Walton House is a spacious, characterful house set in the sought after village of Askrigg in Upper Wensleydale.
Askrigg is a picturesque village with its ancient market cross, notable church and cobbled central "green". It has a primary school, good general store, cafe, delicatessen, gift shop as well as 3 good pubs, a number of B&B's and an excellent community life. It is famous for its Herriot connections, being the village where the series All Creatures Great & Small was filmed and recently home to a new and upcoming Netflix film, Highwire.
The house is a typical Georgian property and boasts a wealth of original character features including high ceilings, large windows and beautiful turned staircase. Walton House is believed to have been a pub, 'The Station Inn' and has the original (much improved) beer cellar.
The property has recently been modernised to an exceptionally high standard. Works have been carried out by local tradesmen, works include a new kitchen, upgrades to the electrics, new central heating system, new shower room and the cellar has been converted in to a home office.
The accommodation is spacious, on the ground floor is a large living room, modern family kitchen diner, and cloakroom to the rear. Downstairs, the cellar has been converted and has created a lovely home office/ hobby room. Upstairs are three, generous double bedrooms and a newly installed house bathroom. There is large loft space which could be converted (subject to planning permissions) if required.
Externally, to the front of the property, there is a stone flagged parking space for 2 vehicles. Access to the rear of the property is via the gravelled driveway to the side of the house. This leads to the rear garage, which provides further parking. This driveway is also access for the neighbouring properties.
