The town centre is within a short walk and offers a wide variety of shops and restaurants together with excellent transport connections to the business centres of Leeds, Bradford and York. Mainline rail stations in Leeds and York provide Intercity services to London’s Kings Cross, access to the A1(M) is within 10 miles and Leeds/Bradford Airport is within a 20 minute drive.

Swan House is a beautiful Grade II listed detached
property, originally constructed in 1815 as a Lodging House for Jonathan Shult, the then proprietor of the adjacent Swan Inn, and used as a residence for him and also for lodging very important guests. The current owners have completely restored and renovated the property, creating an exceptional family house whilst skilfully retaining some lovely features reminiscent of the Georgian era. The room proportions and ceiling heights are superb,
all flooded with natural light by virtue of the beautiful shuttered sash windows throughout.

The spacious yet comfortably proportioned accommodation is arranged over 3 floors and features a central reception hall with a stunning staircase and marble floor, drawing room, sitting room, study, dining room and a fully fitted breakfast kitchen with a utility room, cloakroom and hall to the rear. On the first floor is a lovely landing, an impressive principal bedroom with a dressing room with built in wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom, guest bedroom with an en suite shower room together with a third double bedroom which has an en suite bathroom. Extensive additional living space is available on the second floor with a further three double bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities, together with a family room and a galley kitchen. The second floor is perfect for use as guest accommodation, as a teenager’s suite or alternatively as a large home office facility.

Outside, the property is approached via electrically operated entrance gates which lead into a large block paved driveway which provides ample parking. A detached double garage with a roller shutter door provides further parking. The beautiful gardens lie to three sides of the property, featuring sweeping lawns and a magnificent copper beech tree together with well established hedging to the boundaries.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
 
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.
 
Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

  • Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
  • Lower interest rates in some cases
  • Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When it comes to making an offer on a property a bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
