Low Hill Farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to restore a traditional stone property in an idyllic Yorkshire Dales National Park setting.
Surrounded by dry stone walls and the land currently carpeted with snowdrops, Low Hill Farmhouse, close to the village of Chapel-le-Dale is a traditional four-bedroomed detached stone-built property in need of restoration and refurbishment.
Being sold by private auction by H&H Land & Estates, this exceptional property offers the much sought-after opportunity to transform a rural Yorkshire Dales farmhouse into a luxury bolthole or family home.
Surrounding the house is 0.65 acres of garden, mature woodland and paddock grazing.
There are a number of stone and slate-roofed outbuildings and a garage adjoining the house, with the added potential of extending the accommodation pending the necessary permissions.
Low Hill Farmhouse is to be sold by Public Auction at Ingleborough Community Centre, Ingleton, LA6 3HG, on Friday 19th April at 2.30pm, with a Guide Price of £400,000 - £450,000
With more and more people looking for rural properties where they can make their own mark and work from home in an idyllic rural environment, H&H Land & Estates Associate Director, Rachel Bagshaw expects Low Hill Farmhouse to attract overwhelming interest. “Traditional properties requiring restoration like this, in such a beautiful and private Dales location are becoming increasingly rare, and it is even more difficult to find opportunities on this scale and with this potential. Low Hill Farmhouse will make a wonderful retreat from the stresses of modern life, a fantastic base for exploring the Dales countryside, and a great investment with holiday letting potential.”
Already connected to mains water and electricity services, Low Hill farmhouse is located on the outskirts of the village of Chapel-le-Dale, five miles from Ingleton and 11 miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. It is accessed by a shared private track and stands in a secluded but commanding position with spectacular views across the Pennine countryside to Ingleborough and the valley below.
The current ground floor accommodation leads from a porch and hallway into two generous reception rooms, large kitchen and pantry, and a separate second hallway leading to a cellar. The first floor is divided into four bedrooms, predominantly with sash windows and window seats, and a family bathroom, and a boarded and beamed attic above offers huge potential for development, with power already in place.
Adjoining the farmhouse, the property includes a stone-built lean-to single garage under an asbestos cement roof with concrete floor, power and lighting, and a detached stone-built and slate-roofed outbuilding divided into three separate workshop and storage spaces.
