Set above Main Street in Low Bentham, this first-floor Victorian one-bedroom flat blends period charm with practical modern comforts. Stripped pine doors, picture rails and exposed stone create character throughout, while double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday efficiency. A bright sitting room, separate kitchen and good-sized double bedroom make the layout comfortable for a single occupant or couple.
Externally there is a stone-flagged courtyard with bin storage, a wooden shed and useful stone-built storage — a low-maintenance outdoor space for drying or pots. The flat sits in a quiet village with good road and rail links, easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and local amenities close by, making it appealing as a country bolt-hole or rental investment.
Practical points to note: the apartment is small at about 302 sq ft and is sold at auction by the Modern Method of Auction, which carries extra buyer fees and a short completion timetable. The property is leasehold with a very long 960-year lease and a peppercorn rent, and the EPC is rated D.
Overall this is a straightforward, characterful one-bedroom suited to first-time buyers, downsizers seeking a simple village base, or investors wanting a manageable income property in an affluent, low-crime area. Buyers should budget for the auction reservation fee and complete pre-purchase checks on services and mortgage suitability before bidding.
