Set on the highly sought-after Cleasby Road in the heart of Menston village, this deceptively spacious detached home brings together modern family living, countryside scenery and remarkable energy efficiency. Built to a bespoke design in 2015 and proudly holding an impressive ‘A’ rated Energy Performance Certificate, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across Porritt’s Field — a picturesque backdrop to everyday life, all while being only moments from the village’s shops, amenities and train station.
A standout feature of this home is the unbroken outlook over Porritt’s Field — a protected green space that cannot be developed. This ensures the open, far-reaching views and tranquil atmosphere remain forever preserved, offering rare peace of mind and a sense of privacy seldom found in such a central village setting.
Tucked back from the road for added seclusion, the property begins with a neat gravel driveway providing generous parking and a detached garage store. The internal layout unfolds across multiple levels, delivering over 2,100 sq ft of versatile accommodation — ideal for growing families or those seeking flexible living. From the moment you step inside, a bright, stylish interior sets the tone, blending contemporary design with a welcoming homely feel.
At the heart of the home is the beautifully appointed dining kitchen. Sleek cabinetry, quality appliances and a central island create a perfect space for both daily family life and entertaining. Bathed in natural light from bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden, it forms a seamless connection to the outdoors. The open-plan layout means you can prepare meals while still keeping an eye on children in the garden or chatting with family in the living room. A generous utility sits just off the kitchen, offering everyday convenience and direct garden access.
The sitting room provides a calm, elegant space to unwind, centred around a cosy wood-burning stove and framed by large bi-folding doors showcasing those stunning field views — ideal for quiet evenings or hosting guests. The lower ground floor reveals the property’s unexpected and hugely desirable additional living level. Currently arranged as a fully equipped gym and a fabulous family / entertaining room complete with stylish bar area, this floor evokes a ski-chalet ambience and offers endless versatility — perfect as a cinema room, games lounge or even a private work-from-home suite. It’s also a brilliant social space well suited to festive gatherings, dinner parties and children’s birthdays.
Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms are arranged across two floors. The principal bedroom enjoys lovely views over Porritt’s Field and benefits from a smart en-suite with contemporary fittings. The remaining bedrooms are all well proportioned, bright and adaptable — ideal for children, guests or home working — and served by a sleek modern house bathroom. The top floor adds additional flexibility, providing a double bedroom with Velux windows to the front and rear and excellent eaves storage.
Outside, the gardens have been designed for year-round practicality and ease of maintenance, with stone patios and artificial lawns to both the front and rear. Whether enjoying morning coffee, hosting summer barbecues or simply soaking in the open outlook, the outdoor areas are both sociable and serene. An electric vehicle charging point further reinforces the home’s commitment to sustainability and future-proofed living.
The location is as desirable as the property itself. Menston railway station is a short walk away, offering direct trains to Leeds in around 18 minutes and Bradford in approximately 22 minutes. Leeds Bradford Airport is less than 15 minutes by car, and the A65 provides excellent access to Ilkley, Otley and beyond. Families will value the short walk to Menston Primary School via safe village routes, and the home falls within catchment for the renowned Ilkley Grammar School, around 10 minutes by car or a brief bus ride. Everyday essentials — including a Co-op, cafés, pubs, post office, pharmacy and gp surgery — are all just a stroll away.
For lovers of the outdoors, the home’s Wharfedale setting offers endless opportunities — from riverside walks along the Wharfe to more adventurous routes over Ilkley Moor and Otley Chevin, the surrounding landscape inspires in every season.
Opportunities to combine such high energy efficiency, flexible living space, central village lifestyle and breathtaking scenery are exceptionally rare. We warmly encourage you to arrange a viewing and experience first-hand everything this remarkable home has to offer.
“We’ve loved raising our children here — it’s been an amazing social house for us too. The location is brilliant, the space is incredibly versatile, and that view over the field is something really special. It’s calm, relaxing and it feels like it belongs to us — it makes the house feel even bigger. After 10 years we’re ready for a renovation project, but we’ll be sad to leave and hope the next family loves it just as much.”
