offers superb family living and a high quality of life.
Description Lot 1
Metcalfe's farm is a traditional dales village house built of part
rendered stone with a stone slate roof. The property is in need of
complete modernisation and refurbishment and when complete will provide a
charming family home.
Inside the property has two double and one single bedroom, two reception
rooms, kitchen, larder and pantry.
There is a terrace garden
to the rear. Lot 2
This comprises the northern half of the garth that formerly went with the
property and extends to some 580 square metres. It includes a double
garage (end to end), barn and lean-to coal and stick sheds.

for conversion. The application can be viewed at the Yorkshire Dales
National Park office or on their website at:
