Full Details for 2 Bedroom Detached for sale in Skipton, BD23 :

A superb duplex property, tucked away in a quiet backwater of Gargrave village, offering two bedroom smartly presented accommodation with large garaging facilities, attractive gardens and lovely views across the village to the moors beyond

St. Andrews Court is believed to be a former Parochial Hall dating back some 230 years, provided for the village by the Wilson family of Eshton Hall; more recently used as a reading room before being converted in 1982.   Since then, the properties have been combined so that there are now just two fabulous duplex homes in the building, each of which benefits from large double tandem garaging facilities on the ground floor which are accessed by remote control doors. The building is tucked away in a quiet backwater of the village, and handy for all central village amenities, and must be seen as an ideal choice for anyone wanting a "lock up and leave" property that still offers space, charm and individuality. To the rear there is a lovely garden area which both properties share and has been landscaped in an interesting design with water feature, paved patio, mosaic tiled area and plants/shrubs.

Designated as a Conservation Area, Gargrave is a particularly popular choice as a place to live. Not only is it almost entirely on the level, but it also has the Pennine Way as well as the River Aire and Leeds-Liverpool Canal running through it with pretty towpath walks and three village greens around the river bank. Within the village there is a good range of local shops including a supermarket and garden nursery, as three public houses, restaurant, primary school, church and a village hall which is the hub of activities for this thriving community. In addition Gargrave has its own railway station where there are services to the north (Settle and Carlisle) and to the south (Skipton linking through to Bradford, Leeds and London Kings Cross).

Offering gas fired central heating from a boiler installed in 2009, the property comprises in brief:-
