A unique 6 bedroom converted barn presently split into two self-contained apartments with parking and easily managed gardens centrally located in this idyllic Wharfedale village.

There are attractive mainly paved, easily managed communal gardens and the first floor property has the benefit of balcony with handsome views. There is also a very useful and robustly built workshop/store and excellent facilities.

A typical Dales community, the village has its own public house whilst a general store is to be found in both the neighbouring villages of Kettlewell and Buckden.
