Elegant four-bedroom period house with huge gardens and strong renovation potential.
Substantial Victorian detached house on ~0.75 acre plot
Brooklands is a substantial Victorian detached home set in approximately three-quarters of an acre in a highly sought area of Skipton. The house offers four double bedrooms, four reception rooms and generous proportions throughout, with high ceilings, original fireplaces, sash windows and ornate coving that retain strong period character.
The bespoke Manor Barn kitchen is fitted with high-end appliances and underfloor heating, opening to a family room with a wood-burning stove. Practical outbuildings include a vaulted cellar, store rooms, a detached double garage and a private driveway. Extensive mature gardens, greenhouse and vegetable patch provide excellent outdoor space and scope for landscaping or further leisure uses.
Buyers should note this is a period property that will benefit from updating in places. The house is stone-built (pre-1900) with assumed no wall insulation, an EPC rating of D and council tax in Band G, so energy and running costs will be higher than modern homes. There is a medium flood risk flagged for the area and local crime levels are above average; these are important factors for budgeting and insurance.
For families seeking generous rooms, character and a large private garden close to town and the Dales, Brooklands presents rare potential. Investors or buyers looking to modernise will find significant scope to increase comfort and efficiency while preserving the property’s original features.
