Plot 7, The Hartford, Birchley Fold, Silsden

The Hartford, Plot 7
The only Hartford built at Birchley Fold, in a development of seven detached homes on the rise between Kildwick and Silsden.

The Hartford is one we come back to. We have built it many times and it has been a show home for us, so we know how it lives as well as how it looks on a plan.

All seven are built in Yorkshire tumbled natural stone, with the same detail that goes into every development we build. The result is timeless: a home that will look as right in twenty years as it does today.

Ground floor
The back of the house is one open plan space: the kitchen, the dining table and the family area beyond it, with French doors from the dining end onto the garden.

The lounge is at the front with a door off the hall. With the living space at the back, it is the room that becomes whatever you need: somewhere quiet, a study, or somewhere the children can leave things out.

The laundry opens off the kitchen and has its own sink, so the washing has a room to itself. There is a WC off the hall, a store under the stairs, and the garage stands on its own drive to the side.

First floor
Four bedrooms around the landing, all four with room for a king size bed. The main bedroom has its own en-suite, which makes it the one part of the house that stays yours.

The family bathroom has the bath and the en-suite has the shower, a separate enclosure rather than a shower over the bath, both with Hansgrohe fittings, concealed cisterns and half-height tiling you choose yourself. A store opens off the landing.

The specification
Kitchen units have oak effect interiors and soft close doors and drawers, with a quartz worktop and splashback, an undermount stainless steel sink, a brushed nickel tap and under cabinet LED lighting. The appliances are Electrolux throughout: two single ovens, a 75 cm gas hob, a 90 cm chimney hood, an integrated 70/30 fridge freezer and a full size dishwasher.
The laundry is a separate room with its own sink and tap, units and a worktop, and space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Internal doors are oak. Bathrooms have Hansgrohe taps and showers, concealed cisterns, and tiling chosen from the Interiors Collection.

Heating is gas, on an Ideal Logic combi boiler with Honeywell controls. Every home has solar panels, an Ohme 7.4 kW EV charging point and Openreach full fibre.

Outside, the walling is Yorkshire tumbled light weathered natural stone with grey concrete roof tiles, Clotted Cream windows, a Pebble Grey composite front door with a black lantern beside it, and a black electric sectional garage door. The rear garden is topsoiled and turfed, and paths and patio are Raj green Indian stone. There is an outside tap and an outside socket.

Speak to Karen for the details of the full specification.

The Interiors Collection
This is where the home starts becoming yours. You choose the kitchen, the door style, the colour, the worktop, and the handles down to their shape and finish, and the tiling in your bathroom and en-suite. It is a soft neutral palette throughout, and there is more to it than most people expect when they walk in.

If you want to go further, the Little Extras Collection is where to do it. Flooring lives there too: it is not part of the standard specification, so you can add it from the Little Extras Collection at additional cost, or arrange it yourself. Karen can talk through the range and the costs.

The location
Birchley Fold is on Skipton Road, Silsden, BD20 9AA, on the rise between Kildwick and Silsden.

Steeton and Silsden station is on the Airedale Line.
