Enjoying a prime location on the outskirts of Otley is this exceptional opportunity to purchase an established and sizable home in excess of 6600 sq/ft (613sq/m) GIA. Situated within gardens and land extending to approximately 19.86 acres (8.038 HA) that affords the property a high level of privacy and most impressive, elevated views down the Wharfe Valley.

To accompany the main residence are large gardens, tennis court area, outbuildings and 18.45 acres (7.505 HA) of agricultural land.

The extensive accommodation which has been well maintained but is now in need of a degree of modernisation, is planned over three floors and briefly comprises of an entrance hall with WC, a large L-shaped living room which lends itself to being divided into two areas and is currently used as a sitting area and dining area, plus a good-sized breakfast kitchen.
