Fogga Croft, Coniston Cold, Skipton, BD23 4EA

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Fogga Croft:

1. A detached barn conversion, c. 2318 sq ft (215.4 sq m) - formerly two properties, a cottage and an attached barn, which have recently been combined into one spacious, well maintained property with a flexible layout. The property is set in a former farmstead, just off the A65.

2. Come on in... the entrance is open to the apex and is open to the L-shaped sitting/dining room. The galley kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, integral appliances and has space for a table and chairs and double opening glazed doors to outside. There is also a utility room and separate cloakroom.

3. ... and so to bed - there are six double bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, both with en suite shower rooms. There are four bedrooms to the first floor, two being en suite as well as a separate bathroom and shower room.

4. Outdoor space - there is a generous gravelled private parking and turning area for a number of vehicles to the north. A large lawned area is situated to the north and a private flagged courtyard to the south with seating terrace and an elevated terrace with hot tub.

5. Adjoining paddock, c. 1.43 acres (0.58 hectares), is ready for five a side matches, camping, dog agility, a small pony, your hen hut or kitchen garden dreams!

6. Income potential - currently a successful holiday let, the contents maybe for sale by way of separate negotiation.

7. Coniston Cold is a small village, situated on the A65 surrounded by open fields. Overlooking its own lake and nestled on a 1400 acre estate, Coniston Cold Hotel, Country Estate and Spa is on the doorstep and offers award winning dining, excellent conference and meeting facilities as well as a wide range of activities including shooting, off-road driving, archery and fishing.

8. Nearby are the villages of Hellifield (2.5 miles) with a village shop, doctors' surgery, post office, pub, primary school and two churches and Gargrave (2.7 miles) with a Co-op, church, village hall and several pubs. Long Preston, known as the 'Gateway to the Dales' being 4.5 miles distant, is an attractive village with a primary school, pubs, a post office, village shop and village hall.

9. Further afield - a larger selection of facilities can be found in the popular market towns of Skipton (7.1 miles) and Settle (8.6 miles) both with train stations (Skipton on the Airedale Line and Settle on the scenic Settle to Carlisle Line).

10. For those keen on outdoor life, the property is close to The Yorkshire Dales and, along with the Lake District National Park and the nearby Forest of Bowland (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), this is an area where the outdoors can really be embraced. Surrounded by nature and wildlife, where walks including the Three Peaks, cycle routes, riding and caving are all at hand and yet it remains extremely accessible.
