Located in one of the most convenient areas of Horsforth, within minutes of a wide range of excellent local amenities, including great schools, is this stunning double fronted four bedroom 17th century cottage. Believed to date back to the mid seventeenth century, this beautiful family home which is detached in character, has been sympathetically extended to provide deceptively spacious and practical accommodation.
In addition to this the house occupies a superb plot with a generous west facing garden, private parking for two cars and a large double garage! The property which boasts stone mullion windows, original beams, exposed stonework, original fireplaces and a gas central heating system, must be seen to appreciate the quality and character of the accommodation on offer.
The property is accessed into the entrance hall through a solid wood door and with staircase to the first floor. To the front is a lovely dual aspect sitting room with exposed stonework, recessed storage and a cast iron wood burning stove set into an imposing Inglenook fireplace. Also to the front is a family/playroom, a versatile space with an additional cast iron wood burning stove set within another stone fireplace.
To the rear is a spacious light & bright dining kitchen with solid woodwork surfaces, Belfast sink, ceramic tiling, built in oven & hob, integrated dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine, Machells solid oak floor and PVCu double glazed French doors leading on to the rear garden. Also to the rear is the extended rear porch with bespoke storage, Yorkshire stone floor and rear entrance door. The porch gives access to the modern guest w.c with low level flush w.c, wash hand basin, Yorkshire stone floor and built in storage.
To the first floor is bedroom one, a good size dual aspect room with exposed beams, stone fireplace and walk in storage cupboard. Bedroom two is to the front, a further double with exposed beam. There is a double bedroom to the rear with cast iron fireplace and bedroom four has useful recessed storage. The bathroom has a three piece suite in white with shower and ceramic tiling.
To the front is a gated cottage garden with Yorkshire stone path leading to the bespoke solid wood door. To the rear, being a particular feature of this family home is a fantastic private west facing lawned garden of excellent proportions with the recent addition of a summer house offering flexible usage. Again to the rear is a Yorkshire stone cobbled driveway with parking for two cars which gives access to the large double detached garage.
It must be said that properties of this period with such character, practicality, parking, garage and garden are extremely rare to find in Horsforth.
The property enjoys easy access to good schools for all ages, Horsforth railway station, Leeds/Bradford airport, the extensive shopping facilities on Town Street, local bars and restaurants.
