The hallway leads to the main living areas, where the lounge takes centre stage. A large bay window perfectly frames the elevated, far-reaching views towards the river and the wharfe valley beyond, creating an impressive focal point. Patio doors open directly into the conservatory, an inviting space to relax and enjoy views over the garden throughout the seasons. A separate dining room provides an ideal setting for more formal entertaining, again overlooking the rear garden. The property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and a tranquil outlook across the mature garden, while the second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a seperate shower, WC, wash basin, and a window to the laneside. Completing the accommodation is the house bathroom, featuring a panelled bath with shower over with a glass shower screen, WC, wash basin, and a large airing cupboard providing valuable additional storage.
