5 bedroom semi-detached house

A spacious five bedroom family house, part of an original barn conversion in an enviable semi-rural setting, beautifully presented throughout with stunning countryside views.

This property does enjoy an enviable location as it does literally adjoin countryside, designated as a "Special Landscape Area", the principal garden is on the south side and there are fine views over fields to Cowling Pinnacle and across the Aire Valley. There is immediate access to footpaths through the fields to the neighbouring moorland. It is also a very accessible location, literally a quarter of a mile from the main street of the village.

Stoneybrook was converted some years ago when a large barn was divided into two attached individual residences. The spaciously proportioned accommodation has been substantially upgraded and extended over recent years with the living space stretching over three storeys.

The property successfully combines traditional character features with expected modern fixtures and fittings. There are three charming reception rooms of individual character, especially the sitting room which includes a wood burning stove set with a raised stone flagged hearth. Off this room is the snug, which could also be used as a useful working from home office space. There is a separate utility space which provides washing machine and dryer plumbing. Across the hallway you enter the kitchen which offers an array of base, wall and drawer units, integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge/freezer and the addition of a kitchen island to the centre of the room. Following the property through to the open plan dining area with bi-folding doors and stunning long distance views. The spacious garden room, which has been updated and extended by the present owners, includes the feature of a wood burning stove and open views out on to the well maintained garden, fields and beyond. Also to the ground floor, there is the addition of a downstairs w.c. and access up to the first floor accommodation via the staircase.

To the first floor, there are three large bedrooms, with the master bedroom offering en-suite facilities comprising of a shower cubicle, low flush w.c., wash basin, extractor fan and heated towel rail.

To the second story, there are two further bedrooms and bathroom.

Cowling is a thriving village with shops, a public house, primary school, places of worship etc. It is readily accessible to the larger village of Cross Hills which has a supermarket and a wide range of facilities. Skipton is a few miles distant with superb school facilities and is handily placed for the commuter with a regular train service running to Leeds, Bradford and London.

From Skipton follow the A650 in the direction of Crosshills. At the Kildwick roundabout turn right up Station Road. At the top turn right onto the main street and proceed through the village of Crosshills passing the Dog and Gun public house. Proceed up the hill into the centre of Cowling village where Fold Lane will be seen on the left hand side. Continue straight up the lane, for just under a quarter of a mile and it becomes a concreted road flanked by fields, with Stoneybrook being at the very top of the lane on the right hand side easily identified by our Dacre, Son and Hartley ‘For Sale’ board.
