MORE TOP STORIES:

The detached, four-bedroom farmhouse dates back to 1850, with a later extension, and is located in a leafy and private spot on the outskirts of the Dales village.

The 1.24-acre plot is also home to a substantial link-detached barn, detached garage, ample parking, garden store and two static caravans.

Langber End Farm's current owners are passionate conservationists and have managed the delightful gardens organically since their purchase in 2003. Private, screened and ideal for a growing family, the gardens feature lawns, a stream, mature planted borders, trees and a well-stocked vegetable garden and fruit cages, for a taste of self-sufficiency.

The seating terrace leading from the kitchen is known as the ‘white garden’ because

every flowering plant is white. It makes for a lovely spot for breakfast as it gets the first sun, and its stone flags were reclaimed from the shippon.

A clematis and rose-covered arch leads into the formal garden where a crocus walk appears in early spring. On the northern boundary, hundreds of daffodils emerge and on the grass verge poppies have been planted to symbolise those who lost their

lives in World War One.

Inside, the well-presented and spacious rooms offer a wonderful setting for family life, or for a couple looking to entertain and perhaps work from home.

The glazed sun room entrance leads to an entrance hall with beamed ceiling.

A pleasant, dual-aspect sitting room features a stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, while the dining room/second sitting room also has the welcome feature of wood burning stove.

The light and spacious dining kitchen is a lovely venue for gatherings, with double doors opening onto the seating terrace and white garden, while an Aga enhances the traditional country feel.

Exposed stone walls are a feature of the study, and there is also a useful laundry room and cloakroom.

The bedrooms all have a lovely outlook over the gardens, and there is a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom.

Outside, an impressive range of outbuildings includes a large, detached garage with power and light that would make a great workshop; a double-height barn and shippon with potential for conversion subject to consent; an agricultural building with sheeted roof and polytunnel; garden/wood store and greenhouse; and two static caravans previously let out for holidays.

Within the boundaries of Langber End Farm is a private water treatment plant, and hot water is from either the Aga or the central heating system. Carpets and many light fittings are included in the sale.
