walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
Despite its tranquil surroundings, the property is conveniently located just a short drive

a village shop, pub, café, church and primary school. For a broader range of amenities,
the vibrant market towns of Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale are within easy reach, offering
supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants and healthcare services. The popular
village of Ingleton, well known for its waterfalls and caves, is also nearby.
Commuters and travellers are well served by excellent transport links, with Clapham
railway station approximately two miles away, offering direct connections to Leeds and
Lancaster. The A65 provides quick access by road to nearby towns and regional centres.
With the Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales National Park both close at hand,
and a network of scenic footpaths and quiet lanes from the doorstep, this is an

desirable and unspoilt rural locations.
