Cragg Bottom Farm, Oldfield, Keighley, BD22

Occupying an elevated position overlooking Ponden Reservoir and the Worth Valley, this attractive stone-built four-bedroom farmhouse is set within approximately one acre of gardens, land and private woodland. Finished to an excellent standard throughout, the property offers a flexible arrangement of accommodation that would suit a variety of buyers, including those seeking home working space, holiday letting potential or land for recreational and smallholding use.

Set back from the roadside behind a stone wall and flagged patio, the property is accessed via a solid timber entrance door leading into a spacious bespoke dining kitchen. Fitted with a range of handmade units, integrated appliances, quartz work surfaces and travertine flooring, the kitchen provides ample space for family dining and forms the heart of the home.

The kitchen opens directly into an informal snug featuring solid wood flooring, an original stone fireplace with open fire and traditional stone mullion windows. An external door leads onto a private balcony enjoying uninterrupted views across Ponden Reservoir, the Worth Valley and the property's grounds. Beyond the snug is a separate formal lounge, again enjoying the far-reaching outlook and featuring a stone fireplace surround. A useful utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

The property is presented to an excellent standard throughout and has benefited from ongoing investment by the current owners, including replacement windows in 2024 and a boiler installation in 2023.

To the first floor, the landing provides access to four bedrooms. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms to the rear elevation enjoy outstanding elevated views across the valley, with a third double bedroom set to the front elevation, all of which benefit from fully fitted wardrobes providing useful storage. The fourth bedroom would equally suit use as a home office, nursery or hobby room. The accommodation is completed by a house bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate walk-in shower.

Externally, the property offers extensive private parking, including roadside parking for four vehicles, a gated driveway providing space for a further five cars and a substantial timber-framed double garage. Additional outbuildings include a large office/workshop, summer house, timber store, greenhouse and polytunnel.

The grounds extend to approximately one acre and comprise formal lawned gardens, patio seating areas and mature landscaped sections. Areas of land surrounding the property would likely appeal to those seeking a smallholding lifestyle, with space suitable for a variety of uses. Beyond the gardens is a private woodland area, further enhancing the setting and privacy of the property.
