Lovingly and carefully maintained by the current owners, the home retains an abundance of original period features creating a sense of timeless charm throughout.

Arranged over four floors, the accommodation is generously proportioned with a light filled east/west orientation and excellent views.

Outside, there is a delightful private garden, quiet and peaceful with established planting. It offers space for relaxation, entertaining and play. Fruit trees and bushes and a vegetable plot offer a degree of self-sufficiency. There is an integral single garage and ample off street parking.

On the outskirts of this thriving Yorkshire town with an active local community, the house is ideally located for local schools, shops and amenities along with excellent road and rail transport links, making it a superb choice for families looking to put their own stamp on this impressive period home.

Inglefield and the adjoining house were originally built for two generations of the same family. A tennis court used to the span the lower section of the two gardens. The house hasn’t changed hands much since 1910, we’ve been here since 2002 and have loved our time here.

Nestled on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, Bentham offers a rare blend of traditional rural charm and day to day practicality. This busy working market town is a popular choice for couples and families alike and is well known for its welcoming community with the advantage of independent shops (including a butcher, baker, grocer, florist and twice weekly visiting fresh fish van), a Post Office and primary school, health centre, pharmacy, small supermarkets (Co-op and Spar), a choice of places to enjoy a drink or bite to eat, library and recreational facilities, all set against the stunning backdrop of rolling countryside and the nearby River Wenning. The nearby towns of Ingleton, Kirkby Lonsdale and Settle all add to the range of shops and amenities locally available.

Countryside enthusiasts will enjoy immediate access to glorious walks, cycle routes and outdoor pursuits, with the Forest of Bowland, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District all within easy reach for day trips.

Despite its tranquil setting, Bentham is superbly connected. The town has its own railway station on the Leeds to Morecambe line, offering direct links to Lancaster, Skipton and Leeds (ideal for a day’s shopping, concert or theatre trip) and beyond. The M6 motorway is easy to reach and larger centres such as Lancaster, Skipton and Kendal are within convenient distance.

With its strong sense of community, local events calendar and breathtaking surroundings, Bentham is a location that truly delivers the very best of Yorkshire living.

Bentham has an active community as most homes are main residences. As keen fell walkers we’ve really appreciated the location of the house as it’s ideal for getting out onto the hills. Over the years we’ve been here the number of trains has increased and as we frequently visit family in London we can travel via Lancaster or Leeds.

Built in around 1910, Inglefield is a fine example of Edwardian architecture, one of the most sought-after period properties, celebrated for their elegance, character and practicality. Built with generous proportions, Inglefield offers offer a light and airy interior, high ceilings and tall windows creating a wonderful sense of space that continues to suit modern family life.
