Property description
**NO ONWARD CHAIN**
A large and spacious former farmhouse offering considerable potential to re-plan and create a stunning and conveniently positioned four or five bedroom semi detached country home (subject to consents). Enjoying some lovely far reaching views on a site which extends to over 2.25 acres to include grassland and cottage gardens.
Bankfoot Farm House enjoys a wonderful rural position benefitting from some lovely views across open countryside and the property's own paddock which is set to the south west of the house. The property has been much improved over the years and provides very generously proportioned three bedroom accommodation with a wealth of character features including exposed stonework and beams. More recent improvements have included the installation of a ground source energy system which provides both heating and domestic hot water.
As the accompanying floor plans show, Bankfoot Farm House has ample scope for the reconfiguration of the current accommodation and thus has great potential to form an ideal country family home � one that is set in the heart of open countryside and yet readily accessible for the principal local towns. For the traveller the location provides good road access into the regions business centres, and 'metro' rail services can be accessed at Ilkley and provide frequent services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford. An international airport is just some ten miles or so distant.
The nearby village of Timble is one of the area's most popular and sought after communities and is now a home to a renowned gastropub. There are some stunning walks to be had within the immediate vicinity, whilst local amenities including first class shopping, excellent restaurants and sporting amenities are on offer within all three of the local towns. There are also a number of private schools for children of all ages within comfortable daily travelling distance.
