The Property
Recently built in 2009, this executive home is built to a high specification in local, natural stone and benefits from eco-friendly features including ground source heating, solar panels, excellent insulation and high quality double glazing, which may substantially reduce carbon emissions and energy bills when compared to conventional houses. The décor and presentation is immaculate and the rear garden is an amazing space for relaxing and entertaining with sheltered seating and a hot tub area. All of this in a beautiful village setting with stunning far-reaching views of the Yorkshire Dales.

A spacious entrance hall creates an elegant first impression with an oak and glass staircase leading to the first floor, a large understairs storage cupboard, solid oak doors and wood effect flooring. A handy WC and a room currently used as a study lead off to the left and the kitchen/dining room is through a glazed door to the rear of the house, overlooking the garden and rolling hills. The kitchen is well-fitted with a good range of oak floor and wall units, dark granite work surfaces, a range style oven with electric hob, sink and an island bench with breakfast bar seating. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, and French doors lead out onto the patio. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room with further work surfaces, storage and laundry facilities. The garden room provides an excellent second reception room or snug, but also brings the outside in with full height windows and sliding doors to the garden. Glazed doors lead into a sophisticated, light and airy sitting room featuring a modern wall mounted electric fire.

To the first floor the principal bedroom is a beautiful space with French doors leading onto a roof terrace overlooking the rear garden and green open countryside. A dressing area with a wall of fitted wardrobes, drawers and a vanity table leads into an en-suite shower room with double width shower. The three further nicely decorated double bedrooms are served by a smart family bathroom that includes a large corner shower, a modern freestanding bath and a vanity unit with WC and wash hand basin. The large landing provides a storage cupboard and hatch loft access.

Externally
1 Elmhurst Gardens has a very smart front aspect with a gated paved driveway leading to the garage, a patio running the full width of the house across the entrance and a rockery garden planted with colourful flowering plants and with a gravel path and seating area. The property has access to the rear down both sides. The rear garden is something else.

Beautifully paved and low maintenance with amazing Yorkshire Dales views, the current owners have turned this into a fantastic space for relaxing, al fresco dining, barbequing, entertaining and sunbathing. A wooden gazebo with power, lighting and heat lamps, along with a summerhouse, provide shelter no matter what the weather, a decked area beside an outdoor shower is the ideal spot for a hot tub and delicious pizzas can be cooked in the brick wood-fired oven. The gazebo also has the huge benefit of electric roller walls, which when down, completely seal the structure and effectively create an extra room.
