The Old Sawmill & Annexe, Rathmell, Settle, North Yorkshire, BD24

A wonderful opportunity to purchase a unique three/four bedroom barn conversion plus one bedroom detached annexe. This impressive site is beautifully tucked away and surrounded by open countryside and glorious views at the end of a quiet cul de sac. Internal viewing is a must to appreciate the size and setting.

Mill Barn and Willow Croft form 2 The Old Sawmill which occupies a quiet location in the desirable village of Rathmell, but only a 10 minute drive to the bustling market town of Settle. The properties are very private surrounded by open countryside. Mill Barn offers spacious three bedroom accommodation with Willow Croft happily occupied by an elderly parent for nearly a decade and subsequently run as a successful air BnB. The site has off street parking, garage and gardens to side and rear. We feel the site will be of particular interest to families looking for a home in the area that require a self contained annexe for a family member, or are after a home that can also give them an additional source of income as a holiday let. There is also potential to create a larger family home by connecting a roof or glass atrium between the garage and the unfinished extension (subject to planning). These options make the property extremely flexible.

The main property briefly comprises, entrance vestibule, wc, dining room, breakfast kitchen with fitted kitchen units and integrated appliances, living room with multi fuel stove, conservatory, house bathroom, three double bedrooms, and dressing room/potential fourth bedroom with connecting door to master bedroom. The property was extended in 2009 resulting in the downstairs being greatly increased by the addition of the entrance vestibule, downstairs WC and the sun-filled dining room.

In 2014 the garage and annexe were built. The annexe briefly comprises; modern kitchen opens into living area with electric wall mounted fire, contemporary bathroom with shower over bath and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

In 2021 a further extension was added to the main house, including skylights, water, drainage, electrics and plumbing, with a plan to create an ensuite bathroom and utility room. This part of the extension remains unfinished, so offering a range of options to the new owners.

The site offers a wonderful mix of old and new - the original barn was built in 1600 to store grain- now blended with contemporary features in both the annexe and main house.

Externally to the front of the property is a parking area for approximately four vehicles, with a drive access to the garage and gateway to the rear garden. The private rear garden has a large patio area, and a good-sized lawn with impressive views of open countryside. To the side of the property are steps leading down to the lower garden area by a stream with a timber decked area.

The village of Rathmell which is set amidst lovely Dales countryside has its own village hall and church. The market town of Settle is approximately 3 miles away and offers a varied range of amenities including a bustling market square with a 'Tuesday' market, railway station on the famous Settle to Carlisle line, schools including primary, high school and public school in the neighbouring village of Giggleswick.
