Description
This two-bedroom mid-terraced cottage, crafted from stone, is nestled within the picturesque landscape of The Yorkshire Dales National Park. Positioned among a handful of similar properties, it presents a compelling opportunity for those with renovation ambitions. Currently requiring full refurbishment, this home may appeal particularly to builders, tradespeople, or enthusiastic DIYers seeking a project. The current owners have initiated some preliminary stripping out work, making it easier for prospective buyers to envision their upgrades. With breathtaking views over the Ribblesdale Valley and a generous outdoor space including front gardens and a rear yard with an outbuilding, there is considerable potential to create a charming residence. Note that there are certain covenants preventing the use of the property as a holiday let. This property is not mortgageable in its current state, underlining its investment potential for cash buyers looking for a challenge in an idyllic setting.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This stone-built cottage has a distinctive setting, with open views across the Ribblesdale Valley and a traditional cast-iron range in the lounge. At £145,000, the headline price alone does not establish value: floor area is missing, so comparison with local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
The 48/100 E grade reflects a substantial project and an incomplete value picture, rather than a proven weak local price. Stripped and unfinished interiors, an attic floor with open sections, absent kitchen units and bathroom fixtures, and a heavily overgrown garden give a buyer scope to rebuild and finish the cottage to their own brief. The listing says it is currently not mortgageable, and the holiday-let covenant limits how it can be used.
Key opportunities
- Shape the stripped interiors around a coherent layout and finish, using the extended kitchen area and the cottage’s multi-level arrangement as the basis for a bespoke home.
- Bring out the stone-built character and traditional range while finishing the attic space and its exposed timbers as part of the wider interior project.
- Clear and rework the overgrown front garden and rear yard to make better use of the outdoor setting and valley views.
Key risks
- Stripped interiors, open sections in the attic floor, and absent kitchen units and bathroom fixtures make this a full interior rebuild; plan for a demanding programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- The listing says the property is currently not mortgageable, and a covenant rules out holiday-let use.
