Property description

A unique 6 bedroom converted barn presently split into two self-contained apartments with parking and easily managed gardens centrally located in this idyllic Wharfedale village.

Ashley Croft is a stone built Dales barn which sits under a pitched slate Yorkstone roof.   The property was converted in the 1970s to offer two excellent properties both of which offer centrally heated three bedroom accommodation. The layout of the two apartments is almost identical with a substantial living area, kitchen and three bedrooms together with a bathroom/shower room.   There are attractive mainly paved, easily managed communal gardens and the first floor property has the benefit of balcony with handsome views. There is also a very useful and robustly built workshop/store and excellent facilities.

The property is eminently suitable to be reconverted back to a substantial 6 bedroom family home subject to the necessary consents and benefits from mains water, electricity and drainage together with an oiled fired central heating system and some double glazing.   Although in need of some refurbishment this will prove an ideal opportunity for a wide variety of buyers including those who may wish to live in one part of Ashley Croft and generate a rental/holiday income from the remainder.

The unspoilt community of Starbotton is set towards the upper reaches of the Wharfe Valley and is surrounded by the dramatic open countryside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A typical Dales community, the village has its own public house whilst a general store is to be found in both the neighbouring villages of Kettlewell and Buckden. More extensive facilities are available approximately five miles distant in the bustling village of Grassington whilst Skipton is the principal market town for the area. Here can be found a comprehensive range of quality shops, supermarkets and recreational amenities together with the highly regarded Ermysted's Grammar and Skipton Girls High Schools. The West Yorkshire and East Lancashire business conurbations are within daily commuting distance.
