DESCRIPTIONDating back to the early 18th Century, Mearbeck is a  property full of character and potential.
The property comprises a four bedroom traditional stone built house with an attached one/two bedroom annexe.
To the front of the property there is an attractive lawned garden with a south facing aspect enclosed by a stone wall and to the rear a raised garden area with far reaching views.
The property has been in the same family since 1890 and has therefore never been on the open market for over 130 years. The property now requires full modernisation and offers the opportunity to create a wonderful family home. The annex allows for multi-generational living or the opportunity for income producing subject to any necessary contents. The property offers a wonderful opportunity and viewing to appreciate the full potential is recommended.
LOCATIONSituated on a private estate off the A65 between Long Preston and Settle, within the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park, the property has far reaching views, enjoying a private location yet conveniently located for access for road and rail links. The nearby village of Long Preston has a strong local             community, a village hall, primary school, general store, church, public house, railway station with    services to Leeds and Carlisle.  The market town of  Settle is approximately three miles away with a wide range of shops and schools catering for all age groups.  Skipton, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales” is approximately fourteen miles away and offers a choice of supermarkets and wider range of schools.
TENUREThe property is held freehold and vacant possession will be granted upon completion.
