Description
This five-bedroom detached house is set in a rural position near Colne, with a long gated drive, extensive grounds and views across the surrounding countryside. The accommodation is described as including a kitchen, two lounges, a dining room, five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a downstairs WC. The listing notes that the property needs some attention and has been in the same ownership for many years.
Outside, the grounds include an orchard, woodland, a walled garden and patio. The property also has a double garage, cellars and outbuildings. A separate gym, spa or billiard-room building is described as connected to the house by an upper-level walkway. The listing refers to previous planning for a large family kitchen and for a granny flat; the status and scope of any permissions would need checking. Skipton is stated to be around six miles away.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a distinctive, substantial project: a five-bedroom detached home with an orchard, woodland, walled garden, outbuildings and a long gated approach, set amid countryside with views towards the Yorkshire Dales. At £595,000, it is around 3.4% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, which supports the value case. The visible damaged and missing render and dark staining need investigation, and the roof condition is unclear; the gallery does not show the interior, so the full scope remains uncertain.
The grounds and unusual character features offer plenty to work with, but this is a heavy project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The overall WHOTS score is 46/100, grade E: the fundamentals and location are strong, while the condition and limited renovation-economics evidence hold back the opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Rework a substantial five-bedroom home to suit a buyer’s needs, with the listing also describing cellars, a double garage and outbuildings.
- Shape the orchard, woodland, walled garden and long approach into a distinctive setting, making use of the mature trees and stone walls.
- Investigate and repair the exterior render as part of a broader plan to restore the house’s character.
Key risks
- A heavy, whole-house project with the interior scope not visible in the available photos — plan for a substantial programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Damaged or missing render and dark staining are visible; the cause and extent need investigation, and the roof condition cannot be assessed from the ground-level views.
