This outstanding individual stone cottage provides superbly appointed accommodation of exceptional merit including a host of charming character features successfully contrasted with the advantages of gas central heating, sealed unit double glazing, quality fittings and fixtures.

Internal inspection is absolutely essential and the property is conveniently located on the level within the very popular village of Gargrave overlooking the war memorial garden with distant views towards the banks of the River Aire.

Including exposed beams and trusses, stone mullioned windows, substantial pine internal doors and an original stone surround to the fireplace which incorporates a solid fuel stove, this beautifully presented home with many additional thoughtful refinements is unusually well equipped and has been the subject of considerable expenditure in recent years on comprehensive refurbishment.

The property offers briefly - an entrance vestibule, a charming living room including a cast iron multi-fuel stove together with a spacious dining kitchen incorporating stylish contemporary units with built-in appliances and a useful under stair store/utility cupboard. The spacious main bedroom on the first floor includes fitted wardrobes, exposed beams and a feature truss together with a galleried mezzanine store area. There is also a stylish contemporary shower room with a quality three piece cream suite and distinctive travertine mosaic tiling. To the front of the property is an easily manageable garden whilst at the rear is a small open plan stone flagged and cobbled area .

Surrounded by open countryside adjacent to the River Aire and the Leeds/Liverpool canal, Gargrave is served by a good variety of local amenities including everyday shops, a sub post office, a chemist, public houses, cafes and a restaurant, a Church, a primary school, a regular bus service and even a railway station.

The historic market town of Skipton known as the 'Gateway to the Dales' is only circa four miles away providing extensive shopping and recreational facilities together with excellent secondary schooling. The business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance.
