Description
LOCATION
Known as the “Gateway to the Dales”, Skipton is a thriving and historic market town set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town boasts strong agricultural roots and is home to a magnificent 11th-century castle. Skipton’s vibrant High Street hosts a popular market four days a week and offers an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and public houses. The Leeds–Liverpool Canal runs through the town, providing scenic towpath walks, while families benefit from an excellent choice of primary and secondary schools. Skipton has been widely recognised for its quality of life, having been voted the best place to live in Britain by The Sunday Times in 2014 and officially named the happiest place to live in the UK by the Office for National Statistics in 2017.
GROUND FLOOR
The property is entered via a practical entrance porch with wooden flooring, a half-paned composite front door and space for coats and shoes. The boiler is also housed here. The entrance hall features a characterful stained glass door with matching window surround, a wooden balustrade staircase to the first floor, a side window providing natural light, a radiator and useful under-stairs storage. From here there is access to the kitchen, living room and dining/sitting room. The living room is a bright and spacious reception room with a large front-facing bay window, fitted curved radiator and an electric fireplace with stone-effect surround. Decorative features include coving, a ceiling rose and a glass internal door. The galley-style kitchen is fitted with wooden wall and base units, black worktops and tiled splashbacks. Appliances include an induction hob with extractor, Siemens oven and space for a fridge freezer. A side window and glazed door provide light and access to the outside. Just off the kitchen is a snug/breakfast room, previously used as a breakfast area, with a window overlooking the rear garden—an ideal spot for relaxed dining or a morning coffee. The dining/sitting room is a versatile and inviting space with a large window and radiator. An archway leads through to the sitting area, which features two alcoves either side of an electric fireplace with a grey stone hearth and wooden surround. Additional features include coving, ceiling rose, side window and a door to the rear. To the rear of the property is a further hallway providing access to the shower room, outside space and additional reception rooms. The ground floor shower room includes a block shower, extractor fan and a store area with access to the garage. The games room, currently used for storage, is accessed via a sliding door and features a window to the elevation. The study is another reception room with windows to the side and rear elevations and offers further flexibility, though it requires some remedial work. The garage provides useful storage and space for appliances, accessed via an up-and-over door.
FIRST FLOOR
The landing features a stained glass window to the side elevation, along with coving, a ceiling rose, bulkhead storage and a loft hatch. All first-floor rooms are accessed from here. The separate WC includes an Armitage Shanks toilet, hand basin, radiator and frosted window, with tiled walls behind the basin. The shower room is fully tiled and fitted with a block shower, vanity sink unit, radiator and a rear-facing window allowing natural light. Bedroom one is a spacious double bedroom to the front of the property, featuring a large built-in wardrobe, coving, ceiling rose and a bay window with curved radiator beneath, offering attractive views. Bedroom two is a rear-facing double bedroom with extensive built-in wardrobes featuring mirrored doors, a window overlooking the garden and a radiator. Bedroom three is a single bedroom to the front elevation, again enjoying pleasant views and offering space for storage.
OUTSIDE
The rear garden offers excellent potential and includes a newly installed summer house which is carpeted and adaptable for a variety of uses. A concrete seating area leads to steps up to a decked section, with a grassy area and patio beyond. The garden provides ample space for extension or, as some neighbouring properties have done, the addition of a granny flat, subject to the necessary consents. To the rear of the garden is a private driveway providing off-street parking for at least one vehicle, with gated pedestrian access back into the garden. The front garden features a driveway with space for up to three vehicles, alongside a lawned area, offering both practicality and kerb appeal.
