Property description
In a stunning canalside setting within an exclusive and peaceful backwater of Skipton, with a lovely open aspect down the canal and across town to the hills beyond. This is a superbly presented townhouse, just a 50 yard walk from the High Street and with secure underground parking for two vehicles.
Bay Horse Court forms a select courtyard development of just seven properties grouped around an attractively maintained cloister and situated just 50 yards from the High Street, yet offering a surprising degree of peace and seclusion. Planned over three floors, the property has a lovely flagged patio area to the front with scope for potted plants, and also benefitting from seating/balcony areas to all three levels, all of which have a delightful outlook across the canal to the open countryside beyond the town. Internally, the accommodation has been planned to maximise on the property's fabulous location, so that the living space is bright and open with French doors opening out onto the rear decked balcony. There are wood grain upvc double glazed windows and doors throughout, as well as a gas fired central heating system from a combination boiler.
