3 bed detached house for sale

Askwith Lane, Askwith, Otley, North Yorkshire LS21

Offered with no onward chain Moorside Cottage is a charming stone-built three-bedroom detached home enjoying a semi-rural setting with Ilkley and Otley a short drive away, ideal for those looking for a quieter way of life without feeling too isolated.

Over recent years this property has undergone a considerable programme of reconfiguration whilst the period charm has been fully retained. It would suit a single person, couple, small family or investment opportunity.

From the moment you step inside Moorside Cottage there is a wonderful sense of warmth creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout. The interior is particularly appealing, with exposed beams, stone flagged floors, wooden floors and stone detailing all of which you’d expect to find in a property of its era.

To the ground floor is a pleasant dining area leading to the kitchen which has a range of units, plumbing for a washing machine and the bonus of a useful underfloor wine storage area. The principle sitting room has an impressive stone fireplace with log burning stove as previously mentioned providing a place to unwind and relax. There is a further separate room to the ground floor which has many uses, for example it could be an office, playroom, music room or occasional bedroom. To the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles and a smart bathroom benefiting from underfloor heating.

Mains water, electricity and drainage are installed with oil central heating from a recently installed external combi boiler and quality renewed sealed unit double glazing including a timber stable front door.

Outside is a level lawned southerly facing enclosed lawned cottage garden and patio area with climbing wisteria and roses to be admired in the summer months, a wonderful space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the surrounding countryside. A useful timber outbuilding also provides additional storage.

The Village of Askwith is situated within North Yorkshire and the much-favoured south facing side of the Wharfe Valley, between Ilkley and Otley. Askwith Primary School is a short stroll away as is The Penny Bun, a local bar and restaurant enjoying local produce.
The nearest railway station is Ben Rhydding, for those overseas commuters Leeds Bradford International Airport is also a short distance away.

Sellers Comments

“We have loved living in Moorside Cottage, which visitors often say reminds them of the charming cottage in The Holiday. We will be incredibly sad to leave. Full of character and warmth, it has been part of our family for over 10 years and holds many happy memories. Our daughter has loved attending Askwith Primary School ‘Outstanding Ofsted’, with the easy walk there a real bonus. We love the local country walks from the cottage, often finishing with a drink at The Penny Bun!”
