An exceptional detached property, privately positioned amidst superb mature gardens and grounds extending to about six acres Stonesfield House is an impressive stone built detached residence occupying a private position within its own mature grounds, on the rural fringes of Burn Bridge, enjoying a southerly aspect and views across the Crimple Valley. This highly individual and striking family home offers extensive accommodation approaching 6,000 sq ft with ancillary space including a separate guest cottage, a gardener's store and garaging extending to 1,400 sq ft. Many of the key rooms are of near perfect proportion, all with a southerly aspect and as a result bathed in copious amounts of natural light, with family living and entertaining very much in mind. Much of the interior has been improved and redecorated in neutral tones, the windows have been upgraded to quality hardwood double glazed units by Allen Brothers of Newcastle and the external stone and paintwork recently refurbished. Solid oak front doors lead to an entrance lobby and grand reception hall, with sweeping staircase rising to the galleried landing, provides access to the formal drawing room extending to 23'9” with picture windows framing beautiful views across the front and rear gardens, leading onto a large family room (formerly a billiard room). Directly off the entrance hall is also the formal dining room which is large enough to provide another sitting area but could cater for a 24 seater table if desired. Leading off this is a conservatory with heated tiled flooring, flowing seamlessly into the breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances including a gas fired ‘Wolf' range and quality built in appliances. Completing the ground floor is a sizeable utility room and home office with bespoke fittings by Clarity Arts. To the first floor, there is a principal suite with dressing area with range of fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom with under floor heating, four further double bedrooms, one with 14'7” sitting room, two with en-suite bathrooms. There is an additional house bathroom upgraded and designed by Clarity Arts, also with under floor heating. All the bedrooms enjoy contrasting views of the gardens and surrounding countryside, many double aspect and filled with natural light. The property also benefits from a stone built detached cottage with dining kitchen, 16'1” lounge, double bedroom and bathroom. This stands close to the entrance gates (recently updated) and has its own parking area and patio garden to the rear. In addition to this the property benefits from a stone built gardener's store/workshop and a separate triple garage. Stonesfield House stands in the middle of its mature gardens and grounds which feature extensive sweeping lawned areas, dotted with some beautiful specimen trees, enhanced by a high stone wall and wide boundary filled with mature hedges and mature trees which ensure privacy and seclusion. At various points around the perimeter, which has a meandering path along its length, are some delightful views across the Crimple Valley towards Armscliffe Crag and in the opposite direction towards Pannal. A gated in/out driveway provides easy access to a large parking and turning area adjacent to the house and garage. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
