Main Description
Shhhh ! Don’t tell anyone. Harrison Robinson is delighted to offer this beautiful, quintessential cottage in the village of Bradley and you will want to be amongst the first to view! Bradley is an hidden gem of a village and lies just 1½ miles south of the bustling, market town of Skipton on the eastern banks of the Aire Valley. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal runs through the village and dates back to 1775, with pretty towpath walks to Skipton or Farnhill and beyond. There are also beautiful moorlands skirting the village with heather walks across to Farnhill Moor. Within the thriving village community there is the well-respected "Bradleys Both Community Primary School", deriving its name from the village being divided into two parts - Low Bradley and High Bradley. Further amenities include a village store, a public house and a village hall, which is the hub for many activities. If you fancy a bit of sport, Bradley has its own cricket pitch and fields a team in the local league.The charming property stands within a crescent of similar cottage properties, sensitively restored to a high standard and brought up to date by a local craftsman-builder. Behind the Crescent is Old Hall. A perfectly stunning 17th Century Manor House. Naturally you would think that you are in the heart of ‘High Bradley – Not so – this delightful home is in Low Bradley’. One enters this delightful cottage home through a tiled entrance porch, just the spot to kick off muddy shoes and boots after a long walk, into the sitting room packed with original features and a log burning stove stands within the original fireplace. The dining kitchen features a bespoke, contemporary, painted, fitted kitchen and Yorkshire Stone flagged flooring with underfloor heating. An addition to the property is a spacious dining room or second reception room with windows and Velux roof lights to the rear elevation. A rear hall with stable door gives access to the rear elevation. A luxury, modern shower room completes the downstairs picture. Stairs from the sitting room give access to a modern, family bathroom and three double bedrooms, the master having a spacious, walk in dressing area. To the front of the property is a charming, flagged and cobbled pathway leading from a wooden gate flanked by well-tended lawns. The property benefits from a further patio area. To the rear is a pathway with a right of way over and the opportunity for parking.
This property is situated in the heart of Herriot Country, and is truly the ‘gateway to the dales’, it would make a great holiday home or an ideal ‘lock up and leave’ home and furthermore is only a short distance from Ilkley and its train links to Leeds and beyond and of course Leeds/Bradford Airport.

Outside

Garden
Out of doors. .Views to die for
And a garden . . Without the graft.
Whether you are a keen gardener or an armchair dreamer, the classic looks of the well-manicured lawn, the mature beds of flowering shrubs and the hedges scrambling over the ancient garden walls will surprise you . . in the nicest possible way. In summer College Crescent is ablaze with flower-filled hanging baskets, whilst honeysuckle, rambling roses and wisteria clamber towards the sky. In winter the garden takes on a n air of formality as the miniature box shrubs claim the attention.
From the double gates to the front door of Holly Cottage, there is a wide curved pathway, craftsman laid with Yorkshire flag stones and decorative pebbles.
Naturally the front garden is a shared space (any other arrangement could spoil the harmony of the present garden. And . . Here comes the bonus . ., there is no management charge, no rota. When the grass could do with a trim, out comes a lawnmower. It’s as simple as that. Gardening at College Crescent is a low maintenance affair with a low key unwritten agreement which has worked with scarcely a murmur for the past 20 years. Why rock the boat
Your own space
The south facing patio does belong solely to the lucky folk who live at Holly Cottage. It’s a real suntrap with enough space for a barbecue and a table for six.
Location . location .
All this against a backcloth of green rolling hills where’ sheep safely graze’. With the Yorkshire Dales on your doorstep Bradley is the perfect place to bring up a family. There is a well-stocked village shop, a well-used village hall, a film club, a traditional country pub and a first-rate primary school all just five minutes walk from College Crescent.
Getting around. You may think a car is essential? Not necessarily. There is a regular efficient service from Cononley railway station no more than 10 minutes away. No queues, no crowds, no need to book a seat. And yet in little more than half an hour you could be stepping on to the London train at Leeds. Brilliant!

Parking
In theory there is a right of way along the brick tiled pathway at the back of Holly Cottage. In practice it is unused. Over the years it has become a haven for climbing plants and the occasional birds’ nest. Tucked away from the village roads there are several places to park. At the back of the house Holly Cottage residents have the right to park one modestly sized car. In addition the present owners rent a large stone built garage and forecourt situated at the end of this short row of cottages.
