Bent Lane, Sutton-In-Craven, BD20 7QP

Full Details

Strawberry Cottage is undoubtedly one of the nicest period homes to come to the market in recent times. Beautifully presented throughout, it combines the character expected from an older stone property with a substantial extension and a quality finish that works exceptionally well for modern life. Positioned in a sought after part of the village, there are also lovely views towards the surrounding countryside.

Accessed from the rear driveway, the property opens into an extended entrance hall where the original external stone wall has been retained as a striking feature. Alongside is a useful utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.

Off the hallway is the superb family and games room. With a high ceiling, Velux windows and enough space for a full size pool table, this is a fantastic addition to the house. It could just as easily work as a home office, playroom or occasional guest room, particularly as there is a stylish shower room alongside with a large walk in shower.

The bespoke kitchen is another highlight. Quality units provide plenty of storage, complemented by generous work surfaces and a large central island with seating and a wine cooler. The stone flagged floor with underfloor heating suits the age of the property perfectly, while steps lead down to a useful keeping cellar where the combination boiler is located.

The kitchen connects directly with the living room, where exposed stonework, a substantial fireplace and log burning stove give the room plenty of character. A glazed door open directly onto the south facing garden, bringing plenty of natural light into the room. A separate front porch provides useful space for coats and shoes.

Upstairs, the house bathroom is finished to a high standard with a bath, separate walk in shower, wash basin and WC. The main bedroom is a particularly generous double with plenty of room for additional furniture, lovely views and a walk in wardrobe. The second bedroom is another well proportioned room, currently arranged as a nursery.

Outside space is another real strength. The south facing front garden is mainly lawned, with established planting, a paved seating area and high fencing providing privacy. Beyond the garden are far reaching countryside views. At the rear, a recently tarmacked driveway provides off road parking alongside a detached single garage with light and power.

Strawberry Cottage is a rare combination of period character, excellent presentation, useful outside space and a layout that has clearly been improved with considerable thought.
