NO FORWARD CHAIN
A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional stone built three bedroom family sized house located in the exclusive and picturesque hamlet of Thorpe, with an off road parking area at the front and a sizable private garden whilst enjoying stunning long distance open countryside views.
This well maintained property provides living accommodation of good proportions including a snug/home office on the ground floor which could potentially serve as a fourth double bedroom if required. Rookery Cottage enjoys a perfect blend of modern fixtures and fittings together with the retention of original character features such as stone mullioned windows and an open inglenook fireplace in the spacious living room.
Equipped with UPVC sealed unit double glazing throughout and gas central heating fueled by a Calor gas propane tank outside. This wonderful home situated in an idyllic setting, is comprised briefly:
Entrance porch. Living room with an attractive open fireplace. Dining kitchen including built-in appliances. Utility room. Snug room/Home office. On the first floor there are three well planned bedrooms. A landing. Large house bathroom with a four piece suite providing a separate bath and walk-in shower enclosure. Outside at the front there is an off road parking area. The rear garden predominantly planned on one raised level offers a very pleasant space to enjoy, including established lawn and flowerbed borders. Two mature trees. A vegetable plot. Hard-standing area suitable for a garden room/workshop. Out-building with light and shelving. Stone flagged patio areas.
The beautiful hamlet of Thorpe is located approximately two miles south of the "Yorkshire Dales capital" village of Grassington. Thorpe is a highly admired formation of individual prestigious properties, some of which date back to the sixteenth and seventeenth century, with a manicured green and a beck in its centre. The hamlet has a timeless quality that is difficult to replicate, and those lucky enough to live in this exclusive community enjoy a peaceful rural setting with truly superb fell and countryside walks virtually on the doorstep.
The popular Yorkshire Dales villages of Grassington and Threshfield are only approximately a ten minutes drive away. The villages combined provide a good range of local amenities including primary and secondary schooling, public house, extensive range of shops and restaurants in Grassington and delightful rural walks along the banks of the River Wharfe.
The historic market town of Skipton, known as the 'Gateway to the Dales', is only circa nine miles away to the south whilst the business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance.
With much to commend it whilst certainly providing discerning home buyers a rare and exciting opportunity, this fantastic three bedroomed house is described in further detail:
