STUNNING VICTORIAN MENSTON HOME TRANSFORMED OVER 18 YEARS COMES TO MARKET FOR £1.95M

A substantial Victorian home in Menston, which its owners have spent the past 18 years meticulously transforming and extending, is now for sale with Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Burley in Wharfedale office.

Netherby, on Otley Road, has a guide price of £1,950,000 and sits in approximately 0.6 acres. Its owner, Clare Quinn, has overseen an extensive transformation of the property, creating an impressive contemporary family home whilst carefully retaining its original Victorian character.

Clare said: “When we bought Netherby 18 years ago, it really was a wreck, but we could see its potential. Over the years we have completely transformed and extended it, and it has become a huge part of our family’s life.

“We’ve put so much into making it the home it is today, but we’re ready for our next chapter and are moving somewhere a little more rural.

“There’s so much I love about the house, but some of my favourite features have to be the custom-built wine cellar under the stairs, the bespoke kitchen and dining space and, of course, the dance studio!”

The property extends to around 5,000 sq ft and includes five bedrooms in the main house, together with a separate one-bedroom cottage or annexe.

The accommodation includes an entrance lobby and reception hall, sitting room, main lounge, expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, a separate dining room and bar, utility room and WC.

The principal bedroom suite includes two walk-in dressing rooms, a further dressing area or studio and an en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor, with an additional double en-suite bedroom on the second floor.

The property also has a purpose-built studio, currently used as a dance studio, plus two attic storage rooms.

Outside, the house is approached through solid wooden electric gates and benefits from two gated driveways with parking for several vehicles. The rear garden includes an extensive lawn, stone walling, mature shrubs and trees, a raised decked terrace and a large sunken seating area with pergola.

Lesley Shakeshaft, branch manager at Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Burley in Wharfedale office, said: “Netherby is a property that has been beautifully extended and remodelled, and it really does have the wow factor. Its position is also very appealing, within walking distance of Menston village and the railway station, whilst Ilkley and Leeds are also within easy travelling distance.”

Menston railway station provides services into Leeds and Bradford, with onward connections from Leeds to London King’s Cross. The village also has shops, schools, pubs and a cricket club, with Ilkley offering further shopping, sporting and social amenities.
