Rare opportunity to buy exceptional country home

One of Wharfedale’s finest country properties, which has been in the same family ownership for the last twenty years, is being marketed for sale by leading estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley.

Lane End Farm is located at Denton near Ilkley and over the last two decades has been transformed from a derelict farmhouse into a luxury home. It now offers extensive living accommodation consisting of four principal reception rooms and five bedrooms as well as a leisure suite complete with pool, spa and a large bar and entertainment area. 

The property, which is surrounded by stunning countryside, sits in 12 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds complete with paddocks, waterfalls, streams, woodland walks and an ornamental lake with jetty and discreet lighting. In addition another 13 acres of grazing land is available by separate negotiation.

The current owner explains: “When we bought this property it was in a poor state but we loved the location and it offered endless potential. We started transforming it and apart from a few breaks we’ve continued to make improvements every year. As well as working on the main house we’ve also done lots of work outside and have planted thousands of trees that help to attract all types of wildlife including rare birds and wild deer.”  

Patrick McCutcheon, Head of Residential at Dacre, Son and Hartley, says: “Lane End Farm offers a unique opportunity to buy a magnificent family home. The main house originally dates from around 1740 and has been significantly extended over the years to create a home that is extremely spacious and finished to an exceptional standard whilst sympathetically retaining character features throughout.

“Denton is a very exclusive rural village but is still only a five minute drive from Ilkley Town Centre, just eight miles from Leeds Bradford International Airport and is within easy reach of several very good schools so it always proves popular with buyers.”

The South facing home is approached by a tree lined driveway and also offers garaging for four cars.  Lane End Farm is priced at £2,750,000 and further information is available by contacting Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Ilkley office on 01943 600655 or visiting www.dacres.co.uk
