About this property
Set amongst a variety of stylish homes, each with their range of external finishes; sits number 30 standing proudly on a large plot of 0.12 acres and gives a sense of space as it looks out onto a quiet lane that winds its way through Goldington Drive. With its iconic Appleby Castle Red composite front door and garage door, it feels both modern but a touch of heritage.
Green spaces are abundant on Bongate Cross and adds a softness to the landscape that few modern developments offer.
Built in 2018, this incredible family home has four double bedrooms and an exceptionally large and desirable garden. The property is a Warwick design and rarely comes to market.
Let us park the car on the large brickwork driveway and walk along the pathway that leads up to the smart modern composite front door. Admire the red brick construction which is reminiscent of the glory days of the golden railway era and if you are lucky, enjoy the gentle roll of a passing steam train, as the house has the most glorious view of the world-famous Settle to Carlisle line.
Walk into the spacious Hallway where you are greeted by a very stylish interior. The standout feature is the mezzanine level hallway which gives a grandeur to the space.
The newly fitted panelling on the lower mezzanine and the upper is in muted tones and adds a characterful feel.
Moduleo flooring with a mixture of warm and cooler tones runs through the Hallway and into the Kitchen diner, giving a very even flow of space. A large Velux window cascades easterly light down into the space making the welcome warm and bright.
From the expansive hallway we can access the large and bright Family Lounge; which is split into two rooms via a modern sliding barn door, the Downstairs WC, the Kitchen Diner and the staircase which leads to the upper mezzanine landing.
For now, let us explore the Family Lounge and the views onto the Garden which will definitely capture your heart.
