MSW Hewetsons

The property has been transformed both inside and out whilst still retaining its inherent character features such as mullioned windows with deep sills and exposed beams, complimented by internal latched doors.

Formerly a farmhouse and barn, two staircases are still in place to give good first floor access.

Outside, the gardens abut a croft, ideal for grazing a small pony, and the outbuildings include a garage and adjacent workshop which could serve as stabling.

Shawclough Farm is situated on Skipton Old Road which runs across the moors between Carleton and Colne. The surrounding countryside is nothing short of breathtaking and from its elevated position and facing in a Southerly direction, Shawclough Farm takes full advantage. The property is located eight miles from Skipton and four miles from Colne, with the M65 motorway being around fifteen minutes drive away which gives excellent access to the central motorway system. For anyone commuting to work in either West Yorkshire or East Lancashire, Shawclough Farm is a great choice of home.

With the benefit of oil fired central heating and double glazed windows, the property exudes charm and character throughout with a feeling of space and light.
