Set in a quiet village within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this traditional stone-built house offers a strong countryside lifestyle for a family seeking space and privacy. The house presents four bedrooms, generous reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room, all arranged over two storeys with period character and good room proportions. The elevated rear aspect delivers uninterrupted views across open fields and Swaledale.
Outside is a standout: substantial walled gardens, an orchard, paved patio areas and a very large plot that extends into adjoining paddock/field. A substantial detached garage plus an adjoining stone outbuilding and enclosed yard give practical parking, workshop space and clear scope for conversion or other development subject to consents.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward. Main heating is oil-fired with a boiler and underfloor heating; buyers should factor ongoing running and servicing costs. There is only one family bathroom for four bedrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Construction details include a 2023 build date in the data provided — buyers should verify age and any modern work or warranties when viewing.
Overall, the property suits a family or buyer seeking a rural lifestyle with scope to personalise and improve ancillary buildings. The combination of strong countryside views, large private gardens and outbuilding potential are the primary value drivers, balanced by oil heating, limited bathroom provision and likely higher local council tax.
