Ways run close by, and the Pennine Way with

to the wonderful, galleried living

room, which extends the full width

of the building.

and huge arched windows, in the

front giving magnificent views over

the farmland and valley, and on the

other, the cobbled yard and two

traditional stone cattle troughs.

E X T E R N A L SGROUNDS AND LAND

The land could alternatively be used for grazing cattle, sheep or

horses, or for any other agricultural purpose.

The fields are marked by original dry stone walls (many recently

repaired) or post and rail, or post and wire fences, with wooden

gates erected in the last few years by the present owners.

ENTRANCE

The entrance at the top of Scrapers Lane is through a gate and

over a short rise which reveals the staggering view. A 100m

gravel drive leads from the gate to a car park for at least 6 cars,

guarded by an impressive sycamore tree. From here a hedge-

lined path leads to the cobbled yard at the rear of the house.

The yard features two original and traditional stone cattle

troughs, both recently renovated, and the storage tank for the

household water supply. Stone steps lead up to the rear fields.

AGRICULTURAL BUILDING AND GARAGE

Beside the cobbled yard is a large building of Yorkshire boarding

on a concrete base. This is currently used for machinery and

tool storage, but also lends itself to use as a garage or stable.
