3 bedroom character property for sale

Offered to the open market for the first time in its history, this former Vicarage occupies a prominent position beside Holy Trinity Church in the centre of Cowling. Acquired from the church and held in the same ownership for more than seventy years, the property has been well maintained throughout that period but would now benefit from thoughtful internal updating and improvement, subject to the relevant listed building consents. It is a Grade II listed building of stone construction, semi-detached, and with the right of access to the adjoining former church hall. The frontage, mullioned windows and other original details give the property notable presence and character.



The accommodation is arranged to provide practical living space with generous proportions. A spacious dining room with feature fireplace forms the central reception room, from which access is gained to a dual aspect lounge. The dining room also leads through to an under-stairs store and to the large dining kitchen. Beyond the kitchen there is a useful utility store and an internal porch with a side door giving access to the garden.



At first floor level, an open landing serves two double bedrooms overlooking the churchyard, together with a well-proportioned third bedroom and a four-piece family bathroom.



Externally, the property is approached across a cobbled and flagged frontage. An adjoining single garage provides secure parking or potential for alternative use, supported by an additional store and workshop. To the rear, the garden is elevated and south-east facing, laid out with flagged areas, established shrubs and planting, and benefitting from pleasant outlooks across the village and towards the surrounding countryside.



Cowling is a well-connected village situated between Skipton and Colne, providing a range of local amenities including a primary school, village store and regular bus services. The location is convenient for access to the Aire Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and Lancashire, while retaining the sense of a traditional village community.



According to Ofcom, the property is served by both standard and ultrafast broadband, with speeds of up to 1800Mbps download and 220Mbps upload available (subject to provider and subscription). The property is also connected to mains utilities, including gas, electricity, water and drainage.
