2 Rarely are we able to say that a house creates a real inspirational lifestyle appeal, but in this case such a statement is more than appropriate. Benefitting from truly magnificent uninterrupted views as far as the eye can see, through a 180 degree panoramic landscape of the Wharfe Valle, this exceptional property occupies a secluded position, accessed via a private road and nestled in to the countryside. Specifically designed to take full advantage of the superb outlook, the site upon which the property was built dates back to 1861 when it was used as the Water Filter Station (Known locally as the Water Board House). Approximately 5 years ago the current visionary owners set about the massive transformation project, using the original stone to create a totally unique and contemporary building totalling nearly 5700ft2, flooded with natural light in the principle rooms and finished to the highest specification throughout. Ready to move in to immediately the spacious accommodation has been cleverly designed in layout, with excellent versatility to suit the needs of a variety of different owners, particularly to the ground floor where extra bedroom accommodation can easily be introduced or a different room use if this was preferred. Under floor heating has been provided throughout and as expected with a house of such quality the property is fitted with the latest in high speed internet technology, integrated Sonos sound systems, audio visuals and communications, as well as high quality finishes in terms of all bathrooms and en suite facilities, with Duravit fittings and Hansgrohe tropical rain showers throughout. The accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance hall with access to all primary accommodation on the ground floor, triple garage and staircase leading to the first floor. The ground floor contains bedroom 4 with en suite shower room and adjacent steam and sauna room, entertainment room (suitable for a variety of uses), bedroom 2 with en suite bathroom/shower room, cinema room and spacious independent dressing room again with individual en suite, and ideal as a space to avoid disturbing the household on early morning starts. To the first floor is the heart of the house, orientated to take full advantage of the natural light and providing a range of multi functional living spaces centred around a magnificent kitchen area, which has a full range of top quality integrated appliances, perfect for family cooking and meals. There is a separate informal seating area with log burning stove, together with a separate study area. Beyond the kitchen the room takes full advantage of the expansive views and natural light with full width sliding doors leading on to a superb two tier terrace with hot tub, bringing the outside in to the house on warm sunny days where you are able to relax and soak up the atmosphere of country living. The luxurious master bedroom which has a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling, creating a real sense of space, is located on the second floor and, again, has been designed to take full advantage of the superb outlook, a joy every morning to wake up to and with its own private terrace as outside space.
