THE ULTIMATE VROOM WITH A VIEW

Linley & Simpson is gearing up for a speedy rental of one of the most unusually-located homes - trackside on the famed Harewood Hill Climb motor racing circuit.

Stockton Farmhouse boasts the ultimate 'vroom with a view' - particularly on racedays as competitors hurtle past its front door as they negotiate a twisting 1,448-metre course in a time as quick as 50 seconds.

"This is among the most unusual properties we have had for letting in our ten-year history - but it clearly holds plenty of appeal for motor enthusiasts and lovers of the Yorkshire countryside alike," said Linley & Simpson's Wetherby branch manager Emily Malec.

"It is a unique opportunity to live in a four-bedroom Victorian farmhouse in an elevated position on the Harewood Hill Climb, one of the premier tracks in the country.

"With the exception of racedays, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with panoramic views over some of Yorkshire's most striking countryside.

"On racedays - and there were ten in 2007 - it forms an integral part of the course, which snakes through its yard as competitors race around the historic Farmhouse Bend to the finish."

Situated off The Avenue, Harewood, the farmhouse has been recently refurbished and comprises entrance hall, dining kitchen, lounge with open fire, dining room, four bedrooms and a garden/patio area with ample outside storage. There is a house bathroom and ensuite shopwer room. For rent at £1,600 per month, it is available through Linley & Simpson's Wetherby office on 01937 586060 and further details and photos can be viewed at www.linleyandsimpson.co.uk.

New property manager for Linley & Simpson Wetherby

The Wetherby Branch of Linley and Simpson, which offers properties to rent in popular villages surrounding the market town including Linton, Boston Spa, Collingham and Bramham, is pleased to announce the appointment of new Property Manager, Laura Murtagh, who joins the company with experience of the local property and letting markets having worked for both an estate agent and letting agent in Harrogate previously. Laura's knowledge and expertise will compliment the already strong team at the branch as they continue to provide an excellent rental service to landlords and tenants in the Wetherby area. Nearing the end of another successful quarter of letting high quality properties in and around Wetherby, the branch has gone from strength to strength since it opened in October 2004 and now manages nearly 200 properties for local landlords.

A1M upgrades & country's first carbon neutral motoring station enhance Wetherby as an area to buy and rent

The ongoing upgrade to the A1M at Wetherby and the opening of the country's first carbon neutral motoring service station at Kirk Deighton have further enhanced Wetherby as an area to buy and rent property. The improved road networks will provide considerable benefits to local residents through the addition of local access roads to and from Wetherby reducing congestion both on the A1 and in the villages. The new roads will be particularly significant in reducing traffic through the villages of Thorner and Bramham. These villages already popular for renting will no longer be accessible directly from the A1 and will therefore be quieter, less polluted, more family friendly locations to choose to live. The timing of the opening of these new roads is also ideal in light of the influx of traffic expected to the area for major local events such as Bramham International Horse Trials and the Leeds Festival.

The widening of the A1 itself will also improve the road as a major artery for commuters up and down the country. The close proximity and ease of access to the A1 to the villages covered by the Wetherby office of Linley and Simpson is frequently cited by prospective tenants as one of their main reasons for choosing to rent locally.

The new services will also improve local amenities to residents and will include shops, restaurants, a picnic area and a petrol station. The Wetherby branch has already noticed the impact of the services on the local area by letting a number of properties to employees moving specifically to the area for the job opportunities on offer.'
