Boasting three generous double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom or en-suite, two versatile reception rooms, a beautifully appointed dining kitchen and a private enclosed garden, the property also benefits from two allocated parking spaces, access to attractive communal gardens and EV charging facilities. Situated within easy walking distance of Skipton town centre, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a distinctive character home in a highly desirable location.

LOCATION Located in the heart of North Yorkshire, Skipton is widely regarded as one of the most desirable market towns in the region, often celebrated for its charm, community feel, and quality of life. Known as the “Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales,” it offers immediate access to the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, making it ideal for those who enjoy walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits. The town itself boasts a vibrant high street with an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants, alongside well-known supermarkets and amenities. Rich in history, Skipton is home to the impressive Skipton Castle and a picturesque canal basin, adding to its unique character. With strong transport links by road and rail to larger centres such as Leeds and Bradford, Skipton perfectly balances rural beauty with everyday convenience.

A substantial timber entrance door opens into this welcoming room, which enjoys sash-style double glazed windows, Karndean parquet flooring, zoned underfloor heating and direct access to the enclosed rear garden. The space flows effortlessly into the stylish dining kitchen, beautifully fitted with bespoke forest green cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a matching central island and a range of integrated appliances including a Rangemaster oven, gas hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A contemporary cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

LOWER GROUND FLOOR The lower ground floor provides an excellent secondary reception room, offering superb flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Ideal as a snug, cinema room, home office or family room, this generous space benefits from dual-aspect windows, zoned underfloor heating, useful understairs storage and recessed lighting.

Bedroom Two benefits from dual-aspect sash-style windows, while Bedroom Three features an attractive original-style window, each complemented by stylish contemporary shower rooms fitted with walk-in showers, vanity wash basins, heated towel rails and quality fittings throughout. A useful built-in linen cupboard is located on the landing.
