Full description

This is a family home with impressive entertaining space and quiet, luxurious rooms for relaxing, it has a social 21st-century layout which includes a stunning kitchen diner with a huge dining area opening into the fantastic garden. All around the garden, there are areas to sit and drink in fabulous countryside views. This tranquil home is in the desirable village of Menston, a convenient but surprisingly peaceful location favoured by families and ideal for commuters as you can stroll to the station, shops, park and popular schools.

With off street parking, as well as a double garage and the station just a short stroll away, this imposing property is a dream location for those who need to commute. This elegant home is tucked away in a remarkably peaceful location, surrounded by glorious countryside.

This house is very inviting from the exterior, and once inside, the stately hallway does not disappoint, and although this is a large, expansive property, it feels homely, and family friendly.

Sunlight streams into the lounge through the dual aspect windows to the front and side of the house. This is a cosy room, with a thick carpet underfoot, perfect for chilling out in front of the TV.

The dining kitchen is fabulous, so much storage and worktop space, a huge kitchen island as well oodles of space for a dining table and sofa in front of the bi-fold doors which bring that gorgeous garden inside. With all the integrated appliances you could wish for as well as a Rangemaster Professional double range and space for a large American style fridge freezer- this is a fantastic hub to this amazing family home.

A second reception room overlooking the back garden, also with bi-fold doors is a versatile space- a snug, playroom or office- whatever suits your family’s needs. A handy necessity is the utility room, which again is beautifully finished including granite worktops, with plenty more storage space for those items you don’t use in the kitchen every day, and a door to one side to the garden and the other to the garage - perfect for supermarket deliveries.

Completing the accommodation on the ground floor is a downstairs loo and cloakroom, plenty of space for coats, shoes, ironing board and vacuum cleaner.

Upstairs to the first floor, if you haven’t already bought this property by now, you will discover five bedrooms, four doubles and a single. The master bedroom, as you would expect in a property of this calibre, has an ensuite and walk in wardrobe and the views over toward the Chevin are simply sublime! Three of the double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, storage is often overlooked, but not here. The house bathroom as you are probably now beginning to expect is perfectly finished with a contemporary white suite including built-in vanity units with granite tops.

The exterior of this property is as delightful as its interior. To the front, there is a large lawn area and a recently laid double driveway. To the rear there is a really good sized garden, with lots of established trees and shrubs, a large patio, raised planter for herbs and a wendy house. It is an interesting garden, private, enclosed and probably the best garden kids could wish for to play hide and seek!
