Description

This four-bedroom converted stone barn, located in the serene village of Buckden within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, presents a significant opportunity for renovation and enhancement. Originally designed as basic holiday accommodation, it now offers potential investors a chance to modernize it into a desirable family residence or an attractive short-term rental option, supported by recent planning approval for residential use under specific occupancy conditions. The property spans two levels: the ground floor includes two double bedrooms, a bathroom, a drawing room, and a garage/workshop space. The first floor features a linear landing that leads to an expansive kitchen and another two double bedrooms accompanied by a spacious living area. While parking facilities are generally available nearby—verified through a Statutory Declaration—the addition of outdoor amenities such as the National Trust managed garden and BBQ area enhances its appeal, providing residents with communal leisure space. Though the barn requires modernization throughout, this opens up avenues for customization that can align with personal tastes or market trends. The location's accessibility via public transport and proximity to local amenities in Buckden and Skipton further enhances its investment potential for those looking to tap into the Yorkshire Dales' vibrant tourism landscape.
