LOCATION

The property is located on the main street in the

popular village of Embsay, less than two miles

from the market town of Skipton.

The village of Embsay is well served by a variety

of local amenities including primary school,

church, public houses and a general store/sub

post office. The nearby market town of Skipton

offers a wide range of shopping, dining,

recreational and other facilities including the

renowned boys’ Grammar School and girls’ High

School.

Located in such close proximity to Skipton, the

business centres of West Yorkshire and East

Lancashire and Skipton railway station has a

direct route to London Kings Cross.

For those seeking a second home or holiday

cottage, the property is ideally situated being

literally on the southern edge of the Yorkshire

Dales National Park.

DESCRIPTION

The property is a traditionally constructed mid

terraced house which has been extended on the

ground floor and has an open aspect to the rear

and overlooks the village park to the front.

The property is fully double glazed and gas

centrally heated by a combination boiler and

there are many interesting and attractive

features to tempt a range of purchasers.

The property has most recently been a successful

let and with some basic refurbishment could

easily continue in the same vein.

ACCOMMODATION

On the Ground Floor:

Entrance Porch: A useful area with terracotta

tiled floor and coat hooks leading to:

Living Room: A light and airy open plan room

with beamed ceiling and deep splayed window.

Although open plan there are two distinct

areas, the front area being the main Living

Room including attractive gas imitation solid

fuel fire with useful cupboards to the side. To

the rear of the room is a more formal sitting

area with door leading to:

Dining Area: Located just off the Kitchen, this

practical area is currently laid out for formal

dining but lends itself to a variety of uses. In

one corner there is a cupboard with louvre

fronted doors housing the central heating boiler

and at the opposite end of the room a door

leads to:

Bathroom: Comprising corner bath, pedestal

wash hand basin and toilet as well as a shower

over the bath. The walls are partially tiled and

partially cladded wooden boarding to give this

practical room a cosy feel.

Kitchen: Accessed up steps from the Dining

Area, this fitted Kitchen has a good range of

wood fronted wall and floor units with a grey

work top and green and beige tiled floor. The

rear door leads to the yard and the window

offers fine views of Embsay Crag. There is an

Electrolux oven and gas hob fitted.

On the First Floor:

Landing: A practical link to upstairs with two

useful cupboards, one being created out of the

former link to the adjoining property. There is

also an access hatch to the roof void.

Bedroom 1: A spacious double Bedroom

situated to the front of the house with double

glazed window overlooking the village park and

having the added benefit of a useful wardrobe

created from the over stair recess.

Bedroom 2: Situated to the rear of the property

with magnificent views towards Embsay Crag.

This unusually shaped room has a recessed

alcove with exposed wooden beam as well as

built-in cupboards and dressing table.

Study: At a push this room could incorporate a

child’s bed or cot but seems best served laid out

as a Study with built-in book shelves and desk

bathed in natural light from the windows to the

rear and side. Equally, the incorporation of one

of the Landing cupboards would allow this room

to be converted to an upstairs Shower Room

which, in turn, could lead to a full width Dining

Kitchen to the ground floor.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property a stone flagged path

leads to the front door whilst the garden area has

been pebbled for ease of maintenance and is

filled with a number of semi-mature plants and

shrubs.

yard with timber shed and steps leading to a

raised grass garden area and planted borders

with uninterrupted views towards Embsay Crag.

All main services are connected and the

property benefits from a gas fired hot water

and central heating boiler system fired by a

Worcester Greenstar HE combination boiler

effect gas fire located in the Living Room.
