Asked to sum up Warren Lane House in a word, you wouldn't go far wrong if you choose unique.

An impressive detached stone-built period property, it encompasses some 5,091sq.ft of flexible accommodation extensively restored and refurbished over the years to create a wonderful family home that offers the tradition of a country property with the informality of modern family life and the trappings that go with it.

The property's traditional décor is enhanced by a wealth of original character details including exposed timber beams, flagstone and wooden flooring, elegant cornicing and ornate carved wooden panelling.

This is never more obvious than in the stunning 26ft reception hall with its vaulted ceiling and galleried landing which provides a fitting welcome to the property.

Currently used as a formal dining room it provides access to the well-proportion country-style kitchen and breakfast room which is home to a royal blue oil-fired AGA as well as an original Omega oven, has two sets of mullioned widows with window seating areas, ceiling beams, flagstone floors and ample space for a table for informal family dining.

Adjoining this room are a utility room and pantry which provide further space for appliances and storage.

The main reception room is a generous sitting room filled with natural light thanks to dual aspect windows. A focal point of this room is its majestic open fireplace.

Also on the ground floor is a cosy snug in which to relax and unwind, a comfortable family room with feature wood panelling wall and open fireplace, a cloakroom and an office.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to the five well-presented double bedrooms, including the spacious master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and large contemporary en-suite bathroom, which has a freestanding bathtub and separate walk-in shower.

The family bathroom is similarly fitted with a roll-top bathtub and a large walk-in, wet room shower unit.

Warren Lane House is accessed via a long private gravel driveway which leads to a parking area at the front of the house then on to the detached triple garage, workshop and storage space.

The property sits in extensive gardens to the front and rear which include well-maintained lawns interspersed with mature trees and established shrubs as well as meadows, a large open grassland paddock providing potential for livestock or horses if desired and an orchard of apple and pear trees.

There is also a south-facing York stone patio area at the front of the house which is ideal for al fresco dining.

In all the property has approximately five acres of gardens and grounds.

Warren Lane House is situated in the small village of Galphay, around seven miles from Ripon and on edge of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is on the market at a guide price of £1.595m.
