2 bedroom detached house

An increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a characterful two bedroom detached residence with lots of potential, now in need of updating and set within generous and largely private gardens.

An increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a substantial two bedroom detached residence dating back to the early 1900's, the original lodge to the main entrance gates for Scalebor Park Hospital and latterly the home of the former Head Gardener of the same for over 40 years.
Set in generous mature gardens, this lovely property benefits from much character and charm and would now benefit from refurbishment with huge potential to create further accommodation by way of extending, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

The accommodation comprises on the ground floor a glazed entrance porch with door leading into the entrance hall which has the staircase to the first floor and a useful understair cupboard.
A door leads into the lounge which has a fireplace with inset gas fire and a deep window to the front elevation. A door then leads into the kitchen dining room which has a range of pine wall base and drawer units with working surfaces over, ceiling beams, a window to the side elevation and a door to the rear. From the inner hall there is access to a very useful walk in pantry/store. Continuing the ground floor there is a further sitting room which has a stone fireplace housing a gas fire, windows are to the front and rear elevations. On the first floor are two generously proportioned double bedrooms along with the house bathroom. Outside the property is complimented by a superb plot surrounded by mature trees. A paved driveway provides parking and gives access to the garage. There are then three outside stores to the rear of the property and a wall enclosed courtyard area. The front and side gardens are wall enclosed with formal lawns surrounded by a wealth of mature trees, shrubs and flowers affording a great deal of privacy. Steps lead from here to Rushy Beck which is on the boundary of the garden.

The village of Burley-in-Wharfedale is to be found roughly mid-way between the local towns of Ilkley and Otley, surrounded by open countryside, but never the less well placed for the West Yorkshire business traveller. From the village's own railway station there are frequent services throughout the day in to both the local cities of Leeds and Bradford. Burley retains a surprisingly broad provision of everyday amenities including local shops, pubs/restaurants, churches of a number of denominations and two outstanding primary schools. Equally both local towns offer their own character and style of retail and recreational amenities, with Ilkley in particular being home to a first class shopping environment and a number of highly regarded sports clubs.

From our office on Station Road proceed up towards the station. After passing under the railway bridge the property will be found on the right and identified by our Dacre Son and Hartley For Sale board.
