A superb period property located on the outskirts of Giggleswick. This Yorkshire stone farmhouse has recently been re-roofed and benefits from fabulous gardens with superb long distance views across the Ribble valley.

Swawbeck occupies a stunning position within walking distance of Giggleswick railway station from its convenient yet private location. Named after the beck running through bordering fields across the lane, Swawbeck is surrounded by stunning countryside and benefits from its slightly elevated situation allowing breath-taking views, protected by the Yorkshire Dales to the east and the Forest of Bowland to the West.

This Yorkshire stone farmhouse, with its large, well-proportioned rooms, offers a wonderful combination of characterful original features with massive potential to extend and improve. The property is re-offered to market with the benefit of having been comprehensively re-roofed during Summer of 2023.

The house is arranged over three storeys and when accessed from the front entrance hallway, briefly comprises wc, workshop, pantry, large sitting room with multi fuel stove, living/dining room with an impressive fireplace and a separate kitchen. There is a stone flagged understairs cloak space which houses the oil-fired boiler. To the first floor are three double bedrooms, master with en suite shower room and separate house bathroom.
