A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED 3 BEDROOMED FARMHOUSE AND BARN WITH ATTRACTIVE GARDENS AND 6 ACRES OF GOOD GRASSLAND IN
A SUPERB RURAL LOCATION

Substantially constructed in stone covered with a traditional heavy Grey slate roof and with origins dating back in excess of 350 years, this property forms a handsome Grade II listed 3 Bedroomed Yorkshire Longhouse with an adjoining barn, which stands in a beautiful unspoiled south facing location in the heart of The Yorkshire Dales National Park, being approximately 250 yards from the B6265 trunk road between Grassington and Harrogate.

Re-roofed and felted in more recent times, much of the original character has been carefully retained to combine a delightful blend of flagged floors, beamed ceilings and fine period fireplaces with tasteful décor and high quality Kitchen and Bathroom fittings, the whole being served by oil fired central heating and sealed unit double glazing set within timber frames. 

Also cleverly extended and with further scope to incorporate part or indeed all of the Barn into the existing living space, (subject to obtaining the usual consents) the property stands amidst wonderful lawned gardens, having approximately 6 acres of adjoining grassland and would appeal to those seeking a small easily managed Gentleman’s Estate in a first class location close to Skipton, Ilkley and Harrogate which are 12, 11 and 20 miles distant respectively.
