Set on the edge of Winterburn overlooking open countryside, this former reservoir keeper’s house blends period character with high-quality modern finish. The principal rooms enjoy high ceilings, large windows and far-reaching views; the farmhouse-style Smallbone kitchen with Everhot range is a particular highlight for family meals and entertaining. Landscaped grounds of c.0.479 acres, flagged paths and a double garage with workshop complete a desirable rural package.
A self-contained one-bedroom annex with its own kitchenette and bathroom offers flexible use as guest accommodation, home office, or income potential as a holiday let. The main house provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two storeys, with useful utility/laundry room and a ground-floor cloakroom/shower for muddy boots after walks from the doorstep.
Buyers should note a few practical limitations of this location: mobile reception is absent and broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect home working. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and the stone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so running costs and retrofit works should be considered. Council tax is above average.
This property will appeal to families or those seeking a quiet country lifestyle with easy access to Skipton (about 15 minutes) and to outdoor pursuits in the Yorkshire Dales. It offers immediate, comfortable living coupled with clear scope for updating services and improving energy performance if desired.
