The property
Having been formed from the combination and sympathetic renovation of a former bakery and associated accommodation, this charming B listed stone built detached property now offers substantial family accommodation which offers a great degree of flexibility - ideal for meeting the ever changing demands of modern family life or perhaps to cater for multi-generational living / B&B opportunities. The scale of this unique property is not at all apparent from first impressions neither is the super south/west facing garden; a wonderful space with fantastic levels of privacy. To add to the intrigue, towards the bottom of the garden there is also a detached double storey garage or studio which offers fantastic potential and possible conversion opportunities.

Accommodation
The ground floor accommodation offers fantastic flexibility with a number of the rooms lending themselves to different uses depending on requirements. The traditional entrance hall features the original Victorian tiled floor and ensures a lovely warm welcome plus good built in storage. The formal dining room extends off; a fabulous space for entertaining with a lovely garden aspect to the front and usefully positioned next to the kitchen. Having been refitted with a range of stylish and contemporary units, the kitchen also overlooks the garden and benefits from a large walk in larder offering fantastic storage. The garden room beyond gives outdoor access and has an adjoining utility cupboard. Enjoying the best aspect over the garden is the conservatory; a worthy addition to the property and a wonderfully peaceful room with sun throughout the day; glazed on all sides and with French doors ensuring a lovely connection to the outside space. The family room and sitting room are both located within what would have been the bakery building; the family room with a dual aspect to the south and east whilst the sitting room boasts generous proportions and extends to over 20 ft in length. Although currently not on display it is believed that the original oven doors are still in situ and could be opened up to provide an impressive feature. Triple windows looks towards the Church yard opposite and there is also a connecting door to the internal larder which in turn leads to the kitchen. Usefully on the ground floor there is also a cloakroom accessed off the rear hall/second entrance with door off Kirkgate. The upper floor hosts four double bedrooms and is accessed via two staircases; the principal staircase extends off the entrance hall below whilst the secondary staircase leads from the rear hall. The master bedroom is an impressive room with window to the south over the garden. The luxurious en-suite bathroom has been well planned with a free standing bath and separate shower cubicle. Bedrooms two, three and four are all nicely sized double rooms and offer plenty of room for free standing furniture; all are served by the well-appointed upstairs shower room. Finally there is a dressing room located between the master bedroom and bedroom two which could easily offer alternative uses as a home office if required with a front facing window.
