" Found in this idyllic location surrounded by open countryside yet only a short drive from Addingham village and Ilkley with their wide range of amenities and transport links, this most attractive stone built barn conversion, has been sympathetically renovated and extended by the current owner to provide generous and flexible accommodation, set within attractive gardens which enjoy stunning far reaching rural views.



It is rare that properties such as Gate Croft Barn come to the market which combine attractive character features in a rural position, yet within only a short drive to both Addingham and Ilkley. The barn which was sympathetically and thoughtfully converted by its current owner provides a stunning home.

The generous accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes an entrance hall utilising the original barn opening which provides access to a cloaks area, WC, study, large sitting room with feature fireplace, garden room with views over the garden and beyond. There is also a dining room, snug with wood burning stove, a good sized dining kitchen with utility and boot room off.

To the first floor, the stairs lead to an impressive landing area featuring the original arched window and exposed stone walls and provides access to a principal bedroom of excellent proportion, with its own built in wardrobes, dressing area and ensuite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, one having an ensuite and the two remaining bedrooms having access to useful storerooms.

To the outside, the property sits well within well stocked and established gardens enjoying fantastic views and good levels of privacy. Approaching the property, the driveway provides ample parking for a number of cars and access to a double garage with separate workshop to the rear.

To the southern side of the property is an open area with a beck next to which runs a public footpath. Surrounding the property to the south and western aspects, an attractive landscaped garden includes paved seating areas, well stocked planted beds and mature planting running round to the northern aspect, all of which is enclosed by dry stone walling.

Gate Croft Barn is set in a stunning location positioned on the edge of open countryside just a few miles from the village of Addingham, with its broad range of everyday amenities including churches of a number of denominations, popular pubs restaurants, and primary school. The former Victorian spa town of Ilkley is approximately 3 miles distant and is well known for its colourful shopping environment where high street stores rub shoulders with independent shops. These are complimented by an excellent choice of restaurants, cafes and tearooms whilst other social amenities include a theatre, cinema, the popular Winter Gardens and medical services. Ilkley offers excellent commuter links with frequent rail services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford, and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London Kings Cross. The surrounding countryside offers many an opportunity for rural pursuits from cycling to golf and beautiful unspoilt walks and the Yorkshire Dales National Park is less than five miles away.
