Gill Top, Cowling, North Yorkshire, BD22 0LU

Available with no onward chain, Gill Top House is a substantial and well-maintained detached period residence occupying an elevated position with far-reaching views across open countryside. The property offers extensive and highly versatile accommodation extending to five double bedrooms, providing an excellent opportunity for multi-generational living or, subject to minor internal alterations, the creation of a self-contained holiday cottage.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive breakfast kitchen, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and a traditional AGA. A central island with breakfast seating provides additional workspace and storage, while large windows frame attractive open views and allow for an abundance of natural light. The kitchen also benefits from direct access to a well-equipped utility room.

There are two reception rooms, both generous in size, with many character features. The main living-dining room features exposed stonework, timber beams and a feature fireplace, offering ample space for both entertaining and formal dining, with direct access onto the south-facing rear garden. The formal lounge provides a more private family area, with a multi-fuel stove set within a stone fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden. A private staircase rises from here to the principal bedroom, further enhancing the flexibility of the layout.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors and comprises five well-proportioned double bedrooms. A secondary landing creates a natural division within the property, forming an ideal suite for relatives, guests, or potential holiday let use. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and en suite shower facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by two well-appointed bathrooms, in addition to a ground floor cloakroom.

A particular feature of Gill Top House is the well-maintained gardens and outside space. The extensive south-facing gardens are thoughtfully arranged over several levels, designed to take full advantage of the elevated position and open views. Immediately adjoining the property are stone-flagged terraces, ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining. Beyond this, there are generous lawned areas, mature planted borders and further sections of garden offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion.

The grounds continue to an outside kitchen garden area, complete with greenhouse, alongside a detached summerhouse currently utilised as a home gym.

A detached stone-built double garage provides secure parking and storage, with additional off-road parking available on the gravelled driveway, which could be further enhanced subject to the necessary consents.

The property enjoys a rural yet accessible setting, situated within walking distance of Cowling village, which offers a range of everyday amenities including a primary school, public house and local shop. The location is well placed for access to Skipton, Keighley and Colne, with the Yorkshire Dales National Park within easy driving distance. For those commuting, the property is conveniently positioned for travel to Leeds, Bradford and Manchester via the wider road and rail network.

The property is fully serviced by gas central heating, double glazing and mains connected utilities.

According to Ofcom, the property is served by both standard and ultrafast broadband, with speeds of up to 1800Mbps download and 220Mbps upload available (subject to provider and subscription).
