The Kitchen Garden

Location

The property is situated in the heart of the popular village of Steeton with amenities which include two parks, a football and cricket pitch, a local Co-op food store, three pubs and a primary school. The village is also close to Airedale General Hospital and has a train station with regular direct services to Skipton, Bradford and Leeds. There is good secondary schooling at South Craven School in nearby Cross Hills and highly regarded grammar schools in the market town of Skipton. The vibrant town of Keighley is about 2.5 miles to the south east providing all the amenities and services one would expect from a town of this size.



Description

Located at the end of St Stephen's Road and with a charming final approach through private grounds, is this fabulous Grade II Listed walled kitchen garden, to the neighbouring High Hall.



This deceptively spacious walled plot extending to approximately 1,730m² (0.42 acres) provides a wonderfully private, sheltered setting with the historic brick lined walls of the kitchen garden providing the perfect juxtapose to the proposed new build of the approved contemporary dwelling.



Planning

A sympathetic yet imaginatively designed scheme for the construction of a stylish and contemporary detached, single storey, four bedroom dwelling, prepared by Carleton based architect, John Wharton, was granted full planning permission (Application No.: 18/02970/FUL dated 13 November 2018 2018) and Listed Building Consent (Application No.: 18/02972/LBC dated 13 November 2018).



Non material amendments to the above original scheme were approved under planning permission 18/02970/NMA01 dated 28 March 2022.



NOTE: The external appearance of the building in terms of scale, height, materials and openings will not deviate from those approved under the above planning permissions and Listed Building Consents.



Copies of the approved plans and decision notices are available for inspection at the agent's office. Electronic copies of the approved documents can be provided by email on request.



The approved scheme provides accommodation across the ground floor which briefly comprises the following;



Entrance hall, open plan kitchen/dining/living room, Inner hall, utility (with external access to covered parking space and separate store), shower room, bedroom 1 (en suite), bedroom 2 (en suite) and two further bedrooms.



Approximate total gross internal floor area (excluding store and covered parking area) 139.50m² (1,500ft²)



Outside

The approved scheme provides for covered parking for a single vehicle, additional parking and turning and generous formal gardens, all within the confines of the original walled kitchen garden.



The above Planning and Listed Building consents are now extant and secured in perpetuity following a number of significant works carried out by the current owners. These works include the construction of the drive and access, the provision of a mains water supply to within the plot and the provision of mains electricity, mains gas and mains drainage to a point within the drive at the entrance to the plot, ready for connection.
