With its generous proportions, superb finishes and close proximity to Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales, Bells Farm combines heritage, comfort and setting in a truly exceptional home.<br /><br /> LOCATION <br />Enjoying an elevated position set back from the road, the property is perfectly placed between Skipton and Barnoldswick. Thornton-in-Craven is a well-regarded village with a strong community feel, village hall, medieval church and respected primary school. Skipton’s amenities, grammar schools, rail links and the Yorkshire Dales are all close by, making this ideal for family life and commuters alike.<br /><br />GROUND FLOOR <br />The rear of the house sets the tone immediately, with electric gates opening to a sizeable gravelled courtyard that provides ample parking. From here, the glazed wall of the kitchen can be seen, creating a striking first impression as you approach the rear entrance. The inner hallway features exposed brickwork and gives access to the main ground floor rooms as well as the return staircase. The dining kitchen is a standout space, filled with natural light thanks to the glazed wall and sliding doors that open directly onto the deck and garden. The room combines contemporary finishes with exposed roof trusses and oak flooring, creating a warm and inviting family hub. The kitchen offers extensive storage, granite worktops, a breakfast bar, high-quality integrated appliances large stainless-steel range cooker, and generous utility room making it both a practical and sociable area of the home. The formal dining room sits just off the hallway and offers a welcoming space for entertaining. A wood-burning stove adds a cosy feel, and there is access to the main front porch. Adjacent to this, the snug provides a more intimate place to relax, complete with an impressive arched fireplace, another wood-burning stove and exposed beams that complement the period feel. At the far end of the hall, the main living room opens into a truly impressive space. The full-height barn window draws in wonderful natural light, and the ceiling rises to the eaves with a glass gallery above, adding a dramatic architectural feature to the room. Oak flooring and a stone fireplace with a further wood-burning stove complete the space, making it ideal for both everyday living and larger gatherings. A study is positioned off this living room, offering a quiet and private place to work from home. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom and a separate W.C.<br /><br />FIRST FLOOR <br />The landing is spacious and gives access to all bedrooms and the house bathroom. The master suite sits away from the main landing and is reached via a glazed walkway that overlooks the living room below. This gives the suite a real sense of privacy. The bedroom itself is a generous double with exposed beams, and the en-suite bathroom has been finished in a contemporary style. A separate dressing room sits above and is reached by its own staircase from the bedroom. There are four further bedrooms on this floor, all of them good-sized doubles with attractive outlooks. The house bathroom serves these rooms and includes a four-piece suite with both bath and separate shower. The attic is boarded with lighting installed and provides useful additional storage.<br /><br />OUTSIDE <br />The front of the property has a fenced, low-maintenance garden with established planting. To the rear, the gravelled courtyard provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the substantial stone-built quadruple garage. This building is ideal for storage, hobbies or workshop use, and given its size, it may offer potential for conversion to annexe accommodation subject to the usual consents. The gardens at the back of the property have been finished to match the quality of the house itself. Several seating and dining areas are positioned to take advantage of the sun throughout the day and make the outdoor space ideal for entertaining. There is room for a hot tub, and the outdoor kitchen and bar create a fantastic social focal point. Across the lawn sits a newly built stone folly that has been designed in keeping with the original character of the farmhouse. With glazed roof lanterns, heat lamps, an open fireplace and a generous log store, it is a wonderful place to enjoy the garden all year round. Beyond this, a further lawned area extends the garden and enhances the sense of space. To one side, a curved-roof outbuilding offers a particularly versatile space. It is far larger internally than it appears from the outside and would suit a range of uses including a home office, studio, showroom or even potential annexe. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate how much this building offers.<br /><br />PLEASE NOTE <br />The extent of the property and its boundaries are subject to verification by inspection of the title deeds.
