Farmhouse Description

Cowber Farm offers a traditional and character smallholding in North Yorkshire, comprising a stone-built 3-bedroom farmhouse, adjoining 3-bay agricultural barn and surrounding 15 acres of agricultural land. The farmhouse is habitable and has recently been tenanted by a long-term occupant. The property is in good order throughout and retains plentiful amounts of original features, including recently fitted central heating system. Adjoining the farmhouse is a stone-built agricultural barn in good condition, giving good opportunity for extension of the living accommodation or separate dwelling subject to local planning approval. Cowber Farm has a great private setting positioned at the end of a short private lane away from the public highway. Located on the outskirts of the village of Long Preston and the more major amenity friendly market towns of Settle and Skipton, access to major transport networks, supermarkets, schools and healthcare facilities are on hand.
