Belle Hill, Raines Lane, Grassington

NO FORWADR CHAIN...

Belle Hill is set at the far end of the exclusive Raines Lane, in Grassington. There is much to write about with regard to this amazing property, and we will endeavor to condense this and allow the photographs and the 3D Virtual Viewing Tour do most of the talking.

We had the pleasure of selling this property to the current vendors a number of years ago, and since then they have set about an extensive program of refurbishment and upgrading, along with a superb multi-glazed extension.

Having some delightful views from the principal living / reception rooms across farmland onto Grassington Woods, this is an exceptional bungalow just a few minutes walk from the village square.

Passing into the superb new extension to the property, featuring a triple aspect from an abundance of windows bringing in exceptional amounts of natural light and being an open-ceiling up to the roof spars. A delightful snug / living area, having a wood-burning stove.

It is not easy to find words of how unique and impressive the rear garden is. The walled and gabion terraces provide a number of different areas to attract the eye and to enjoy relaxing and entertaining. Having timber garden shed and greenhouse. These very well stocked gardens are clearly the owners pride and joy, and have fantastic views from the top tiers.
