A substantial five-bedroom detached period home located just off High Bentham’s Main Street, set on a generous, mature plot with driveway parking and a detached garage. Its elegant original features — high ceilings, bay windows, cornicing and solid wood floors — create welcoming, spacious reception rooms suitable for family life and entertaining. The flexible layout includes four double bedrooms, a single bedroom for a nursery or study, an ensuite wet room, a private shower room, and lift access between floors, which adds accessibility and multi-generational appeal.
The house offers obvious scope to modernise: the kitchen and bathrooms are serviceable but dated, and the property has double glazing installed before 2002 and assumed uninsulated stone walls. The EPC rating of D and council tax Band G are material running-cost considerations. Practical benefits include a useful cellar, separate utility, multiple reception rooms, large gardens, and parking for 2–3 cars on a long driveway.
This is a rare, chain-free opportunity for a large family, buyers seeking a character home with scope, or someone looking to create a high-value renovation in a thriving small market town. The location provides good local amenities, primary schools rated Good, a train station on the Leeds–Lancaster line, and easy access to the Forest of Bowland and the Dales for outdoor life. Viewing advised to appreciate scale, character and garden potential in person.
