THE OLD VICARAGE, THE GINNEL, BARDSEY, WEST YORKSHIRE, LS17 9DU Wetherby 4 miles, A1/M 4 miles, Harrogate 8 miles, Leeds 9 miles, Leeds Bradford International Airport 14 miles
A stunning six bedroom, three bathroom, detached property of character and charm, set within private grounds of just under 1 acre, in this highly regarded conservation area of old Bardsey village having long distance views over surrounding countryside towards the Hambleton Hills.
The Old Vicarage was apparently the priest's house from the time of the restoration of the monarchy. The original priest's house now forms only a small part of the total property which has undergone various extensions over the years. The original character has been retained and enhanced by modern alterations to provide an exceptional family home extending to approximately 3900 sq ft.
On the ground floor, an open entrance porch leads to a reception hall that in turn with a step leads to the old hallway, off which, is a large lounge and in the 17th century part of the house, study and play room. The new hallway leads to a superb open plan living kitchen with bespoke units by Jeremy Wood of Wetherby including a dining area and steps down to a sunken family area. From the kitchen a door leads to the garden lobby which provides access to the double garage and also to the lower ground floor, workshop and garage.
On the lower ground floor there is a utility room, shower and toilet, a wine cellar and access to the boiler room which hosts the ground source heat pump, which provides underfloor heating to the lounge, kitchen area and first floor master bedroom suite and bedroom six.
On the first floor, a gallery landing leads to the master bedroom with luxury en-suite bathroom and dressing area and bedroom six which also boasts an en-suite shower and custom built ladder leading to a mezzanine area above.
There are four further double bedrooms including guest room with en-suite bathroom and further house bathroom.
All significant rooms have wired internet, telephone and T.V. aerial connections.
All the windows are recently replaced and double glazed and LED lighting or other low energy type has been installed almost throughout the property. The older part of the house is is serviced by a conventional gas fired central heating system.
The property enjoys a particularly private and peaceful location extending to approximately 0.9 of an acre and extensive elevated views as far as the White Horse at Kilburn. There are excellent garaging facilities with a double garage off the front courtyard and a lower level garage, together with workshop and storage area. This and the workshop could be re-worked to suit other purposes.
Bardsey itself is conveniently placed for ease of access to Yorkshire commercial centres including Leeds, Harrogate and York. The neighbouring village of Collingham offers good shopping facilities and the market town of Wetherby is only a few minutes drive away. There is a good local primary school, playgroup and sports club within the village, together with a church dating back to the 9th century and public house reputed to be one of the oldest inns in England.
Leeds Grammar School and Gateway School are some 15 minutes drive away and there are a good selection of golf courses in the area.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
