Two traditional stone houses sit together in an elevated hamlet within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering exceptional views, privacy and flexible living. Staney Gill House provides multiple reception rooms, a conservatory/sunroom, and up to 4–5 double bedrooms; Highgate House includes a sizeable joiner’s workshop and a one-bedroom apartment — useful as an annex or holiday let.
The properties retain period character: exposed beams, stone-flagged floors, inglenook fireplaces and original staircases. Gas and oil-fired boilers serve the houses and there is mains water, electricity and drainage. The setting and dual accommodation create genuine opportunity for multi-generational living or an income stream from the on-site apartment or holiday let.
Important practical points are clear: both buildings require renovation and updating, with EPC ratings of F (Staney Gill) and G (Highgate). The stone walls have little assumed insulation and some services are older; the listing notes much work to be done. Council tax bands are high and the plot is modest in size despite attractive patio and garden areas.
This sale is chain free and well-suited to buyers seeking a character-filled project in a remote, low-crime location with excellent mobile signal. It will particularly suit families wanting flexible accommodation, buyers aiming to run a small holiday income, or a tradesperson seeking an on-site workshop — provided they budget for refurbishment and energy improvements.
