Backing directly onto open fields and countryside whilst commanding the most spectacular long distance panoramic views over the village and across the Aire Valley, this imaginatively extended detached character home enjoys a truly enviable semi-rural position raised up on the edge of the highly sought after village of Cononley offering generous and extremely versatile five bedroom en-suite accommodation including excellent gated driveway parking together with remarkable landscaped gardens extending to the front and rear, attracting a wide variety of birds and other wildlife and therefore providing a particularly attractive and appealing feature.

Originally constructed in 1924 and offering an extensive range of period character features, this extremely distinctive double bay fronted detached property certainly represents a very special opportunity indeed, having been subject to a significant scheme of modernisation and improvement in recent years whilst still retaining a wonderful degree of individual charm and character that must be experienced first hand in order to be fully appreciated.

The interior has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded to provide an impressive refitted breakfast kitchen, cleverly designed to take advantage of the magnificent open aspect across the valley whilst incorporating a fabulous range of stylish and contemporary fitted units including a large central island/breakfast bar and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. The very generous ground floor accommodation could be used in a variety of configurations, ideal for a growing family or those now working from home and includes a useful rear entrance porch, a utility room, a dining room with gas stove, a store room, a traditional front reception hall, a lovely front sun porch, a living room with bay window, two ground floor bedrooms, a stylish ground floor shower room and a separate WC. All the ground floor bedrooms and reception rooms enjoy superb views over the surrounding countryside. To the first floor there are three further bedrooms including a magnificent master bedroom suite with fitted dressing room and luxurious limited en-suite shower room with high quality contemporary suite. The master bedroom also benefits from the delightful open aspect across the valley.

Externally the wonderful landscaped gardens also take advantage of the tremendous views over the surrounding fields and countryside with the elevated rear garden including a range of well stocked flower and vegetable beds interspersed with pathways, patios and sitting areas together with a timber decking area, a useful garden shed and even a small polytonal. Overall, a real gardeners and nature lovers paradise! The gardens have been a real passion for the current vendors who have enjoyed them for over two decades and have invested a great deal of time and care in creating a colourful, nature friendly outdoor space which perfectly complements the attractive rural setting attracting a wide variety of birds, butterflies and other wildlife whilst offering a peaceful place to relax and unwind. The front garden includes a range of neatly kept evergreen hedges and specimen bushes and incorporates a secluded pathway meandering down to a gated entrance at the bottom.

The popular and highly sought after village of Cononley offers a good range of local amenities including a well respected primary school and nursery, a village hall, two public houses and a railway station.
