Detached house for sale in Skipton BD23, 4 Bedroom

£450,000 for Farmhouse only.

£650,000 to include separate detached cottage also.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a delightful 400 year old farmhouse and, optionally, a separate detached cottage. Located in the lovely quiet village of West Martonin the Yorkshire Dales, between Skipton and Clitheroe, the properties are close to main arterial routes running North-South and East-West.

The farmhouse property has been vacant for some time and presents an ideal opportunity for a new owner to modernise the property to their own design.

The accommodation includes: Hall, three reception rooms, large breakfast kitchen, separate pantry, utility room, boiler house and ample extra storage areas; four first floor bedrooms and two bathrooms; garage and stabling; self-contained cottage with sitting room, breakfast kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom; private garden and small paddock area.

Yew Tree Farmhouse is built from Yorkshire stone with splendid mullioned windows and has a wealth of wooden beams throughout. It is in a quiet location, being some distance from the main through road and is a Grade II listed building.

This presents an excellent opportunity for anyone wishing to develop an existing property to their own specifications, and has huge potential. It will make a truly magnificent family home, or could be converted to two semi-detached homes - as well as the detached apartment property.

The vendors are willing to consider selling only the farmhouse, if prospective purchasers do not want to buy the detached cottage too.
