The ground floor also houses a handy cloakroom with W.C. and pedestal sink with complementary part-tiled walls is found on the left, next to a great store room, currently used as an office for those who work from home.
Follow the stairs to the first floor where you will find the first of the four double bedrooms; bedroom one is an attractive master suite with full length wardrobe and dual aspect windows, enjoying a large front aspect bay window with views stretching beyond to Ingleborough, allowing light to flow throughout this generous double room. An attractive four piece en suite comprises a bath with hand held attachment, corner shower, vanity sink unit and W.C. with heated ladder towel radiator.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- 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).
