Property Summary

An impressive Grade II listed country property comprising an imposing Grade II listed former tithe barn with planning to create a stunning 5 bedroom principle residence of almost 10,000ft² plus a self contained 3 bedroom annexe cottage. Additional buildings will provide a spacious home office suite and a separate holiday cottage together with a further new build garage/stable block, all standing in about 4.5 acres.

Fabulous rural setting within the Ribble Valley located between the popular market towns of Settle and Skipton.

Location

The property enjoys a pleasant rural position on the edge of the small village of Wigglesworth which has a Post Office and shop and a traditional pub. The busy market town of Settle is just 5 miles to the north offering an excellent range of services including primary and secondary schools, independent shops, a Booths supermarket and a regular street market in the town square. The station at Settle is on the Settle - Carlisle line with regular services connecting to Skipton, Leeds and Bradford. The main A65 is just 3 miles to the east making access by road convenient.

Description

Wigglesworth Hall Barn is accessed from Jacks Lane via a shared drive from which a private bridge takes you over Wigglesworth Beck into the land. Beyond the bridge the approach to the barn is completely private providing all important security and control.

The buildings comprise the principle tithe barn, adjacent to which is a more modern detached brick built farm building, while a short distance to the south is a small stone field barn.

The immediate grounds within which the existing buildings stand extend to approximately 1.75 acres with the adjacent field extending to a further 2.75 acres. The land will broaden the appeal of this property to those with equestrian and hobby farming interest but also offers tremendous potential for landscaping, tree planting and conservation.

A mains electricity supply together with five separate mains water supplies have already been taken to the plot at considerable expense to the current owner.
