Potential two bedroom apartment; three attached workshops / stores with development potential. Detached barn providing extensive storage.

The whole extending to 5.05 Ha (12.48 acres).
Intake Head Farm occupies a beautiful setting. To the south side, Burley Moor � a location from where this rural haven enjoys stunning views to the south along with ready access to the nearby towns of Ilkley and Guiseley and the cities of Leeds and Bradford.
The principal house provides excellent family accommodation, full of appealing character features including exposed beams, stone mullions and impressive fire places. To the ground floor are three spacious reception rooms, and these are complemented by a comprehensive range of domestic offices as well as a playroom to the western side. To the first floor are three good double bedrooms including a lovely master bedroom suite which has stunning views to the south. A former two bedroom apartment is integral to the main building and provides significant potential. To either side of the house are substantial outbuildings � presently providing workshop / storage space but with obvious scope to be integrated into the main house or to provide living space for a dependant relative �subject, of course, to any consents.
Intake Head Farm is approached by a long tarmacadam driveway which leads to an expansive cobbled finished forecourt. To one side are landscaped gardens whilst to the east is a modern detached barn providing storage and workshop space as well as scope for conversion to provide annex accommodation or perhaps a home based office � again subject to planning consent. The grounds that surround Intake Head Farm provide a wonderful amenity and are made up of a mix of paddocks, woodland, landscaped gardens along with a vegetable garden and orchard � an ideal retreat from the rat race!
The property is just a mile or so from Hawksworth Village and around 3 miles from Guiseley. The Victorian spa town of Ilkley is around 6 miles distant and is home to first class shopping, popular restaurants and sports clubs as well as other social and recreational amenities. 'Metro' railway stations can be joined at nearby Guiseley and Baildon and these provide services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford.
