Renshaw Farm House is a delightful detached stone property, having been sympathetically renovated and upgraded over recent years without detracting from its inherent charm and character, so that many of the original features dating back to its origins of 1640 are still in evidence today. The ground floor has no less than four reception rooms, giving a degree of versatility, and whilst there is a modern oil-fired central heating system (radiators and underfloor heating on a dual system), there are also open fires/stoves to three of the reception rooms. The breakfast kitchen is conveniently placed in the centre of the ground floor, so that it becomes the focus of the accommodation, with the reception rooms leading away from it. Also on the ground floor is a generous guest double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, and on the first floor there are three further double bedrooms, the principal of which has an en-suite shower room, whilst there is also a spacious family bathroom. Outside, there are lawned gardens and a substantial stone flagged terrace facing south/west to maximise on the afternoon and evening sun, beyond which there is a double garage and log-store.
This traditional Dales farm house is located in the heart of this picturesque hamlet, alongside the village green which gives traditional and ancient rights to all Conistone villagers to stroll down to the river if they should wish. Conistone-with-Kilnsey is regarded as one of the Dales' most sought-after hamlets - just over the River Wharfe from the famous Kilnsey Crag, it has its own public house and is approximately four miles away from Grassington which offers both primary and secondary education as well as a good range of shops and amenities. The market town of Skipton is approximately 11 miles to the south, providing good road networks and a railway station with services through to Bradford, Leeds and a daily train to London Kings Cross.
All-in-all, Renshaw Farm House is a lovely and comfortable home which is light and spacious, and is presented to a high standard. Grade II listed, it boasts a wealth of character features including stone windowsills, exposed beams, stone mullions and three stone fireplaces, complemented by internal timber latched doors, a dual oil-fired central heating system and double glazed windows throughout.

There is a Double Tandem Garage measuring 33' x 10'3" with up-and-over door, power/light supplies and a courtesy door. At the back of the garage is the oil tank and a stone log store.
Being within a predominant limestone area, the garden features lime stone walling and a rockery garden, also with a stone flagged patio, conifer garden and lawn. In addition and as a resident of the parish, fishing rights are included on a stretch of the River Wharfe nearby.
