Granville House, Bell Busk
BD23 4DU
Sold Subject to Contract
A delightfully situated and substantial stone built family home offering flexible internal accommodation together with extensive gardens and paddocks extending in total to approximately 0.85 hectares (2.10 acres).
Part of the charm of this property is its setting in a rural idyll but the accommodation includes several reception rooms, spacious master bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room, four further bedrooms and all the ancillary rooms you would anticipate.
Externally there is stabling garaging, extensive parking, gardens, patio areas and paddocks and we highly commend the property for viewing.
NO ONWARD CHAIN
LOCATION
The property is located just outside the hamlet of Bell Busk in a delightful rural setting yet is convenient for the village of Gargrave with its excellent range of every day facilities including shops, public houses, primary school and supermarket.
A short distance beyond is the market town of Skipton with a more extensive range of shopping, leisure and other facilities.
With easy access to the A65, the property is ideal for commuting to the major business districts of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire and whilst Gargrave has a railway station, a more extensive service is available from Skipton including a direct weekday service to London Kings Cross.
DESCRIPTION
The stone built house is believed to date from the early 1800’s although the house itself was rebuilt in 1918. The property is situated in a rural idyll with stunning views particularly from the front windows.
Presently utilised as one house, the flexible and practical layout of the accommodation makes it ideal for family living but the potential to create two separate dwellings is there for all to see and indeed Planning Consent exists for such a change.
Outside the property is equally as flexible with an extensive gravelled parking area together with garaging, stabling, patio areas, gardens, a small spinney and paddocks.
Overall this superb house is well worthy of inspection and early viewing is recommended.
