Farmhouse with three bedroom barn conversion, near Settle, North Yorkshire
Newly converted stone built barn and 17th century farmhouse on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, near Settle on the Yorkshire / Lancashire borders and with nearby railway station and road links via the A65
17th century farmhouse with adjoining newly converted 19th century barn, lying on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park on the Yorkshire / Lancashire borders. Near Settle, a pretty North Yorkshire market town, the property is in an "area of outstanding natural beauty" conservation area, the Forest of Bowland which is loved by both Royalty and show-biz personalities.
There is further conversion work to be done if you're interested - eg turning the two houses into one, or making an outbuilding into an office.
