Hello there! I'm thrilled you found your way to this lovely property we have nestled in the picturesque village of Thorpe in Skipton, North Yorkshire. Now, I know you're busy, so I'll get right into the nitty-gritty about this beautiful villa and what life in this part of the United Kingdom is all about.
First off, let’s talk about the villa itself. This stunning country residence, originally constructed way back in 1921, is the epitome of class and charm. Boasting a generous size of 292 square meters, it features five spacious bedrooms and four well-appointed bathrooms, perfect for a large family or someone who enjoys a bit of extra space. It's got all the makings of a family home or a luxurious retreat, and it comes at a competitive price of £1,579,500.
As you enter this wonderful home, you are greeted by a spacious porch that leads you straight to the heart of the property, a beautiful kitchen diner. Here, you’ll find everything you need: a selection of kitchen units, an induction stove, and oh, there's even a bespoke wine cellar. For those who enjoy entertaining—or just a cozy glass of wine in the evening—it's quite the feature!
From the dining hall, you move into the house where plenty of character details like panelled walls and stone fireplaces beckon you to explore further. The formal living room is adorned with dual aspect windows that bring in plenty of light, featuring a marvellous wood burning stove set against an antique marble surround. From here, you can enter the conservatory—a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while gazing at the splendid gardens and Yorkshire hills beyond.
Now, for the upstairs, quite a delight there too! A sweeping staircase leads you to five bedrooms, three of which are en suite, offering everyone their own little oasis to retreat to. One of the bedrooms even has its own built-in sauna for those colder English evenings. Maybe an extra bonus on moving days into this magnificent villa.
Outside this magnificent home, you're situatied on about half an acre of meticulously manicured gardens. Wrapped around three sides of the house, these gardens offer lots of options for enjoying the English outdoors right at home. There’s a flat garden with a pond, a terrace, and even a wonderful tree that's lit up fantastically in the evenings.
Located in North Yorkshire, this villa puts you right on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, renowned for its stunning beauty, peace, and outdoor activities. Thorpe village itself is a charming, quaint place where you can bask in the serenity of country life. Close by is Grassington, just a short drive away, which offers a delightful mix of shops, pubs, and places to grab a bite after a day exploring the dales.
For families, assembling an educational future is made easier with quality schooling available in nearby Grassington and the market town of Skipton, which also hosts plenty of shops and amenities. And let's not forget the convenience! Regular train service from Skipton to larger cities like Leeds, Bradford, and even London makes commuting or city shopping trips easily manageable.
Living in Skipton brings you the best of both worlds: the quaint charm of village life and the accessibility to bigger towns and cities. The climate around these parts swings from lovely warm summers perfect for garden picnics to cooler winters where the fireplace in your villa will be an absolute delight.
