New Garth House, Airton, Skipton

New Garth House is a stunning and clever blend of period, arts & crafts and contemporary design and finishes. Originally a 1970's build, and so having an insulated cavity wall and modern construction methods, yet having the feel of a much older period property.

With some striking features throughout to include an open fire in the living room along with bespoke antique built-in cupboards, high quality oak doors and flooring, and bespoke timber blinds fitted to the majority of the windows to mention just a few.
