A truly exceptional stone built detached residence providing generously proportioned five bedroomed luxurious en-suite family sized accommodation, together with an integral double garage and a landscaped enclosed garden enjoying pleasant long distance views towards surrounding countryside.

This beautifully presented home proudly stands in a recently developed residential area surrounded by picturesque countryside, yet within close walking distance of the centre of the bustling market town of Skipton, 26 Whernside Road must be viewed to fully appreciate the high calibre of living space on offer.

The property is of the largest 'Turnberry' house type on the modern Spencer Grange development, benefiting from the remainder of a ten year NHBC Warranty and a high level of thermal insulation. The location is hard to improve on, positioned in a desirable residential area just off Harrogate Road, within walking distance of Skipton town centre whilst also being only a short five minute walk to/from Skipton Woods, an ancient area of woodland extending behind the spectacular Medieval Skipton Castle following the enchanting nature valley of Eller Beck, offering a wonderful natural habitat for bird and other wildlife whilst leading past the historic Springs Canal and directly down into the town centre itself.

With a substantial private driveway and integral double garage, UPVC sealed unit double glazing and mains gas central heating throughout, this truly exceptional house is comprised briefly:

A reception hall having large cloaks cupboard. Downstairs WC. A spacious living room. High quality open plan living/dining/kitchen fitted out with a range of premium Neff and Bosch appliances. Utility room with plumbing and space for an automatic washing machine and separate dryer. A snug room/study. On the first floor there is a landing with store cupboard. Five well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a range of bespoke built-in wardrobes and access to a luxurious en-suite shower room. Another en-suite accompanies the second bedroom. House bathroom with a separate shower enclosure and bath.

The large enclosed rear garden has been imaginatively landscaped and includes stone flagged patio, level lawn, well stocked colourful flower beds, a greenhouse, and a fixed gazebo.

The ever popular market town of Skipton has won many accolades in recent years, being independently judged to be one of the best areas to live in the UK via multiple media sources. Catering to residents of all ages, the town offers the perfect combination of excellent schooling, easy access to countryside and an extensive choice of leisure, shopping and recreational facilities.
