The sale of Low Mill Hall offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in a peaceful riverside setting with a separate detached cottage ideal for providing ancillary accommodation or for use as an Airbnb together with the former mill house and detached barn both offering potential for conversion to additional accommodation/home office space if required. The tranquil setting along the banks of the river is simply delightful and owning its own mature woodland provides a secluded and sheltered semi rural location yet so convenient for access to local amenities and Yorkshire commercial centres.

The property is situated on the western fringe of the village which itself is conveniently located between the market town of Knaresborough and spa town of Harrogate both of which offer extensive facilities. Scotton village has a public house, the renowned Guy Fawkes Arms, Church, Lingerfield Primary School, nursery, cricket and football clubs and a village hall.

Scotton is within 7 miles of the A1(M) for those wishing to travel further afield and railway stations in Knaresborough and Harrogate connect directly to Leeds and York with intercity services to London's Kings Cross within 2½ hours. For the outdoor enthusiast, the Pennine Way runs through Lothersdale Village and the wonderful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Lancashire Forest of Bowland are but a few miles away.

The accommodation is approached through an entrance porch into the reception hall, off which is a guest cloakroom and large utility. The well proportioned sitting room features a brick fireplace with wood burning stove and two sets of French doors opening into the garden.

There is a good size study/home office and the ground floor is completed with a 36ft open plan family living/dining kitchen shaker style fitted units in light grey, central island with breakfast bar, oil fired AGA, tiled and wood flooring, wood burning stove and French doors opening into the garden.

At first floor level is a galleried landing, a principal bedroom with large luxury en suite bathroom, second guest bedroom with en suite shower room, three additional double bedrooms and a house bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower.

The separate cottage provides the perfect opportunity to form self contained accommodation for a dependent relative or as an Air B&B.

Outside, the property is initially approached down a private lane leading from Ripley Road though private electric entrance gates and up into a central courtyard providing ample parking for several cars. This provides access into a three car garage beyond which is the original mill house and a detached barn, both of which could be developed subject to obtaining the necessary planning approval. The formal gardens lie principally to the north and south of the house with lawns, meadows and patio areas ideal for outside entertaining.

Beyond is the private ancient woodland which boast a mass of native bluebells throughout the spring, with the whole bounded by the River Nidd, creating the most idyllic setting.
