Set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this three-bedroom detached house offers a rare redevelopment opportunity for a family wanting a bespoke home in outstanding countryside. The plot extends to approximately 0.17 acres, with lawned gardens, ample parking and an adjoining garage — a generous canvas for landscaping or extension (subject to planning).
The property requires complete refurbishment throughout: internal reconfiguration, modern services and cosmetic renewal are needed. There is evidence of structural movement (subsidence) in varying parts of the building; buyers should factor in professional structural surveys and remedial costs. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and double glazing has been installed post-2002.
Located on the edge of Casterton with easy access to Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale, the house sits close to reputable schools and village amenities while being bordered on two sides by open countryside. Broadband is fast, mobile signal average, crime is very low and flood risk is nil — practical positives for family living.
This is a project for purchasers seeking long-term value: potential to extend (subject to consents), replan internal layouts to modern standards, and capitalise on the desirable national-park setting. Be transparent about likely renovation budget and structural remedial work when planning next steps.
