Found in this idyllic location surrounded by open countryside yet only a short
drive from Addingham village and Ilkley with their wide range of amenities and
transport links, this most attractive stone - built barn conversion, has been
sympathetically renovated and extended by the current owner to provide
generous and flexible accommodation, set within attractive gardens which enjoy
stunning far reaching rural views.
It is rare that properties such as Gate Croft Barn come to the market which
combine attractive character features in a rural position, yet within only a
short drive to both Addingham and Ilkley. The barn which was sympathetically
and thoughtfully converted by its current owner provides a stunning home.
The generous accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes an
entrance hall utilising the original barn opening which provides access to a
cloaks area, WC, study, large sitting room with feature fireplace, garden room
with views over the garden and beyond. There is also a dining room, snug with
wood burning stove, a good sized dining kitchen with utility and boot room
off.
To the first floor, the stairs lead to an impressive landing area featuring
the original arched window and exposed stone walls and provides access to a
principal bedroom of excellent proportion, with its own built in wardrobes,
dressing area and ensuite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms,
one having an ensuite and the two remaining bedrooms having access to useful
storerooms.
To the outside, the property sits well within well - stocked and established
gardens enjoying fantastic views and good levels of privacy. Approaching the
property, the driveway provides ample parking for a number of cars and access
to a double garage with separate workshop to the rear.
To the southern side of the property is an open area with a beck next to which
runs a public footpath. Surrounding the property to the south and western
aspects, an attractive landscaped garden includes paved seating areas, well -
stocked planted beds and mature planting running round to the northern aspect,
all of which is enclosed by dry - stone walling.
Gate Croft Barn is set in a stunning location – positioned on the edge of open
countryside just a few miles from the village of Addingham, with its broad
range of everyday amenities including churches of a number of denominations,
popular pubs/restaurants, and primary school. The former Victorian spa town of
Ilkley is approximately 3 miles distant and is well known for its colourful
shopping environment where high street stores rub shoulders with independent
shops. These are complimented by an excellent choice of restaurants, cafes and
tearooms whilst other social amenities include a theatre, cinema, the popular
Winter Gardens and medical services. Ilkley offers excellent commuter links
with frequent rail services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and
Bradford, and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London Kings
Cross. The surrounding countryside offers many an opportunity for rural
pursuits from cycling to golf and beautiful unspoilt walks and the Yorkshire
Dales National Park is less than five miles away.
