General remarks:
Converted at the turn of the millennium by highly regarded developers, R N Wooler & Co. Ltd., Top Barn is discreetly positioned on the edge of the much sought after village of Hetton, enjoying a charming location with some delightful views towards beautiful open countryside, whilst the history of the property dates back to agricultural roots of this conveniently positioned southern Dales community.
Top Barn seamlessly blends individual character with the requirements of modern day living, the ground floor presenting three excellent reception rooms – two of which have direct garden access and aspects towards the south west – whilst a large dining kitchen offers plenty of space for the needs of a family and is complemented by both a cloakroom and a generously proportioned laundry/boot room.
To the first floor there are four sizeable double bedrooms, the majority of which have fitted wardrobes, whilst the principal bedroom also has its own stylish Ensuite bathroom off – supplementing the property’s well-appointed house bathroom.
The house has the advantage of ample parking, with the double garage being approached by a full width driveway. There is a secondary gated access with hard standing beyond, whilst the gardens provide a lovely amenity and are mostly laid to lawn with flower borders and a broad terrace adjacent to the family room and study.
Hetton is without question one of the most desirable of the southern Dales villages, occupying a stunning location whilst enjoying excellent accessibility to the bustling market town of Skipton, some 5.5 miles to the south and forming a hub from where there are excellent commuter links with Harrogate and also Clitheroe and East Lancashire. The setting amidst some of Yorkshire’s finest countryside offers seemingly endless opportunities for breathtaking walks, cycling and other country pursuits.
Skipton provides excellent shopping, with ‘high street’ stores rubbing shoulders with a colourful array of independent shops. There are numerous dining, sporting and other social amenities, whilst from the town’s railway station there are regular services throughout the day into both Leeds and Bradford, with regular onward connections to London Kings Cross. The town is home to both Ermysted’s Grammar School and Skipton Girls’ High School. A number of private schools for children of all ages are within daily travelling distance.
The large villages of Gargrave (4.5 miles), and Grassington (5 miles) are both just a few minutes’ drive away and enjoy a broad provision of facilities to satisfy everyday needs.
