Higher Whitehill Farm, Slippery Ford, BD22

Set in an elevated position commanding breathtaking, uninterrupted far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, Higher Whitehill Farm is an exceptional semi-rural Yorkshire Longhouse occupying approximately four acres of land. Available with no onward chain, this impressive residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of outstanding character, versatility and lifestyle appeal.

Approached via a private driveway, shared with just two neighbouring properties yet remaining within the ownership of Higher Whitehill Farm, the property enjoys an enviable sense of privacy and seclusion.

The property has been carefully maintained by the current owners and retains a wealth of original character throughout, complemented by tasteful modern enhancements.

The accommodation can be entered via an attractive stone-built porch leading into the formal dining room or directly into the kitchen, providing a practical layout for both everyday living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully crafted bespoke handmade kitchen, finished with granite work surfaces, and Rangemaster, creating an inviting focal point. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the garden room, where a wood-burning stove, vaulted Velux roof windows and a striking picture window frame the spectacular far-reaching views whilst flooding the space with natural light. The majority of the ground floor also benefits from underfloor heating.

Adjoining the garden room is a versatile snug, equally suited as a home office, reading room or creative workspace, once again enjoying the outstanding rear aspect. This leads through to a further private sitting room, creating an excellent secondary reception space.

This wing of the property also incorporates a contemporary three-piece bathroom and a substantial reception room, currently utilised as a games room. Offering exceptional flexibility, this section could readily serve as a fourth double bedroom with an adjoining sitting room and bathroom, creating an ideal guest suite, independent accommodation for a teenager or an excellent multigenerational living arrangement.

The formal dining room forms the centrepiece of the original home, featuring a striking Yorkshire stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove. From here, stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where three generous double bedrooms all enjoy delightful open views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. The impressive principal suite benefits from a vaulted ceiling, a stylish en-suite shower room and ample space for freestanding furniture. A contemporary three-piece house bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Adjoining the house is an extensive double garage, currently arranged as a home gym and utility area, whilst also incorporating a WC, wash basin and electric shower. The space provides excellent storage and offers further versatility for a variety of ancillary uses.

The grounds extend to approximately four acres, surrounding the property to the front, side and rear. Landscaped formal gardens are complemented by several seating terraces, including a covered outdoor barbecue and entertaining area, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the exceptional surroundings. Beyond the gardens are a paddock to the front and a substantial hillside field to the rear, making the property particularly attractive for those seeking a smallholding or buyers with equestrian or livestock interests.

Positioned on the hillside to the rear is a substantial 590 sq ft timber workshop with light and power, water and internet connection. Occupying an elevated position within the grounds, it offers a highly versatile space suitable for a variety of ancillary uses, including a workshop, studio, home office or hobbies room.

Combining generous accommodation, a highly versatile layout, extensive grounds and an exceptional rural setting, Higher Whitehill Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding lifestyle property.

The property further benefits from fibre-to-the-premises broadband, mains electricity, a dual water supply comprising both mains water and a natural spring, septic tank drainage and a new air source heat pump, which will be installed prior to completion.

Higher Whitehill Farm is situated off Whitehill Road in the rural hamlet of Slippery Ford, enjoying an elevated position surrounded by open countryside on the fringe of Craven. Cross Hills and Sutton-in-Craven are approximately three miles away, offering a range of day-to-day amenities including well-regarded schools, independent shops, public houses and cafés, whilst the larger towns of Skipton and Keighley provide supermarkets, secondary schools and rail services to Leeds, Bradford and Skipton, offering excellent connectivity throughout the region.
