Set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Wood Cottage is a converted 200‑year‑old barn offering substantial grounds and period character. The main house provides three double bedrooms each with ensuite, a large farmhouse kitchen/diner, a cosy snug with a multi‑fuel stove, and exposed stone and beam features that create authentic rural charm.
The property sits on about 1.5 acres of formal garden, paddock and woodland, with a pond and generous off‑street parking. A separate barn (approx. 5,156 sq ft) has planning permission (13/B/2007/2627/FP) to create a five‑bedroom extension, making this a rare opportunity for significant enlargement or a separate enterprise subject to permissions and practical work.
Practical systems include a bore hole, private sewerage, dual fuel heating (oil and biomass) and a boiler with radiators; the main fuel used is wood logs. Important practical drawbacks are an EPC rating of F, very slow broadband and no mobile signal, and the stone walls are likely uninsulated — any buyer should budget for energy‑efficiency improvements and ongoing maintenance.
Offered chain free and promoted for a quick sale, this property will suit families seeking seclusion and outdoor space, buyers wanting a renovation/project with development potential, or small‑scale rural enterprises. The house is large and characterful but requires investment to modernise services and improve energy performance.
