In a world of its own, life at Greylands is like being in a bubble, elevated, quiet and peaceful with a tremendous view that changes with the seasons, the days and the hours. The house offers so much in terms of a lifestyle it must be easy to spend days there without ever leaving the property. Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village of Warton and then wide swathes of countryside stretch out in front flanked by the hills of the Forest of Bowland, Farleton Knott and Ingleborough. At a distance as if in a model world, trains zip silently by, without a sound traffic journeys along the M6, the sheep and cattle graze in the fields and in the far, far distance the wind turbines on Claughton Moor rotate. Greylands sits in a generous plot of 0.75 acre, mature woodland lies to the rear to frame this unrivalled situation.But it's not just the position that sets it apart, the architecture and high standard of finish do so too. One of Warton's most prestigious contemporary homes, it is somewhat of a local landmark and undoubtedly stands out. Completed in 2010 Greylands offers accommodation that has been skillfully designed to bring together fabulous space, wonderful light and an excellent and sociable layout that would eminently suit family life but could also appeal to a couple that want to embrace the space, have a pair of home offices and entertain friends and family on a glorious scale.Boasting accommodation over three floors, the front door opens to a stupendous open plan light and airy living space with seating area, dining space and a well-equipped kitchen, all backed up with a large and very practical utility room. Bedrooms are split over the ground and first floors for maximum versatility. There is an impressive principal bedroom suite with shower room, dressing room and private covered balcony, a second double bedroom also has an ensuite shower room and private balcony. There are two further double bedrooms, an optional fifth/home study and a spacious house bathroom. The USP must surely be the luxuriously appointed home cinema/party room with a bespoke and beautifully appointed bar.A wrap around balcony extends into terraced landscaped gardens, designed to provide a choice of seating areas and beyond that there is a hot tub and more informal garden with a small orchard. There's a garage and exceptionally generous capacity for parking.As contemporary family homes go, Greylands ticks a lot of boxes on the most discerning of wish lists.Vendor InsightThe views are different every day, it's not something we take for granted. When friends visit for the first time they just say "wow", the view draws them forward, it can bemesmerizing.The light changes throughout the year and as the months move on, it's lovely seeing one season turn into the next, especially the freshness of spring with the welcome vibrancy of the new leaves and blossom, the warm colours of autumn, snowfall on a winter's day and the lights and energy of fireworks on bonfire night and New Year's Eve, it's pure magic, we will never be able to replace this view and will miss it tremendously but the children have nearly all left home and it's time to move on. We've enjoyed every minute of being here.LocationIn an enviable and elevated position, on a quiet road and on the outskirts of the village, Greylands commands breathtaking panoramic long-distance views in a private setting that isn't overlooked due to the positioning of the house on the plot, the design, orientation and the fact that the garden backs onto acres of Wildlife Trust managed woodlands.Warton itself has a vibrant village community; there are two good pubs, a microbrewery, primary school, gym, vehicle repair garage and two churches. The village hall plays host to a wide range of local groups and clubs and offers drama, painting and flower arranging amongst other things. This is an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a village setting and community life with excellent access to unspoilt open countryside and first rate road and rail communication links. Access onto the M6 at Junction 35 is only 2.5 miles distant and there is a train station in nearby Carnforth (2.1 miles away) on the Bentham and Furness branch line, which links to the main West Coast line at Lancaster.Your day to day needs will be well met in Carnforth with a choice of supermarkets (Booths, Tesco and Aldi), a busy high street of independent retailers and a range of health care providers.For those that love to get out and about, Warton is perfectly placed to visit the neighbouring National Parks and AONBs bringing outdoor adventure within easy reach; whether it's for a gentle ramble or more ambitious hike, for climbing or caving, running, cycling or sailing it's all accessible.Vendor InsightFinding a house that was within a small community but still had excellent commuter access was high on our priority list when we came to view Greylands. What we hadn't fully appreciated though was that not only is it great for work, but we can catch a train from Carnforth into Lancaster for a night out which has been great fun. There are also direct services to Manchester airport which is ideal for holidays as it saves on car parking or taxis.The location is great, but the setting is equally so. As the highest house we have great privacy and aren't overlooked but still have such a wonderful open aspect which gives us the light and the views.Step InsideSpread over three floors, Greylands centers around the ground floor where a show stopping open plan living space offers ample room for seating, dining and cooking enabling the whole family to be in one room, either together or individually engaged in their own activity. It's spacious, light, bright, the views are phenomenal, the specification is contemporary and high end. Wrap around picture glazing with French windows opening to a glass fronted balcony provide not only an ever changing, breathtaking window on the world, but also a fantastic inside/outside flow during the warmer weather.Fitted by well-regarded local contractors Mark Leigh Kitchens, the sleek Siematic kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances for a seamless look and has distinctive leather-look granite worktops.A breakfast bar offers informal dining or space to perch and chat with a drink whilst the meal is prepared. Under the stairs to the first floor an illuminated glass fronted wine cabinet has been created whichholds 130 bottles as well as space for additional cases. Flooring throughout the living area is Amtico, good looking and hard wearing in equal measure, this extends into the utility room, two ground floor double bedrooms and the office (or fifth bedroom), also on this floor. Completing the picture on this level is a house bathroom, generously proportioned to say the least, with a Teuco spa bath, TV and integrated speakers, it's easy to see that this would be the most relaxing way to catch up on a box set whilst you recline in the bubbles. One of the bedrooms and the office have been fitted with Sliderobes and all the rooms have opaque glass pocket doors to maintain the clean lines of the aesthetic.Oak steps lead down to the cinema room on the lower ground floor. Ramping up the lifestyle credentials of Greylands this amazing multi-functional entertainment space is the stuff of dreams for film or sports fans there is a 12-foot screen and the connected audio visual equipment to enable you to stream the latest blockbuster, Grand Prix or Premier League final. For ultimate comfort there are six big leather reclining chairs, these beauties are heated, have a massage function and the cupholders can keep drinks warm or cold. A bespoke oak bar and counter has been installed and includes illuminated glass shelving for bottles and professional refrigeration. Flooring has also been carefully considered; the area behind the bar is non-slip, there's carpet in the cinema seating area but the remainder is laid with a hard flooring making the perfect dance floor for parties. "We've used this a lot" the vendors tell us and we can certainly see why it's the most fabulous room. Got another use in ind? This whole floor could be adapted to a comprehensive home gym or hobbies space of any description.Onwards and upwards; oak treads and glass balustrades lead up to the first floor via a double height stairwell. From the gallery landing glass pocket doors slide open effortlessly to the two ensuite bedrooms. Exceptionally special, the principal bedroom suite has a real wow factor with amazing views over the rooftops of the village to the countryside and fells beyond from the first moment you wake; how unbelievably special it must be to lie here, cup of tea to hand and contemplate the day ahead. French windows open to a private covered balcony, if you are seeking a moment of 'me' time this is the place. There is a fitted dressing room and an ensuite shower room.With a double aspect, the second double bedroom has full width windows extending up to the roof's apex sited above a full run of Sliderobes,, French windows open to an east facing private balcony to capture the morning sun and an ensuite wet room. Amtico flooring runs through from the landing to the second bedroom with a plush carpet in the principal bedroom and dressing room.Great attention to detail that has been employed in the functionality of this unique home. The smart home integrated technology has been devised and installed by Majik House (Kirkby Lonsdale) to be both user friendly and efficient with remote access via a mobile app. A Lutron system controls the lighting, electric blinds, Velux windows and entrance gate, all easily operated through integrated switches, with a range of light settings suited to every mood and occasion from full on party vibe to relaxed chill. There is also an integrated zoned Sonos surround sound system and a powerful built in vacuum facility.Vendor InsightWe have a big family, love to entertain and host a lot of family functions; this house has proved perfect for that. Whether we are simply having another couple over for supper, a family Sunday lunch, the children's friends for a cinema party or an absolute houseful for a party or celebration, it lends itself perfectly. We added the wood burner to the sitting room and positioned it in the corner so we can see the fire and the view at the same time. As you drive up towards the house on a dark night you can see the flames through the glass.Living here we have found we can really relax, it helps us to balance our busy working and family lives. Sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine on a dark night is very special as is a family movie night or simply sitting on a weekend morning with a coffee and the papers on the balcony off the kitchen, there's a great stillness to being here which we love; it's the ultimate de-stresser.Step OutsideThe approach to the house offers an enormous sense of wellbeing as Coach Road climbs towards its brow, distinctive Greylands is clearly visible in the distance. The electric gates open as you turn into the grounds where you'll find a plentiful provision of parking as well as a garage.The 0.75 acre gardens largely sit to the front and sides of the house and offer a combination of formal and informal areas there's something to please every generation here. Above all they have been designed to be low on the maintenance front leaving more time for enjoyment.The flagged terrace that leads around the property features pockets of private seating areas with vibrant planting in raised planted constructed of substantial sleepers.Outside a former deck was removed, the supporting structure rebuilt and to cause minimal disruption to the view it was fronted with a glass balustrade with power and lighting to the whole area. It's a versatile space it's a level area for activities, seating (or possibly a barbecue hut) if required and could also be used for additional parking, whether for cars, camper vans or boats. At the far end of this terrace, there is a hot tub which has been an addition greatly enjoyed by the owners. A rocky outcrop rises behind it ensuring a private position that isn't overlooked but allows the open and panoramic views to be fully enjoyed. It really comes into its own in the colder months or after dark the lights of the village and valley stretching far ahead and on the 5th November this is the best place to watch all the bonfires and firework displays.Flagged steps lead down to the large lower lawn planted with daffodils in spring, there are apple and damson trees; it makes a wonderful playground for children with space for football, swings and trampolines.Facing south east Greylands enjoys an exceptionally sunny spot, from the moment the sun rises behind Ingleborough and shines straight onto the deck (an ideal breakfast spot), into the kitchen, moving round the house during the course of the day to finally alight on the terrace in the evening for a glass of something chilled as you watch the sun go down.Imaginative lighting design has the house skillfully illuminated and there are outside power points, taps and an EV charging point. Practicalities have also been considered in the landscaping design, there is a utility building (with laundry facilities which has proved a boon for drying wet kit), mower store, log store and tucked away drying area.Vendor InsightIf you like spotting wildlife, it's a great setting with the woods behind us. We frequently see owls, buzzards and deer. Our bird boxes on the bedroom balcony attract yellowhammers and blue tits and we've had an owl land on the balustrade. The outside lighting is all LED and can be themed we've had a bit of fun with this by changing the colours at Halloween, Christmas and for Royal events.Included in the saleBlinds (integrated electric), light fittings and integral Miele kitchen appliances (induction hob with pop up extractor fan, the three ovens Navitronic, steam and combi, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher) and Zip tap providing instant hot water and filtered chilled water.

SUPERB RING FENCED GRASSLAND FARM ON THE NORTHERNFRINGE OF THE FOREST OF BOWLAND AONB. DescriptionSituationWenningside is superbly situated between the market towns of Bentham and Settle, in the Craven District. The farm sits on the fringe of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by traditional livestock farms and undulating grassland interspersed with attractive woodlands, all set against the backdrop of Yorkshire Dales National Park and the peak of Ingleborough.The Farm has excellent transport connections, being only 1.5 miles from the east-west A65 trunk road between Skipton and the M6. Clapham railway station is only 0.5 miles to the north, mainline trains operate from both Lancaster and Leeds to London on the West Coast and East Coast routes. Leeds Bradford Airport is 41 miles to the east. Nearby Settle is a well serviced market town complete with a well-regarded private school at Giggleswick.DescriptionOffered for sale for the first time in three generations, Wenningside is a truly exceptional and productive livestock farm. Formerly a dairy unit, the holding is equipped with significant infrastructure, including covered silage clamps, portal framed loose housing, cubicles and associated slurry storage. South of the core farmstead and modern buildings, sits the period farmhouse with a southerly aspect, there are beautiful sheltered walled gardens and lawns. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a significant range of traditional farm buildings ripe for a diversification or conversion (subject to consents). The farmland extends to about 190 acres of ring fenced productive rolling grassland, interspersed with attractive trees and divided by sheltered belts, walls and hedgerows which have been well maintained. Recently managed relatively extensively, the land is perfectly positioned to either exploit the environmental credentials or push harder for production. A metalled track through the spine of the farm gives access to the majority of land parcels facilitating field operations and creating a natural lane for livestock movements. Two further ranges of traditional buildings away from the steading offer obvious potential for development into additional dwellings, holiday cottages or other alternative uses (subject to consents). The River Wenning bounds the farm along the entirety of its northern edge and provides a wonderful tree lined boundary.Wenningside FarmhouseWenningside Farmhouse sits adjacent to the farm drive and entrance, south facing with walled gardens, shrub borders and mature trees, it is a beautiful property in a wonderful setting. The traditional stone built farmhouse with slate roof has been extended over the years, internal accommodation now extends to over 2,600 sq ft, set over two floors. The ground floor includes; large kitchen with Rayburn range cooker, boot room and utility, lounge with open fire, pantry with stone shelves, sitting room with open fire, store room and external WC. The first floor includes five bedrooms and family bathroom. The property has many historic features, such as exposed beams, traditional fireplaces and flag floors, and whilst requires some updating, these features could be further enhanced in a renovation. The property has oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazed windows. Adjoining the farmhouse is a large traditional stone barn and lean to, part re-roof with fibre cement and the lean to element is still slate covered. The range has obvious potential for incorporation into the farmhouse to create additional living space, new dwellings or holiday cottages, subject to the necessary consents. Across the farmyard is a further range of stone built garages, workshop and stables, again with potential for alternative uses.Farm buildingsNorth of the residential area, is an extensive range of both modern and traditional farm buildings set around a concrete farmyard. These were originally focused on housing dairy cattle and provide a very useful covered area including significant silage clamps, livestock housing and storage. There are also two ranges of traditional field barns within the farmland, which offer potential for development:Directly west of the farmstead is small range, set around a traditional stone barn and lean to (9.5m x 10.2m), adjacent to which is a timber Dutch barn with corrugated steel roof (11m x 6.8m) and a brick built shippon with fibre cement roof (9.3m x 13m). This area also includes an enclosed yard and hardstanding. Off-lying yet still relatively close to the farm for services, this range of buildings could be redeveloped for alternative uses (subject to consents).High Barn (14.5m x 5.5m) is a standalone tradition barn with steel profile roof located to the west of the holding. There is also a Dutch Barn south of the farmstead, historically used for silage storage.LandThe farmland lies in a ring fence surrounding the farmstead, perfectly arranged for grazing livestock, with internal gates a central access track to the majority of land parcels, facilitating easy field operations and livestock movements.

The area affords every choice of country pursuits on your doorstep. LAWKLAND HALL (LOT 1) A magnificent Grade 1 manor house, Lawkland Hall is as rich in history as it is in its stunning Elizabethan architectural detail. It is hard not to be impressed by the many period features, including oak panelling, linen fold panelling in the dining room, exposed floor boards, decorative over mantles, architraves, staircase and studded doors. There are cross-leaded windows, some with seats, others with stained glass panes set in stone mullions, stone fireplaces including a bolection-moulded fireplace in the principal bedroom and study, flagged floors and a stone door arch. Over the front door is a decorative stone moulding with the Ingleby coat of arms. Above the fireplace in the dining room sits an inset engraved stone with the initials J N A and Amicus Certus beneath a coat of arms. Above the door into the dining room, set in the stone surround, is an inscription I A:M 1679 the initials of Arthur Ingleby and his wife. Worthy of particular note, bedroom 8, known as The Chapel has a concealed 'priest hole', retained as a feature with a glass floor. The tower housing the original spiral stone staircase had the gazebo added in 1758 with windows to each elevation providing far-reaching views. More recently, a 'Roman' or sunken bath was installed, believed to be a copy of one admired by Mrs Ambler in the Hotel Danieli in Venice.
