Hardwick House Farm, Hardwick House Barn & Woolcombers - These three Grade II Listed properties make up the Homestead of Hardwick. Nestled at the east end of Moorside Lane; a no through road on the lower inclines of Ilkley Moor, they enjoy stunning, far-reaching views across the beautiful Wharfe valley. Hardwick was originally settled in 1379 by a Mr Hardwick who moved into the Addingham area and made Hardwick his home. Encircled by its own 9.6 HA (23 acres) of rolling pasture and moorland, with open countryside as far as the eye can see, it is a perfect location for those seeking peace and tranquillity. Hardwick House Homestead's location gives easy access to the local towns of Ilkley and Skipton with the choice of two railway stations within 20 mins drive, for access to the larger cities of Leeds, Bradford and Manchester.All three properties have been skilfully renovated by the present owner taking care to create well designed, warm, welcoming interiors, enhancing the individual character of each property. Using modern technology to make them as eco-efficient as possible including air source heat pumps to generate the hot water and central heating in both the Farm and Barn, with underfloor heating throughout both. The Woolcombers, with its compact imaginative interior has LPG instant hot water and a multi fuel stove for heat.The three properties are situated around an attractive courtyard, giving ample parking in front of a four bay, oak framed carport and garage. In addition, there is further parking to the west of the farmhouse for larger vehicles or multiple visitors. Something not always found in such a rural location.HARDWICK HOUSE FARM InternalUsed by the present owner as the main residence, the Grade II Listed farmhouse has a traditional Georgian-style facade. Solid oak doors and factory painted, double glazed, sliding sash, hardwood windows give an impressive finish to the exterior.To the ground floor; through the central exterior door, is the well proportioned sitting room with an exposed inglenook fireplace with multi fuel stove.

One feature wall is clad in green corrugated tin, which was salvaged from the original barn exterior and has been repurposed creating a very imaginative and rustic style. Again, the exposed beams add charm and character to the room. The dining room is open plan with the living kitchen, giving it a feeling of space.Double aspect bifold doors and French windows reveal intimate views over the dining terrace and garden with panoramic views across the valley beyond.
