Nestled in the tranquil village of Stalling Busk, this three-bedroom property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated at the southern edge of Semerwater, Yorkshire's second-largest natural lake, the location is a serene retreat surrounded by picturesque landscapes and rich wildlife. The nearby village of Bainbridge, just three miles away, provides essential amenities, including a primary school, local pub, butcher’s shop, and a convenience store. For more extensive services, the bustling market town of Hawes is only five miles from your doorstep.
The property itself boasts a wealth of traditional features that capture the character of the Dales. Inside, you will find charming elements such as exposed beams, stone floors, and a historic stone-built pantry with original slate shelving—previously utilized for cheese storage. Generous living space spreads across two levels; the ground floor welcomes you with two inviting reception rooms that feature traditional open fires and a spacious farmhouse kitchen that leads directly to the walk-in pantry. A functional utility room and downstairs family bathroom enhance practicality for everyday living.
An intriguing aspect of this property is its potential for flexible use. Above the boot room sits an additional bedroom that could serve as an annexe with independent access—ideal for accommodating guests or creating an income-generating rental space. Upstairs is brightened by multiple windows; it houses three further double bedrooms alongside another family bathroom.
While the home retains its historic charm, it does require modernization and currently lacks central heating. An oil-fired Aga provides cooking facilities and hot water needs on-site. The expansive grounds are enclosed by dry stone walls and include a large garden divided into three sections with breathtaking views over the countryside towards Semerwater—perfect for those seeking outdoor tranquility.
This property also features two attached stone barns that come with pre-planning advice suggesting their conversion into additional residential units is feasible—subject to formal planning applications. This opens up exciting possibilities for investors looking to capitalize on rental opportunities or create multi-generational living arrangements.
With its peaceful rural setting yet proximity to essential amenities, this property is well-suited for families wanting to embrace a lifestyle change or investors attracted to its substantial renovation potential and conversion opportunities.
