Bracken Hill is approached by a sweeping, tree-lined tarmacadam driveway and stands on a plot extending to around 3.34 acres, made-up of delightful gardens, stream and paddocks which surround the house. The driveway offers ample parking and leads to an outbuilding, currently subdivided to provide extensive storage and workshop/studio space, and which could easily and quickly be returned to the original large double garage at 19'x 17'.)

Bracken Hill enjoys a lovely location on the edge of the highly regarded village of Burley Woodhead, surrounded by gardens and paddocks which afford a high degree of privacy as well as providing excellent amenity for those with either space consuming hobbies, equestrian or small holding interests.

A much-loved family home, the property has been extended in the past to offer excellent ground floor living with two principal reception rooms, a well-appointed dining kitchen, as well as a lovely garden room which is positioned to the rear and enjoys delightful aspects over the well-stocked gardens. The first floor offers four good bedrooms, three of which have fitted wardrobes and a pair also having ensuite/washroom facilities supplementing the house bathroom. The property has an extensive part boarded loft that is accessed via a slingsby ladder. Planning consent was granted in March 2024 (subject to conditions) to extend the living space at the first floor to create an impressive bedroom suite with dressing and ensuite areas, see attached floor plans and elevation sketches.

Adjacent to the main house is a substantial outbuilding which is currently subdivided to provide very useful storage and workshop/studio space (please note this room was created as an office/workspace during Covid and could easily and quickly be returned to the original large double garage 19'x 17'.) This area, along with the grounds, provides an excellent facility to this rural yet extremely accessible home.

Burley Woodhead has long been regarded as one of the area’s most sought after communities - the village enjoying a beautiful setting on the edge of Wharfedale from where there are commanding views towards the Vale of York and the surrounding moors. The village has its own popular pub whilst, a short drive down Moor Lane leads into Burley in Wharfedale where there are everyday local shops and other amenities along with a couple of primary schools.

The former Victorian spa town of Ilkley is just some 3.5 miles distant and is home to vibrant shopping with local stores rubbing shoulders with ‘high street’ brands. There is a broad choice of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms whilst other facilities include a local cinema and the popular Winter Gardens. For the commuter, rail services can be joined in Ilkley, Burley and Menston and offer frequent links throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford – with onward connections from the former to London King’s Cross.
