Spanning approximately 3,625 sq ft across four floors, the property is steeped in character and history.

The lower levels include a substantial reception room and a large tandem garage with additional utility space. The basement features two useful rooms that could be adapted for various purposes, subject to planning permissions. On the first floor, five double bedrooms await, four with en-suite shower rooms, alongside a single bedroom and house bathroom. The second floor offers two attic rooms, presenting further opportunities for expansion or conversion into additional living spaces. Outside, the property is set within a substantial west-facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature borders, inviting future landscaping possibilities.

Confidence: LOW

This spacious six-bedroom semi-detached house in Kettlewell presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a characterful property that requires significant refurbishment. While the asking price of £485,000 may seem appealing, it does appear dear compared to the local average of £352,999, especially given that the square footage is not disclosed. This creates a limited value signal, but the potential for transformation is noteworthy.

Inside, the living areas and kitchen show clear signs of age and wear, inviting new owners to modernise and restore the home to its former glory. The property's generous layout, rich history, and the charm of the Yorkshire Dales village setting add to its allure. With the right vision, this could be a magnificent family home or a property with guest accommodation potential, allowing for both personal enjoyment and income generation. However, prospective buyers should approach with caution due to the lack of renovation estimates and potential structural issues that may not be immediately visible.

  • Located in the picturesque village of Kettlewell, ideal for outdoor activities and community living.
  • Potential for conversion into a guest house or income-generating property.
