Whitehouse Farm & Cottage, Skipton Road, Farnhill BD20 9BT

Occupying a large plot with extensive lawned gardens and 2 further paddocks to the rear (3.3 acres approx.) backing onto Leeds Liverpool canal, this highly individual 4 bedroomed farmhouse stands alongside a more recently converted holiday cottage (also having 4 bedrooms) which generates a ready-made income but could also provide independent ancillary accommodation.

The farmhouse has been improved & significantly extended, with the bedrooms being complemented by a Walk-in Wardrobe & large En-Suite to the master, 2 generous Reception Rooms (the smaller of the 2 could be used as a ground floor 5th bedroom), a Utility, Cloakroom and a spacious open plan Kitchen & Dining Room.

The cottage provides 3 conventional first floor bedrooms with an En-Suite & House Bathroom, also having a ground floor 4th Bedroom with a second En-Suite, Cloakroom, large Dining Kitchen and a generous Sitting Room.

The fashionable village of Farnhill is well known for its moorland & canal sidewalks and the popular White Lion public house, with the everyday facilities and amenities in Cross Hills village centre just a mile away and Airedale Hospital and Steeton & Silsden Railway Station within short travelling distance by car.

Also including a Double Garage, parking for several cars, a greenhouse, hens and an orchard of fruit trees, the property provides a lifestyle choice befitting of the semi rural village location and in detail comprises:
