Description
Guide Price £190,000–£210,000. Waters Edge is a spacious and characterful top floor apartment set within a converted former water corn mill in the sought-after Dales village of West Burton. The building has been thoughtfully converted to retain its original charm, with features such as exposed stonework and beams, while providing comfortable modern living.
West Burton is one of the most sought-after villages in Wensleydale with its beautiful, protected village green, waterfalls and superb views to the hills and Dales. It has an active community, retaining a primary school, village hall, shop and tearoom, butchers and small businesses, and the iconic village pub sits only around 300 yards from the Mill. The market towns of Hawes and Leyburn are approximately 8 miles away in either direction.
Waters Edge offers generous accommodation, with a large open-plan living and kitchen area featuring dual-aspect windows that look out onto the beautiful river and waterfall. This is complemented by a spacious double bedroom and a well-fitted modern bathroom, with ample built-in storage provided throughout.
The property includes the loft space, which is boarded with a window on either side and presently utilised for storage. Subject to the appropriate permissions, the area could offer future potential.
There is allocated parking as well as free parking opposite the building opposite the stream.
Currently a thriving holiday let, it also offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a home in the heart of the Dales, either as a permanent residence, second home, or to continue its proven success as a holiday cottage. Fishing is permitted for Mill residents if a licence is obtained from Leyburn.
