All this, and Riversmead is still within walking distance of a great choice of village amenities, that range from a pub, and a village shop, to a primary school and sports facilities. It is also just 15 to 20 minutes by car to Harrogate and all that it has to offer.

Inside, its accommodation is versatile, with a reception hallway, a well-equipped and spacious fitted kitchen with an integrated double oven and electric hob, and a large, open plan living area with a feature fireplace, stunning views, and glazed doors that lead outdoors.

There's an office or snug on the lower ground floor, and a useful utility room, with four to five bedrooms, some with fitted wardrobes, and three bathrooms. There is further storage space available in the loft.

Within the large and very impressive garden are several seating areas and extensive lawns bordered with planted beds, and a range of established, colourful trees and shrubs.

An 'in and out' front driveway with parking space leads to an integral double garage.

There are lovely scenic river and countryside walks around Birstwith, within the Nidderdale area of outstanding local beauty.

One of these is a circular walk that starts in Birstwith, then takes in part of the Nidderdale Way and visits both neighbouring villages of Hampsthwaite and Clint.

The bungalow's lawned and landscaped gardens are meticulously maintained. (Photo: Verity Frearson estate agents, Harrogate)
