This 400 year-old former farmhouse, which now provides five bedroom living accommodation, must be viewed to be fully appreciated. The property is now actually a semi detached home and is a listed building enjoying a courtyard position, in the conservation area of Oulton. The present owners purchased this family property approximately 45 years ago and since then have carried out major improvement works but always with a view to retaining the original character and charm of a 17th century property.
At the far end of the courtyard, known as Bentley Square, named after Richard Bentley (a blue plaque at the entrance indicates that he originated here and was born in the original dwelling), is the entrance of the farmhouse. This leads into the main entrance hall which enjoys open timber balustrades to the stairs. On the right is the first reception room which is a large lounge which featuring a brick fireplace and open oak beams to the ceiling.
To the left of the entrance hall is the second reception room, which has been used for many years as an office and study.
Continuing down the the entrance hall you come to the breakfast room which also features an original brick fireplace with a multifuel stove and exposed oak beams. From here is an access door to the rear garden. Directly off the breakfast room there is a kitchen with a range of units, leading to a utility room and a particularly large low level pantry room. Off the utility room is a further entrance hall with a WC and provides access to Bentley Square.
Finally on the ground floor there is a particularly large workshop which we understand was a former blacksmiths workshop and would now be open to a variety uses.
Proceeding to the top of the stairs there is an exceptionally large sitting room with polish wood flooring and open oak beam ceiling and windows overlooking Bentley Square. From the sitting room there is a long landing which provides access to 5 bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate WC. There is an ensuite shower room directly off the master bedroom.
Outside there is a small buffer garden to the front overlooking Bentley Square.
At the rear there is a much larger than average garden area having lawns, mature fruit trees, flower and shrub borders and stone boundary walls. This garden leads to an outhouse and a renovated former barn which is now open to huge variety of uses. It includes a downstairs WC with an office, shower room and kitchen off the mezzanine floor. The barn enjoys double doors to both sides therefore gaining direct access as required.
To the side of the barn there are 2 large ornamental ponds, a gravel driveway and courtyard providing ample parking space and access to 4 garages/workshops located in a single block. The gravel driveway provides vehicular access along Chapel Yard leading out onto Calverley Road.
