Summary - The Old School House, Skipton Old Road, COLNE BB8 7EW
3 bed 3 bath Barn Conversion
Spacious, characterful barn conversion with far-reaching countryside views and versatile outbuildings.
Approximately 1.5 acres of paddock ideal for pony grazing
Set on about 1.5 acres with a detached garage and stable, The Old School House is a spacious barn conversion that balances rural character with contemporary comfort. High ceilings, exposed beams and large windows frame long-range panoramic views while quality finishes — oak joinery, Brazilian slate and a Siematic kitchen — create a comfortable family home. The house was converted in 2010 and benefits from SIP insulation and underfloor heating in key rooms, giving good thermal performance and a modern feel.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a large open-plan living/dining/kitchen, versatile ground-floor snug (former garage), three principal bedrooms and three bathrooms including an ensuite and a ground-floor shower room. Practical outbuildings include a detached garage, workshop/storage and a stable currently set up as a workshop; the paddock is suitable for grazing or small-scale equestrian use. There is ample gravelled parking and private outdoor terraces to enjoy the southerly views.
Important practical points: heating is by an LPG boiler (not mains gas), there is a septic tank/inspection chamber and broadband speeds are very slow — factors to consider for remote working and running costs. Council tax sits in Band F and will be relatively high. The stable offers potential for reinstatement or alternative uses, subject to planning and checks.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a substantial rural home with versatile outbuildings and significant land. It suits families wanting space and character, hobby equestrians or anyone prioritising privacy and views over close urban convenience.
