Location
Thornton In Craven is a highly regarded village positioned on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, offering a wonderful balance of rural surroundings and everyday convenience. Surrounded by open countryside, the village is well placed for scenic walks and outdoor pursuits, whilst also benefiting from a popular primary school, village pub and strong sense of community. Nearby Skipton provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and rail links, with the A56 and M65 also within comfortable reach for commuters travelling towards Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and East Lancashire. It is easy to see why homes in this setting are so sought after.

Ground Floor
Entering through the front door, the welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone with a bright, open feel and access to the principal accommodation, the attached annexe and further internal space below. Positioned to the rear, the sitting room is a lovely place to unwind, enjoying a private outlook across the gardens and beyond towards open countryside. A wood burning stove creates a warm focal point, whilst the proportions of the room make it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Bedroom one is an impressive principal suite, generous in size and enjoying a triple aspect which fills the room with natural light. There is ample space for fitted or freestanding furniture, together with a well-appointed en-suite featuring both bath and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms are found on this level, one currently arranged as a home office and both offering flexible space for family life or guests. Bedroom three benefits from dual aspect windows, giving it a wonderfully bright feel throughout the day. Also on this floor is a highly practical utility room, fitted with storage units and complemented by a brilliant pet shower, ideal for muddy paws after countryside walks, along with a frosted rear window. Attached to the main house, yet equally suited to independent living, the annexe has been thoughtfully created and finished to a modern standard throughout. It can be accessed internally or via its own private front door. Inside, there is a contemporary open-plan living space with French doors opening onto a sunny seating area, a generous double bedroom and a smart shower room. Ideal for dependent relatives, guests, older children or even as an income opportunity, subject to any necessary consents.

Lower Ground Floor
To the lower ground floor, the home continues to impress. A further double bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook across the gardens, whilst the house bathroom has been stylishly updated with a sleek modern suite. Without doubt, the heart of the home is the stunning dining kitchen. Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, this superb open space includes a range of fitted units, excellent preparation areas and room for a large dining table. A feature dropped ceiling houses the integrated extractor above the induction hob, adding a contemporary finish. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless link between inside and out.

Outside & Parking
Externally, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting, with mature landscaped gardens wrapping around the home. Lawned areas, stocked borders, patios at different levels and tucked-away seating spaces provide somewhere to enjoy the sun at any time of day. The lower garden is particularly special, offering a peaceful retreat with views stretching out across open countryside. Ample off-street parking is available to the front.

Owner's Insight
'We love living here, it's such a friendly village which holds pub nights/crafting and a youth club at the village hall. Real privacy, peace and quite and open aspect to the countryside-how can you tire of a view across fields and to the hills and the Pennine Way literally on our doorstep. So much wildlife from deer and hawks in the spring, and horses grazing in the next field. If you enjoy walking then it's all on our doorstep, the Leeds-Liverpool canal, walk-able over the fields from our house or off onto the moors at the end of the village plus only a 30 minute walk along the disused railway to The Tempest pub at Elslack or Red Lion at Earby. The garden wraps around the house and is pretty much South facing which we make the most of it since our kitchen opens up into the garden. We've had many great barbecues and parties in the sun, with the added bonus of the annexe you can accommodate visiting friends and family. There's a well respected village Primary School and you're only a 5 minute drive from Barnoldswick and Earby, 10 minutes from Skipton for schools and shopping and train to Leeds or 15 minutes from Colne and the M65. A pretty special idyllic place.'
