Property description
An impressive stone detached family home set in the delightful hamlet of Thorlby, less than two miles from Skipton town centre yet with fine open countryside views to both front and rear.
Reception hall; two ground floor double bedrooms; utility room; box room. Principal reception rooms on the first floor:- sitting room; dining/living room; dining kitchen. Two further double bedrooms and house bathroom. Lawned and flagged/decked gardens; tarmac driveway with parking/turning. Planning permission applied for detached garage.
Twin Ashes enjoys a tranquil rural setting within this delightful small hamlet, less than two miles from Skipton town centre. Constructed from traditional cut and dressed Yorkshire stone, the property has been cleverly designed to take advantage of the site contours, so that the principal rooms are on the first floor and open onto the upper ground level at the rear, maximising on the splendid rural aspect across open fields. Internally, this lovely detached home offers four good sized bedrooms with a smart house bathroom and en-suite shower room, as well as a delightfully extended reception room at the rear which is currently used as a dining/living room. The property is presented to a high standard throughout and has oil fired central heating and upvc double glazed windows and doors. A planning application has been made to the Yorkshire Dales National Park to further extend the property with a new utility room and second en-suite shower room, as well as a detached large single garage (6 metres x 4 metres) in the grounds.
For anyone wishing to live in a semi-rural setting yet be eminently handy for local amenities, Twin Ashes must be a property of choice. This area falls within the immediate catchment area for the Skipton secondary schools and although Thorlby is a traditional hamlet, there is nevertheless a pub less than a mile up the road, and the full facilities of Skipton are less than two miles away. For those commuting further afield, Skipton has a railway station with regular train services to both Bradford and Leeds, and a daily return service to London Kings Cross.
Well worthy of internal inspection, Twin Ashes is set in delightful gardens, the rear of which are accessed directly from the dining/living room at the rear to make a charming suntrap in the summer.
