Clock Tower Cottage, 15 Eshton Hall, Eshton, Skipton, BD23

A spacious well appointed two bedroom cottage within this magnificent Grade II listed country house located on the outskirts of Gargrave at the Gateway the Yorkshire Dales. NO ONWARD CHAIN

Eshton Hall is a sympathetic conversion of a Grade II* listed country home into a small number of luxury apartments and cottages. The Hall is a most impressive building with fine stonework and ornamental features. The Clock Tower Cottage is especially attractive in our opinion with its entrance through a fine arch beneath the impressive Clock Tower.

The Clock Tower has the benefit of its own personal garden. The view from the sitting room to the front is over countryside and is located on the first floor along with the kitchen diner area. The ground floor, and access level has two bedrooms and a bathroom. From the house there is also an outlook at the rear over the enclosed court yard with a separate external store and there are two allocated parking spaces. In addition the Hall includes beautifully landscaped communal grounds, a very private and secure environment with electronically operated entrance gate. The Hall adjoins open fields extending down to a picturesque water course.

Eshton Hall is one of the most commanding country houses in the area, dating back to 1186. Once the home of the Wilson family, one of whom was a local MP and celebrated by his statue outside Skipton library. The historic house was used as a boarding school, relocated from Scarborough during WW2 and then converted into 18 apartments and mews houses between 2003 and 2005 and has been finished to a very high standard, retaining and enhancing some of the beautiful period features, a property of this stature enjoys.
