General Remarks

Resphill House enjoys a beautiful location on the southern flanks of Beamsley Beacon, just a few hundred yards from the village centre. Many of the rooms command beautiful views over the property’s own gardens and unspolit Wharfedale beyond – and from the paddock there are delightful aspects towards the rural gem that is Bolton Abbey.

An ideal family home, the accommodation offers a good balance of space and privacy, with a pair of reception rooms complementing the lovely living kitchen which runs the full depth of the house and is sure to be the heart of the home. To the first floor there are four good bedrooms including a breathtaking principal suite with its own luxury bathroom off.

Externally, Resphill has lovely mature grounds – approached by a long sweeping, tree-lined tarmacadam driveway, which also provides access to the adjoining Resphill Cottage. There is expansive parking as well as a garage and home office. Beyond, the gardens provide sweeping lawns juxtaposed with delightful well stocked borders, shrubs, mature trees and peaceful wood.

The village of Beamsley is one of the area’s most sought after communities, set in the heart of unspoilt Wharfedale within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The village is ideally placed for the commuter with ready road access into Ilkley, Harrogate and Skipton with the M65 beyond. Nearby Bolton Abbey, which is within comfortable walking distance, is home to the renowned Devonshire Arms Hotel which includes The Brasserie and Burlington Restaurants. Rail services from nearby Ilkley provide frequent connections throughout the day into Leeds and Bradford, with Leeds and Harrogate also having numerous daily services to London Kings Cross. An international airport is just some 15 miles distant.

Both Ilkley and Skipton provide comprehensive retail and social amenities and whilst private schooling for all ages (including the Montessori school at Bolton Abbey), is within daily travelling distance, the village falls within the catchment area of both Ermysteds Grammar School and Skipton Girls High School, and has its own primary school – the Boyle and Petyt.

The sale of Resphill House offers a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a wonderful home within this highly desirable location with excellent commuter links.
