20 Brookside, Skipton,

NO FORWARD CHAIN
Offered at a realistic asking price to reflect the need for an immediate scheme of modernisation and refurbishment, this very appealing stone built through terraced property enjoys a delightful beckside position in the centre of Skipton, pleasantly tucked away in this relatively hidden location just off the High Street and therefore with all town centre amenities immediately on hand.

Having a real sense of stepping back in time, Brookside enjoys a charming setting nestled in the centre of this historic market town, being accessed via an archway close to the bottom of the High Street which leads down to this quaint cluster of stone built Victorian terraced homes, arranged in short rows amongst traditional cobbled streets. Number twenty occupies a choice position within the centre of the farthest row, peacefully backing onto a tree-lined embankment following the beautiful 'Wilderness Beck'.

Equipped with gas central heating together with UPVC sealed unit double glazing, this deceptively spacious home offers two bedroom accommodation laid out over three floors and also benefits from enclosed patio gardens to both the front and the rear with the rear enjoying an aspect over the beck and towards trees beyond.

Certainly representing a great investment opportunity with the obvious potential to increase in value subject to undertaking the necessary range of improvements now required, this stone built character home comprises very briefly:

A fitted kitchen, a living room with feature recessed fireplace and pleasant views, a spacious first floor bedroom also having pleasant views overlooking the beck, a bathroom with three piece suite incorporating mixer shower over the bath and a second floor attic room with velux roof window.

The increasingly popular market town of Skipton has won many accolades in recent years, being independently judged to be one of the best areas to live in the UK via multiple media sources. Catering to residents of all ages, the town offers the perfect combination of excellent schooling, easy access to countryside and an extensive choice of leisure, shopping and recreational facilities.

The town is intersected by the scenic Leeds/Liverpool canal and is well known for its Medieval Church and Castle together with a bustling High Street featuring an outdoor market on the cobbled 'setts' four days a week. The town offers an excellent mix of independent shops, pubs and cafes in addition to having well known branded stores and a choice of fashionable bars and restaurants. There are excellent public transport links, including a railway station providing regular daily services to Leeds and Bradford. The towns enjoys an annual programme of community events and festivals, attracting an ever increasing degree of tourism. In addition, the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park is only a short drive away to the north, offering some of the finest countryside and scenery in the UK.

Stone built character homes situated on the level and within such close proximity of the High Street rarely become available for purchase within this price range therefore this property is very strongly recommended for inspection. The accommodation comprises in further detail:
