Description
Requiring a first hand inspection in order to appreciate the extremely high standard of accommodation on offer, being meticulously presented in immaculate condition throughout, this outstanding individual character home includes a delightful living room with solid fuel stove leading to an impressive re-fitted and extended dining kitchen equipped with excellent range of fitted units incorporating integrated appliances, a royal blue Esse range cooker, a Belfast sink and patio doors leading out from a dining area onto the attractive courtyard style garden. The basement has been significantly improved to provide an extremely well presented utility/store room with lighting and power, perhaps even offering further potential to use as a home office/hobby room with space for a desk/workstation if required. The first floor is equally well presented including two well planned bedrooms and a stylish re-fitted shower room with quality suite and tiling. The accommodation has been predominantly re-wired as necessary and has also been redecorated in a soft and neutral colour scheme which contrasts perfectly with the darker exposed floorboards and other interior features such as the stylish black window latches.
Externally there is a traditional stone flagged frontage with original decorative railings and colourful planted border whilst the rear garden has been fully re-landscaped to create a particularly attractive walled courtyard style garden being planned for ease of maintenance in a formal style and including a useful timber garden shed.
On the route of the River Aire and the Leeds/Liverpool canal, the popular and highly sought after village of Gargrave is surrounded by beautiful open countryside and is only circa four miles away from the historic market town of Skipton. The village offers a variety of everyday shops and other amenities including a Co-operative Food grocery store, a village hall, a well regarded primary school and nursery, a church, a railway station and a good selection of venues to eat and drink. The village is blessed with many delightful walks, including scenic level routes along both the river and the canal towpath.
The historic market town of Skipton known as 'The Gateway to the Dales' is only circa four miles away, providing extensive shopping and recreational facilities together with excellent secondary schooling. The scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park is easily accessed to the north whilst the business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are also within comfortable daily commuting distance.
Certainly having much to commend it, the accommodation comprises in further detail:

- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
