Property Description
East Clint is located at the end of its own privately owned drive in a truly stunning location, with breathtaking views of Dentdale. This historic detached four-bedroom property is Grade II listed with many fine 18th-century features. A building of special architectural and historic interest, the main part of the ground floor structure may date back further, with potential origins as a long house.
With spacious accommodation, and planning permission granted for extensions, plenty of parking, a large period barn with planning permission to convert, and generous established grounds, East Clint is the perfect family home or countryside retreat for those seeking peace and quiet in a spectacular part of the Yorkshire Dales. Available with no onward chain, viewing is essential to appreciate this unique and welcoming rural property.
The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises: front entrance porch; inner hall; large and inviting living room with beams and multi-fuel stove; spacious dining room, also with a multi-fuel stove; good-sized kitchen; useful side porch; ground floor bathroom; and rear hall with period staircase rising to the first floor.
On the first floor, the landing area provides access to the shower room, with a stunning flagstone floor, and the extremely spacious Bedroom One. An inner hallway provides access to Bedrooms Two and Four, with a door connecting Bedroom Four to Bedroom Three.
Period features include beams, stonework, flagstones, exposed floorboards, latchkey internal doors, deep sills, window seats, and a salt/wig box dated 1727 in the dining room.
The planning permission allows for the creation of a fantastic sunroom benefitting from views down the valley, and the creation of a new utility / boot room and plant room.
East Clint has mains electricity and LPG gas central heating. Drainage is via a soakaway located in the gardens to the rear of the barn. The property has its own private water supply from Whernside Tarns, with a retention tank and filter located on the boundary of the field to the rear, and an ultraviolet filter installed in the ground floor bathroom. B4RN high-speed internet is connected.
Outside, East Clint is located on the daleside, beneath Whernside, the highest of the Yorkshire Dales' three peaks. The established grounds comprise lawns, mature trees, and shrubs. An attractive paved driveway sweeps around from the barn parking area to further parking closer to the house. The driveway down to the public road is privately owned by East Clint, with a beck running to one side. Access to the lane is gated. The popular Dales Way walking route runs behind the property, providing access to a network of public paths through the dale and up onto the open access land on Whernside. The popular Sportsman Inn at Cowgill can be reached on foot via the Dales Way path.
The stone-built period barn comprises a large central traditional barn with a partitioned workshop incorporating the old stalls and additional store. To the front aspect, there is a useful workshop, which would be equally suitable as an art studio or office, along with a coal store. To the rear, there is a wood store and former external WC. The barn has planning permission to be converted into a four-bedroom property, suitable as either a holiday home or a local occupancy restricted main residence.
