-site parking, double garage and ornate landscape gardens.
Viewing essential to fully appreciate lay-out, location and versatility.
The old saying 'You cannot tell a book by its cover' is particular apt when describing Tall Trees. From a roadside inspection, it may look like a modest bungalow, however, this is far from the case. The ground level presents wonderfully light and spacious living and bedroom accommodation, many of the rooms having two windows and benefitting from magnificent southerly views across the Aire Valley. On the lower ground level, there is further bedroom/living space which could very easily be separated to form an annex, either for independent living or for letting out as a separate entity. All in all, this is a delightful property which has been fastidiously maintained and offers a degree of versatility which is seldom seen.
Farnhill is a particular popular place in which to live, being situated on the southern bank of the Aire Valley, approximately midway between Skipton and Keighley. With the Leeds/Liverpool canal running through, Farnhill effectively combines with its neighbouring village of Kildwick, and together they provide a primary school, church, public house, village hall and bus service. Nearby Crosshills offers a good range of everyday shops including a supermarket, whilst both Skipton and Keighley are situated approximately 15 minutes drive away and have an excellent choice of schools, shopping and recreational/sporting amenities. For the commuter, there are railway stations at Cononley (2 miles ) and Silsden-Steeton (3 miles) where there are regular services to Bradford, Leeds and through to London Kings Cross.
The internal accommodation at Tall Trees must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated and is double glazed throughout (predominantly upvc) with two gas-fired radiator systems (making an annex area even easier to provide).
