5 Bedroom Property for Sale in Kirdford

Crofts House was built in 1993 of part stone, part brick and part tile hung elevations under a clay tiled roof and is surrounded by its beautiful grounds of approximately 40 acres. The house is built on the site of the old Keepers Cottage which formed part of the former Barkfold Estate, and has been extended over the last twelve years to provide substantial family accommodation. The tasteful use of handmade tiles, oak, flagstones and reclaimed brick create a period feel whilst maintaining all the low maintenance benefits of a well-constructed modern house, including good insulation with all windows being either double or triple glazed. There is a centrally controlled stereo system with speakers in the drawing room, family room, upstairs bathroom and garden. Situated where it is down a long track, surrounded on all four sides by open farmland, river and woodland, and with no other house in sight, Crofts House is in a secluded yet not isolated position.
