4 bedroom detached house

New Garth House is a stunning and clever blend of period, arts & crafts and contemporary design and finishes. Originally a 1970's build, and so having an insulated cavity wall and modern construction methods, yet having the feel of a much older period property.

With some striking features throughout to include an open fire in the living room along with bespoke antique built-in cupboards, high quality oak doors and flooring, and bespoke timber blinds fitted to the majority of the windows to mention just a few.

This has to be one of the best positioned family homes in the village, and with the most fantastic open views across the countryside and Malhamdale from large double glazed windows, which also make this a very light and airy house.

The property underwent an extensive refurbishment and upgrading circa 2017, with particular attention to detail and premium quality fixtures & fittings. More recently the property has had high performance windows installed and new external doors.

Set in delightful, mainly lawned gardens with well stocked borders, sun deck areas, a detached double garage and providing a substantial family home which will require very little work and maintenance for many years to come.
