Originally a farmhouse and barn, this Grade II listed period family home now offers over 4000 sq/ft of living accommodation – bursting with period and character details and central to the charming Netherwood hamlet which stands amid beautiful unspoilt countryside just a couple of miles from central Ilkley.
The former farmhouse offers traditionally planned living, with a pair of substantial reception rooms to the southern elevation complemented by a large breakfast kitchen, with an adjacent and practical boot room/utility. The first floor layout now offers five bedrooms – four of which are spacious doubles – complemented by a pair of house bathrooms; the principal bedroom being ensuite.
In the past the house has been extended into the attached barn to create a family room which offers impressive proportions, being almost 40 ft in length, with numerous windows to the southern side and a large arched window formed from the original cart entrance to the rear – a brilliant place to play, eat and entertain. To the side is a delightful sun room – full of light – and from there a staircase leads up to a discretely positioned snug/study area.
On the opposite side of the driveway to the house is a substantial stone outbuilding providing garaging at the lower level. Stone steps lead to the first floor which provides play/hobbies space, although there is obvious potential for upgrading and conversion to provide annex or office accommodation – subject to necessary consents.
Netherwood Farm has a delightful garden, principally lawned but bordered by mature planting. A delightful rural haven where one can soak up magnificent views across unspoilt countryside and towards Ilkley’s dramatic moors.
Ilkley requires little introduction – the popular former Victorian spa town occupying a stunning location in the heart of Wharfedale – a setting which provides ready access into the regions business centres, with the town’s central railway station providing frequent services into both Leeds and Bradford – from the former there are regular connections to throughout the day to London Kings Cross.
The town enjoys a thriving and colourful shopping environment with independent stores rubbing shoulders with ‘high street’ brands. There are excellent everyday facilities including a cinema, the popular Winter Gardens, numerous sports clubs and the famous lido. The surrounding countryside and rugged moors offer many an opportunity for challenging walks and cycling. Ilkley Grammar School is justifiably well regarded, but a number of private schools for children of all ages are easily accessible.
The sale of Netherwood Farm offers a fabulous opportunity to acquire a substantial period home within a highly desirable and accessible rural setting.
