30 Shortbank Road, Skipton, BD23 2LH

This attractively improved and well equipped individual three bedroomed inner town-house has the advantage of an unusually large rear garden and is very pleasantly situated in a popular residential area only circa two thirds of a mile away from Skipton town centre amenities whilst the moors and beautiful open countryside are also nearby.

Including gas central heating, UPVC sealed unit double glazing, quality fittings and fixtures, this very appealing home offers considerably more than at first meets the eye and is strongly recommended indeed for inspection.

The property comprises briefly:

An entrance porch, an entrance hall, a living room, a well equipped fitted kitchen with built-in appliances, a utility room/study and a spacious sun room extension enjoying fine views across the delightful large rear garden. On the first floor are three bedrooms (one including a shower cubicle) and a stylish bathroom with a quality white suite including a shower to the bath. There is a flagged front garden. The unusually large, enclosed established and imaginatively landscaped rear garden provides a very attractive feature including flagged sitting out areas, a timber decking, flower beds, bushes, a mature tree, two garden ponds (one well stocked with fish) and a waterfall. There are also timber garden sheds and a good sized summerhouse/garden room. A side passageway also gives access through to the front of the property.

The increasingly 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. The town is intersected by the scenic Leeds/Liverpool canal and is well known for its Medieval Church and Castle together with a bustling High Street featuring an outdoor market on the cobbled 'setts' four days a week. The town offers an excellent mix of independent shops, pubs and cafés in addition to having well known branded stores and a choice of fashionable bars and restaurants. There are excellent public transport links, including a railway station providing regular daily services to Leeds and Bradford. The town enjoys an annual programme of community events and festivals, attracting an ever increasing degree of tourism. In addition, the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park is only a short drive away to the north, offering some of the finest countryside and scenery in the UK.
