Summary - THE BARN APPERSETT HAWES DL8 3LN
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Large plot and extension consent for growing-family buyers.
Three double bedrooms plus ground-floor ensuite guest bedroom
Set on about 0.4 acres at the west end of Appersett, this substantial stone house offers roomy family living, outstanding countryside views and planning approval to increase bedroom count. The ground floor layout is flexible: vaulted living room with mezzanine home office, a dining room with multi-fuel stove, modern kitchen-diner with granite island, utility and a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite — useful for guests or dependent family.
The property has been well updated and incorporates a former commercial garage (2016). Generous enclosed gardens, raised beds and established trees create private outdoor space, while a gravel driveway and single garage provide ample parking. Planning permission for a two-storey west extension means you can add two ensuite bedrooms and increase resale or holiday-let potential (subject to consents).
Important practical points: the house is oil‑heated (boiler and radiators) and uses oil fuel not on a communal supply. The stone walls appear uninsulated (as built), and double glazing predates 2002 — further thermal upgrading may be needed to improve efficiency. There is a high flood risk for the area; buyers should obtain flood-cover advice and insurance quotes. Council tax is above average for the area.
This is a strong option for a growing family seeking rural space and character, or for buyers wanting to develop accommodation (B&B or holiday rental potential subject to permissions). Viewing is advised to appreciate the scale, internal ceiling heights and far-reaching views across the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
