Commanding spectacular long distance panoramic southerly views at the rear beyond the Leeds/Liverpool canal, fields and countryside across the Aire Valley towards the hills, this individual three bedroomed end terraced stone cottage is imaginatively planned on four floors, also including the advantages of a small croft, gardens, a private enclosed driveway/parking and an adjoining garage.
With significant further potential, this unique property is now in need of modernisation and improvement although certainly provides a very attractive opportunity. THE PROPERTY IS NOT MORTGAGEABLE IN IT'S CURRENT CONDITION.
With sealed unit double glazing, the property comprises briefly:
An entrance hall, a sitting room, an inner hall and a living room whilst on the lower ground floor is an inner hall, a pantry, a work room, a dining kitchen, an inner hall, a utility/shower room and a side entrance porch. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom. On the second floor is an attic room with a skylight window. There is a small enclosed frontage to Main Street. To the side of the cottage is a private concreted driveway/parking and an adjoining garage. Garden areas extend to the side and rear including trees, bushes and a stone flagged patio - providing a very pleasant secluded sitting out space. There are fine southerly aspects and long distance views at the rear. The rear garden includes a small croft - which extends down towards the Leeds/Liverpool canal.
The very popular village of Farnhill is situated adjacent to the Leeds/Liverpool canal on the south facing side of the Aire Valley. Farnhill shares amenities with the neighbouring village of Kildwick - including a highly regarded primary school, a Church, a public house and community events.
Nearby Cross Hills offers an extensive variety of local everyday shops, amenities and services also including the well respected South Craven Secondary School.
The towns of Skipton, Keighley, Ilkley and Colne are all situated within circa fifteen minutes travelling distance by car whilst the business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance.
Railway stations are available at the neighbouring villages of Cononley and Steeton.
