A charming one-bedroom apartment in a Victorian conversion, offered with no forward chain and excellent commuter links. The living room looks over a gentle beck, giving a quiet, pleasing outlook from the first floor. Recent updates include a newly fitted boiler controlled by a Nest thermostat and a fibre broadband point — practical benefits for modern living.
The layout is compact (approx. 377 sq ft) and suits a single person or couple seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home close to shops, cafés and the nearby railway for journeys to Skipton, Bradford and Leeds. The property comes with 25% of the freehold as one of four flats, and a long lease (965 years remaining), which removes common lease-length worries for buyers.
Be upfront about the trade-offs: the flat is small and sits within a period building that will likely need ongoing attention to improve energy performance. The service charge is approximately £1,200 per year (£100 pcm) and residents jointly manage the building, so you should expect involvement in communal decisions and maintenance costs. The interior is well presented but double glazing install dates are unknown and some modernisation may be desirable over time.
Overall this is a practical, characterful home for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a straightforward purchase with minimal immediate legal complexity, generous lease length and convenient village amenities. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the light, high ceilings and pleasant rear-facing outlook over the beck.
