A tree-lined driveway leads to The Winnows, a high spec conversion completed in the early 2000s, and carefully updated by the current owners.
Its light and spacious interior has great charm and character, with a reception hall leading to accommodation that includes a beamed sitting room filled with natural light from large windows, the dining room, again with wooden beam, and a snug with fireplace and stove, a beamed breakfast kitchen, cloakroom and a utility room.
From the first floor landing is the principal bedroom with a large en suite bathroom, and a guest bedroom, again with its own en suite.
Above, on the second floor is the landing and study area, with two double bedrooms, both with under-eaves storage, and a modern shower room.
A courtyard provides parking for several vehicles, with a detached double garage.
The main gardens, facing south and west, are to the side and rear of the property.
A large gravel area is perfect for entertaining, with spectacular views over fields and woodland towards Swinsty Reservoir.
Beyond are sizeable lawned areas that are all bordered by dry stone walls.
The property is within easy reach of Harrogate and its wide range of services and amenities, and the towns of Otley and Ilkley, while commuters to Leeds and Bradford have the cities within 16 and 18 miles respectively.
