Description

This four-bedroom stone farmhouse, accompanied by a two-bedroom annexe, is situated within the picturesque landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The property enjoys breathtaking views to the west, making it a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts. While the main farmhouse requires modernization to meet contemporary living standards, this presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and customization. The generous living spaces include two reception rooms, a kitchen with a pantry, and a lower ground floor cellar. On the first floor, you'll find four spacious double bedrooms along with a house bathroom. Additionally, the expansive attic offers further potential for conversion into additional living space or storage, subject to necessary approvals. The annexe is more modern in construction and features well-designed accommodations spread over two floors. It includes an entrance hall leading to two bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor, while the first floor provides a lounge with scenic views, a kitchen, and another shower room—ideal for accommodating family members or guests. Externally, the property benefits from level lawned gardens at the front and rear as well as an enclosed side garden by the annexe. Parking space is ample, ensuring convenience for multiple vehicles. Potential buyers may also have access to additional agricultural land of up to four acres by separate negotiation, enhancing investment opportunities. The location of this farmhouse not only provides stunning natural beauty but also represents significant value through potential appreciation following renovations. Viewing is encouraged to fully grasp both the property's size and its possibilities for transformation into a remarkable family home or investment project. With double-glazed windows in the annexe and oil-fired central heating already installed, this property combines traditional charm with modern heating solutions while offering scope for further updates that can enhance comfort and efficiency.
