Crown House, Skipton Road, Cononley BD20 8NH

Constructed in random Yorkshire stone and possibly dating back in excess of 200 years, this deceptively spacious detached property has an interesting history, once forming The Crown Inn public house; the whole now extending to approximately 1700 square feet (plus 2 useful cellar rooms) with a quirky layout covering alternating floor levels briefly including 2 Reception Rooms, 4 Double Bedrooms, a Secret Drawer Kitchen, a Study or 5th Bedroom and a En-Suite Shower Room.

The property is beautifully maintained and includes high quality Bathroom fittings which have recently been improved, but also retains many traditional features including attractive beams, panelled doors and a feature stone fireplace with a multi fuel stove combined with the modern comforts of double glazing & gas fired central heating (with all mains services connected to the house).

Cononley is a sought after semi rural village locally known for having a highly acclaimed primary school and a train station providing excellent network links; also being well placed just outside Skipton with a choice of popular country walks virtually on the doorstep.

Crown House boasts fantastic views from easily maintained gardens on 2 sides and will appeal to purchasers searching for somewhere a little different, with the accommodation in detail comprising:
