The Iris, Plot 4 Birchley Fold, Silsden, BD20 9FU

The Iris, Plot 4 One of only two Iris homes built at Birchley Fold, a development of seven detached homes on the rise between Kildwick and Silsden.

The Iris is a house we have built before and have gone on improving.

It began as the Wood at The Alders in Skipton, and this is that home refined by what we learned building it: the only house type here that gives you four king-size bedrooms and a study as well.

All homes 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 kitchen and dining run across the back of the house as one open space, with French doors from the dining end onto the garden.

Whoever is cooking is still in the conversation, and the table is where people end up sitting long after the plates have gone.

There is a breakfast bar as well, for a quick coffee or breakfast on the run.

The laundry has its own sink, with the washing machine and the dryer either side of it, and a door straight out to the garden, so boots and coats stop there rather than coming through the house.

The WC sits behind a door within it. There is a store under the stairs, and the garage opens into the hall.

The lounge is at the front, and it takes whatever you put in it: two sofas and an occasional chair, or one big L-shaped one. It is the room to shut the door on when the rest of the house is busy.

First floor Four bedrooms around a central landing, and all four take a king size bed, so there are no arguments about who gets which room.

The main bedroom has its own en-suite, which makes it the one part of the house that stays yours. The study is a room in its own right, with a window of its own.

Work can be shut away at the end of the day rather than left out on the kitchen table.

The family bathroom has the bath and the en-suite has the shower, both with Hansgrohe fittings, concealed cisterns and half-height tiling you choose yourself.

There is a store off the landing, and another inside bedroom two.

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 and a dryer either side of the sink. Internal doors are oak.

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

Heating is gas and dual zone, on an Ideal Logic System 30 boiler with an Oso cylinder and 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 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 your Sales Advisor 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.

Kildwick, down the hill, has a church, a pub and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, with swing bridges still opened by hand. Silsden has a market, a town hall and the everyday shops.

Steeton and Silsden station is on the Airedale Line.
