Guide price £810,000

A superbly appointed three bedroom farmhouse with stunning far reaching views and a large attached barn plus a two bedroom cottage, parking, gardens, modern barn/stable plus gardens in one of Malhamdale's most stunning locations having excellent views of Malham Cove. There are 9 acres of land which can also be bought separately.

This stone built detached farmstead has its origins in earlier centuries and now combines great period charm with high quality fixtures, fittings, appointments and services. The main house and cottage have both been upgraded during our client's ownership to a superb standard, now separated by a substantial and robustly built barn which has a mezzanine storage area/gymnasium. The property would ideally suit a wide range of requirements with part to be used as a holiday cottage or annex. The barn would lend itself to conversion to create ideal further accommodation or additional cottage subject to the necessary consents. The land and barn/stable are obviously ideal for those wishing to keep livestock or particularly to those with equestrian interests. There is an upgraded oil fired central heating system, serving both the cottage and house with an unvented hot water system. A burglar alarm is installed. There is also approximately 9 acres of pasture land which stretches down to Airehead and the origins of the River Aire available by separate negotiation.

The property enjoys an idyllic location between the villages of Kirkby Malham and Malham overlooking the latter with a fine view of the Malham Cove, Pike Daw and Gordale Scar. Malham itself is a haven for walkers and countryside lovers. This picturesque village includes a shop and two public houses, a church and a well-regarded primary school close by. The market towns of Settle and Skipton are within some 7 and 11 miles respectively and offer a wide range of amenities including highly regarded secondary schools. The railway station at Skipton has services to Leeds, Bradford and London.
