If your heart lies with character you will fall in love with Old Hall Farm
which has been lovingly restored to an impeccable standard by the current
owners. Built in 1647 and referred to in the Doomsday book this Grade II
listed property oozes character throughout with exposed beams, mullion
windows, large fireplaces, original stone flooring and exposed stonework. With
three reception rooms and five bedrooms, two having en suite facilities, this
is a fantastic family home situated in a wonderful, semi - rural location yet
still close to the facilities on offer in the market town of Otley.
Steeped in rich history and classed as a special landmark building, Old Hall
Farm is said to have been the resting place of Oliver Cromwell and is regarded
as the jewel of this semi - rural village lying on the Nidderdale Way and Six
Dales Trail Walk. Surrounded by beautiful open countryside, yet enjoying the
comfort of neighbouring properties this is a fabulous property which will
appeal to a wide range of buyers including families, who love the outdoor
life.
The approach to Old Hall Farm is via a wooden gate set in dry stone walling
opening to a stone pathway which meanders through the lawned garden to the
attractive, timber entrance door. This opens to a tiled hallway with the
original timber 'bar, ' one of only a few remaining in the country, which
slides out from the exposed stone wall leading to the expression "You're
barred!". Doors from here open into two, spacious sitting rooms, both having
exposed beams and mullioned windows and large, stone fireplaces, one housing a
log burning stove. Both rooms enjoy views over the lawned garden and across
the fields beyond. The kitchen, leading off the lounge, is a great, sociable
space, fitted with a range of solid wood cabinetry, quartz worksurfaces and a
range of appliances. A focal point of this room is the large, arched, stone
fireplace housing an electric aga. There is ample room for a large family
dining table and one can imagine many happy times with family and friends
here. A utility room/boot room, cloakroom and home office complete the ground
floor accommodation. To the first floor one finds a great amount of living
space including a large landing area, ideal for relaxing with beautiful
exposed beams. Doors open into four double bedrooms, two having en suite
facilities, a single bedroom and the three - piece house bathroom. All the rooms
benefit from stunning, far - reaching views through the double glazed, leaded,
mullioned windows. Outside Old Hall Farm enjoys a lovely, level, corner plot
with a lawned garden behind dry stone walling to three sides of the property.
There are paved, patio areas, ideal for entertaining and relaxing and ample
parking on the tarmacadam driveway to the front of the property. There is
access across a further gravelled driveway leading to a double garage with
power, plumbing and lighting. The situation is perfect, being on the fringe of
open countryside yet close to Otley, a beautiful Yorkshire market town set on
the banks of the River Wharfe. Otley is a friendly and picturesque town in
attractive countryside.
Immediately to the south of the town rises Otley Chevin, which gives
magnificent views over Mid - Wharfedale, fantastic walks and cycling routes and
in the past provided much of the stone from which the town centre was built.
Highly regarded primary schools and the outstanding Prince Henry's Grammar
School are found within the town itself, together with a lovely mix of popular
branded stores and a fantastic array of independently run shops, making Otley
a very popular and pleasant town in which to live.
