Dacre, Son & Hartley, Ilkley (01943) 600655

Set in the heart of stunning grounds of around 12 acres, with an additional 13 acres or so available by separate negotiation, this impressive five-bedroom home is undoubtedly one of Wharfedale's finest country properties – occupying a beautiful south-facing position just a couple of miles from the spa town of Ilkley.

Lane End Farm is a magnificent family home occupying a slightly elevated position above the highly-regarded 'no through road' village of Denton and from where there are stunning views to the south across Wharfedale towards Ilkley Moor.

This impressive family property, dating from around 1740, was originally a farmhouse and barn, but over the years has been significantly and sympathetically extended and improved, providing high-quality accommodation with an enviable specification and no shortage of space either internally or to the outside.

The house is entered through a large reception hall and provides character features throughout – with extensive exposed stone work, oak beams, oak joinery and stone mullioned double-glazed windows to a number of rooms, along with charming fireplaces.

There is a living room, a snug, dining room with original cast iron range, library with exposed stone floor, cloakroom, study, laundry room, and a large living kitchen – the centre piece of this lovely home – with garden room off – and an entertainment/music room with fitted oak bar, provision for a wall- mounted flat-screen television, while an indoor swimming pool and spa together with a changing room offer an excellent amenity.

There are five bedrooms, each with beautiful views to the south and with the master suite comprising a generously-proportioned bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room off. A CCTV and security system is installed.

The house provides seclusion and privacy and is offered for sale with approximately 4.9 Ha (12 acres), of gardens, paddocks and copse – a rare and stunning amenity which provides many an opportunity for lovely walks and stream/lakeside vistas.

A further 13 acres or so of mostly grazing land is positioned to the north of the grounds and is available by way of separate negotiation.

The sale of Lane End Farm offers a seemingly rare opportunity to acquire a very generous and well-appointed family home within the area’s most desirable and convenient locations.
