Welcome to 9 Albert Hill, Settle, North Yorkshire.
In the process of renovation, a rare opportunity to purchase a home that has been cherished for over 50 years.
Perched on the edge of Sugar Loaf Hill, right on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in Upper Settle, (the property's front wall is at the edge), and within a private enclave of just three bungalows, this beautifully appointed three-bedroom home offers a rare blend of privacy, elegance, and natural beauty.
It enjoys fabulous panoramic views across the market town of Settle, the Ribble Valley and the Trough of Bowland, and northward.
The grounds total over 500m2 with the bungalow enjoying just over 100m2 of single level living space.
Entering the bungalow from the back door, your eyes immediately capture fabulous views out of the windows along the front of the home.
Step forward onto 34m2 of terrace (nearly 14m long), which overlooks rockeries and a 25m-long hedge that provides privacy and shelter along the front of the grounds. The main garden is to the front and two sides.
The spacious and luminous interior is thoughtfully designed, featuring a welcoming hallway with laminate floor, a spacious living-dining room ideal for entertaining, a dedicated music room for a creative retreat, and a spacious kitchen with dining area, and bathroom, all with wonderful views. In addition, the three bedrooms include two doubles, and a small but airy bathroom looks cross towards Giggleswick. Other natural materials such as Panga Panga hardwood floors and cedar ceilings are featured. Laundry.
Gas central heating and hot water.
Outdoor spaces
The property’s hillside setting is complemented by original dry stone features, and a 5.8m x 3.12m garage which could be converted into a summer house, adjacent to manageable lawns of around 16m2.
Some of the external areas — including sections of walling, steps, and the terrace — have been left for the next owner to complete or redesign to their own preference. The existing stone on site offers scope for restoration or creative landscaping.
Ideal for those seeking a lifestyle upgrade, a retirement haven, or a family home.
Council tax band E.
