East Carlton is situated northeast of Yeadon and west of Bramhope village making it an ideal commuter location, yet surrounded by outstanding natural beauty with Otley Chevin Forest Park and Wharfedale very close by.

This majestic Grade II listed rural property was constructed circa 1635 and underwent restoration around 1909 adding Tudor features. Tucked away along a gravel drive, the gated entrance leads to the sizeable front garden with an almost southerly aspect. The house sits on a 0.35-acre plot, which is primarily to the front of the house and separated into two distinct areas. The top section of the garden incorporates a roundabout gravel driveway and a generous lawned area The lower garden area currently houses dog kennels which optionally may be added to the sale if required or removed.

The house itself simply oozes character with far too many features to mention in full and can only be fully appreciated by visiting the property in person. I would urge you to visit the Historic England website and search for list entry number 1253388 to see the finer detail.

Entering the property through the heavily-studded front door you will be struck by the grandeur and scale of the double-height dining hall with a galleried landing. Natural light floods through the beautiful mullioned lead paned windows, with wood panelling, oak beams, a stained glass door and a stone-flagged floor adding further to the character. A working wood-burning stove is a modern addition with a guest WC situated off the entrance vestibule.

The generously sized living room with parquet flooring continues the character theme, with a feature stone fireplace to the external wall and a working open fire directly opposite. A separate study room with exposed stonework is open to the living room.

The kitchen with tiled flooring houses a solid fuel AGA (unused) within a stone lintel fireplace and directly opposite the modern shaker style kitchen units incorporate an integrated single oven, electric hob and a 1.5 stainless steel sink. The external door to the western side of the building provides access to the separate detached storage building. From the kitchen, you can also access the breakfast room which is currently unused but does continue with period features such as southerly facing mullioned lead paned windows along with a fireplace opening. A large utility room is situated off the dining hall and includes a range of shaker-style base units with a 1.5 stainless steel sink and has plumbing for a washing machine along with space for a tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs onto the galleried landing gives the best vantage point to take in the stunning dining hall. The large master bedroom with ensuite takes you back to yesteryear with exposed stone walls, a feature stone fireplace and wood-panelled wardrobes. The partially tiled ensuite bathroom is styled in keeping with the property and incorporates a white bathroom suite.

Bedroom 2 is currently used as a living room and is very well proportioned to house a super king bed if desired, leaving plenty of room for wardrobes. A cast iron open fireplace adds character. Bedroom 3 is double in size, with a cast iron open fireplace and includes a recessed clothes cupboard. Single bedroom 4 includes a built-in double wardrobe and a vanity sink unit. Finally, the spacious family bathroom houses a corner bath with an over-bath shower, a pedestal basin and WC.

LOCATION - Being situated in a hamlet doesn't mean isolation because excellent local shops and amenities along with excellent primary schools are just a short drive away in Pool in Wharfedale and Bramhope villages with Leeds Bradford Airport a short taxi ride away. Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and York are within easy reach by road or rail from stations in Huby village, Guiseley, Horsforth or Menston. Prince Henry's Grammar School is situated in nearby Otley. The nearest supermarket is located in Yeadon and the bustling market town of Otley provides everything you are likely to need along with a beautiful River Wharfe setting. The area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty so there is plenty to discover!

DIRECTIONS - From the main A658 Harrogate road traffic lights north of Leeds Bradford Airport, follow Otley Old Road taking the first left into Carlton Lane. On entering the East Carlton, pass the first houses and park in the lay bay area on the left. Walk past a house called Lower Mistle down a gravel driveway and the Carlton Hall is located at the end via a driveway gate.
