Originally converted approximately 20 years ago, this stunning home was thoughtfully designed by the current owners to create a superb balance of character and contemporary living. The property retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and striking barn windows, seamlessly combined with high quality modern fittings throughout.<br/><br/>Approached via electric gates and a sweeping driveway, the property enjoys an immediate sense of privacy and space. A glazed entrance porch leads into an impressive dining hallway, where a feature barn window frames views across the stone patio. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout, enhancing both comfort and efficiency.<br/><br/>The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and ideal for both family living and entertaining. The main lounge is filled with natural light and centres around a gas fireplace. A second sitting room, rich in character, benefits from two sets of doors to the stone flagged terraces and provides a more relaxed living space. A discreetly positioned home office offers a quiet working environment, with direct access to the stone flagged terrace.<br/><br/>At the heart of the home lies a contemporary dining kitchen, fitted with Siematic units and granite worktops, alongside a comprehensive range of Bosch integrated appliances including two double ovens, microwave and induction hob. Bifold doors open seamlessly into a striking orangery, creating an exceptional entertaining space with direct access onto the landscaped gardens. A well equipped utility room, with integrated Bosch dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, provides further storage and internal access to the integral double garage with electric doors.<br/><br/>To the first floor, a contemporary staircase leads to a characterful landing with original exposed beams. The principal suite offers a fully fitted walk in dressing room and a modern ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk in shower and twin basins. A second bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by a stylish house bathroom. One bedroom also provides access to extensive loft storage above the garage.<br/><br/>The grounds are a particular highlight of this remarkable home. Extending to approximately four acres, they offer a wonderful blend of formal gardens and paddock land. The immediate gardens are beautifully landscaped, with a large stone terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto manicured lawns. Beyond this, paddocks to both the front and rear provide excellent space for grazing, complete with a timber field shelter suitable for horses or other livestock. <br/><br/>Wike is a highly desirable semi rural hamlet, ideally positioned between Alwoodley and East Keswick, offering a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities at Slaid Hill including a public house, convenience stores and independent shops. The area is also well served by a number of renowned golf courses and well regarded schools including The Grammar School at Leeds and Gateways. <br/><br/>This outstanding home offers the perfect combination of rural tranquillity and modern convenience, and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.<br/><br/>Services: We are advised the property has mains water, electricity and gas, with a private sewage treatment system.
