An exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase a detached residence standing in under half an acre of well manicured private gardens, situated in the highly desirable and prestigious Yorkshire Dales National Park hamlet of Eastby near Embsay only circa three miles away from the historic market town of Skipton.

Individually constructed in the late 1940's to the highest of specifications in that period, High Prior offers stunning long distance picturesque views, a detached garage, substantial driveway parking, and deceptively generous accommodation including two additional spacious attic bedrooms, that could easily form part of a first floor should the property ever be reconfigured with a fitted staircase in the future.

Fitted with UPVC sealed unit double glazing, quality fittings and fixtures, and gas central heating throughout, this property comprises very briefly:

A reception hall. A living room with attractive bay window, open through to a dining area. A kitchen. Two well planned double bedrooms. Shower room providing a three piece suite. There is a pull down loft ladder leading to a small landing with fitted cupboards. Two additional attic bedrooms suitable for double bed furniture. The house stands in generous established landscaped gardens enjoying a pleasant degree of privacy whilst commanding views at the front and rear across countryside towards the hills. There is also a substantial private driveway providing generous parking facilities for several vehicles whilst giving access to a detached garage with power.

Ideally positioned only circa three miles away from the incredibly popular market town of Skipton with its wide range of amenities, the property enjoys a picturesque setting within the exclusive rural hamlet of Eastby which shares a range of amenities with the adjoining village of Embsay including a well respected primary school and nursery, a Church, a village store/sub post office, two public houses, a village hall, sports clubs, a bus service and Embsay to Bolton Abbey Heritage steam railway line holding regular special events.

The nearby historic market town of Skipton known as the 'Gateway to the Dales' provides an extensive further range of shops, pubs and other amenities including highly regarded secondary schooling and a railway station with daily services to Leeds, Bradford and London's Kings Cross. Further well respected secondary schooling is available at Upper Wharfedale in the village of Threshfield to the North whilst the popular tourist hotspots of Bolton Abbey, Burnsall and Appletreewick are only a short ten to fifteen minutes drive away over the scenic Barden Moor to the east.

The business centres of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire are within comfortable daily commuting distance whilst the popular spa town of Ilkley is less than a half hour's drive away.
