Summary - JOHN BROWN COTTAGE AIRTON SKIPTON BD23 4AY
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful village home with modern finishes and countryside access.
Chain-free former chapel conversion dating to the 1830s
John Brown Cottage is a beautifully renovated former chapel (1830s) set in the peaceful village of Airton, close to Malham Cove and Gordale Scar. The house retains striking character – exposed stonework, multiple fireplaces and bespoke joinery – while delivering contemporary comfort across three reception rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The bespoke kitchen is fitted with high-spec appliances, Iroko worktops and a breakfast bar; the principal bathroom features a claw-foot bath and underfloor heating. Flexible lower-ground living and snug/games areas open directly to the rear stone patio, making the layout well suited to family life, home-working or holiday stays.
Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators and the EPC is rated D. The property’s original granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs despite recent renovation. The plot is relatively small but low‑maintenance, with useful off‑street parking for several cars and good storage in two sheds.
In short, this is a character-rich, chain-free home for buyers seeking rural living with modern fixtures and easy access to the Dales. Its combination of period detail, flexible space and a scenic village location will suit families or buyers prioritising lifestyle and countryside access, though further insulation or heating upgrades would be sensible longer‑term investments.
