Property description

Hardwick House is an attractive Georgian style property which was built about 20 years ago, within the grounds of Ashfield House, a Grade II listed mansion which has been divided into a small select group of individual properties. It is approached via a meandering driveway off Weston Lane, with an electric gated entrance providing extra security.

Otley’s bustling town centre is about a 15-20 minute walk and provides an excellent range of facilities including three supermarkets – Waitrose, Asda and Sainsbury’s – along with a host of independent shops, good schools including Prince Henry’s Grammar School, a variety of sports clubs, a range of excellent pubs, restaurants and cafés and a nearby park with riverside walks. For the commuter, Otley is well located for daily travel to the surrounding business centres of Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate. There is a railway station in the neighbouring village of Menston which links to the Mainline in Leeds and Leeds/Bradford Airport is within a 15 minute drive.

The spacious and well planned accommodation is ideal for everyday family living and entertaining and features a central reception hall, off which leads the sitting room, conservatory, family room and study. The superb living kitchen forms the heart of the house with a fully fitted kitchen and an adjoining dining/sitting area, with double doors leading to the west facing rear garden. There is a side hall with stairs leading to the guest bedroom, which could also be utilised as a separate teenager’s suite. Within the main part of the house a staircase leads to the landing area with an impressive principal bedroom suite, together with four additional bedrooms, an en suite shower room and a house bathroom.

Outside, the property is delightfully set within a ½ acre garden, which is principally walled, forming part of the original kitchen garden to Ashfield House. Within the garden is a recently installed Oeco garden room providing an excellent addition, particularly for those who have a requirement for home working or a hobbies room. There are electrically operated entrance gates to Hardwick House as well as additional gates, again electrically operated, to the development itself. The property also has permissive access to the communal grounds known as Ashfield Park Gardens, which adjoin the lake and nature reserve.
