Set on a stone-built Victorian terrace in the popular Raikes area, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a well-presented, family-friendly layout across two storeys. The house retains period features — fireplaces, sash windows and high ceilings — while practical updates such as mains gas central heating and double glazing (post-2002) make it comfortably liveable from day one. A small flagged rear garden and front paved patio provide outdoor space without high maintenance.
The accommodation suits families seeking character close to Skipton’s schools, shops and canal towpaths. At about 936 sq ft there’s scope to modernise and reconfigure, particularly for buyers wanting to add contemporary storage or kitchen space. The property is freehold and not in a flood-risk area, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for home working or streaming.
Important practical points to note: the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean higher heating demand unless upgraded. The house has one family bathroom and a small plot, so it will suit buyers comfortable with terraced living rather than those wanting large gardens. Local crime levels are reported as high for the area; prospective purchasers should consider security and verify current crime data.
Overall this is a solid Victorian home that balances character and convenience. It will appeal most to families or buyers seeking a manageable renovation project with good transport links and strong local amenities on the doorstep.
