YORKSHIRE DALES HOME FOR SALE IN A RARE RESERVOIR SETTING

A Victorian former reservoir keepers’ house overlooking Winterburn Reservoir in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, is for sale with leading estate agent, Dacre, Son & Hartley.

Waterways Lodge is a three-bedroom home with an annex and is full of period features which are complemented by a generous garden and oversized double garage. The annex provides flexibility for guests, extended family, or home working.

The property enjoys the distinctive and almost romantic style of the Victorian period, when it was built next to Winterburn Reservoir, which is a compensation source for the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

The ground floor has an impressive stone flagged hallway, an inviting living room and a good-sized kitchen diner fitted with solid oak units, a feature fireplace and original stone flooring. There is also a rear hallway, utility room and downstairs shower room.

The original Victorian staircase leads upstairs to the first floor landing, which features exposed beams, and three bedrooms that all enjoy views of the reservoir or surrounding countryside. The home’s attractive family bathroom has heritage fittings including a roll top clawfoot bath.

The annex stands in the grounds of the property and offers a flexible and open-plan space with its own front door, a kitchen, living and sleeping area, as well as a modern shower room.

Outside the driveway provides ample parking and there is a secluded courtyard area and a large lawned, woodland style garden.

Mark Kane, from Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Skipton office, said: “This is a beautiful period home overlooking the reservoir and unspoilt Yorkshire countryside.

“Winterburn has the benefit of being just four miles from Gargrave and approximately seven miles from both Grassington and Skipton, with the latter providing renowned schools, a railway station and a wide range of shops, bars, restaurants and sports clubs.”

Further information about Waterways Lodge, which is for sale with a guide price of £739,950, is available by calling Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Skipton office on 01756 701010 or clicking here.
