Set in the hamlet of Calton within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this substantial stone barn conversion offers roomy family living with far-reaching country views. The house combines farmhouse charm — an ESSE range in the dining-kitchen, wood- and multi-fuel stoves — with practical spaces including a boot room, utility and a large garage/workshop.
Accommodation is flexible: two ground-floor rooms (one used as a bedroom and one as an office/bedroom), a huge first-floor living-dining-family room, two further double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fully boarded loft with Velux windows offering potential for additional bedrooms or creative use. Mature gardens to the rear provide private lawns, a summer house and elevated vistas across the Dales — ideal for outdoor family time and entertaining.
Important practical points are stated plainly. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so you should expect higher running costs and possible improvement works to upgrade thermal performance. Council tax is described as quite expensive. On the positive side this is a large freehold property in an affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working and modern family life.
This home will suit buyers seeking character, space and countryside privacy who are comfortable with maintenance and energy-upgrade projects. It’s particularly attractive for families wanting roomy, adaptable accommodation close to Skipton and local schools, with the added benefit of a substantial garage/workshop and generous private grounds.
