A traditional mid-terraced stone cottage in the heart of Skipton, offered freehold and with no forward chain. The house sits on a Victorian street within easy walking distance of the town centre, canal towpath and local amenities. A brand-new roof (installed April 2025) and gas central heating provide recent key updates, while uPVC double glazing helps with comfort.
Internally the layout is straightforward: sitting room with period fireplace, fitted kitchen with rear door, two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom. Rooms are modest to average in size across c.753 sq ft, making the property suitable for a first-time buyer wanting a town base or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let in a popular market town.
Buyers should note the property has an EPC rating of E and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation and energy-efficiency improvements are likely needed to reduce running costs. The yard is flagged and compact—useful for outdoor seating but not a large garden. Local crime levels are reported as above average for the area; purchasers should weigh this when considering personal security or rental positioning.
Overall this is a compact, characterful terrace with scope to modernise and add value, particularly by improving insulation and updating decor and fittings. Its central location, recent roof and gas heating make it a practical, low-hassle purchase for someone prepared to carry out modest upgrades.
