West Scarr, - Garsdale

This beautifully renovated Yorkshire Dales farmhouse is set on the South facing side of the Garsdale valley set high up from the road connecting the Lake District M6 junction 37 through to the A1 at Bedale. With special views across and down the valley, West Scar is surely the place for those who are looking for a ready to move into quality home with relatively good access to the road network whilst enjoying a neighbourless setting. (You can see other farms and homes across the valley). An adaptable interior layout could offer a self contained one bedroomed unit with the addition of just a kitchen and yet it's present use of one bedroom as a fully functioning office with 3 further bedrooms is a beautifuul place to live and work. You really must view the inside of this quality property once you understand and appreciate its location.
