Prospect House is a substantial, characterful three-bedroom detached home on the edge of Long Preston, set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Dating from the 1600s and extending over approximately 1,900 sq ft, the house offers generous reception rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen with AGA, and period features such as mullioned windows, exposed timbers and stone fireplaces that create authentic countryside character.
Externally the plot is generous, with a mature front garden, cobbled rear courtyard with parking for several vehicles and an integral garage/workshop. The village location gives easy access to open countryside while still being close to local amenities, a village station and good schools — appealing for families seeking space and rural lifestyle.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. That listing brings planning and repair constraints and may complicate alterations. Many original openings are single glazed and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so prospective owners should budget for conservation‑sensitive improvements if enhanced thermal performance or double glazing replacements are required. No electrical or gas appliances have been checked; buyers must satisfy themselves on services and systems prior to purchase.
Overall this is a rare, spacious period home with strong rural appeal and scope for sympathetic upgrading. It will suit buyers who value historic character, large rooms and private outdoor space, and who understand the care and constraints of owning a listed building in a protected national-park setting.
