Higher Hague Farm is one of the finest properties to be offered in this part of Craven over recent years. This period property is built of stone, set under a pitch grey slate roof and during our client's occupation the property has been subject to a massive programme of improvement and extension with stunning long range views. Appointments and decoration are to an exceptional standard through the accommodation with many pleasing original features yet up to date services and charming farmhouse kitchen and quality bathrooms. Mains electricity is connected with private water and drainage supply and oil fired central heating as well as recent hardwood double glazing to all of the windows.
A particular feature is the adjoining barn which has been partly converted to form a substantial office. The remainder of which is also eminently suitable for extending the present living accommodation subject to the necessary consents or creating a separate dwelling. There is an excellent array of outbuildings including an oak framed 4-berth detached garage, a very substantial workshop store and a log store, delightful gardens surround the property which abuts open fields on all sides. In front of the house is an area of pasture land extending to approximately six acres and further land is available by separate negotiation.
