Welcome to WILLOW TREE Eldroth, LA2 8AH Standing at the head of the farmstead approached over a 0.3 mile drive over open fields the house enjoys a large garden with good views. There's great potential to refurbish and remodel the current layout, indeed initial plans have already been drawn up as an indication of what might be possible. There are some lovely period features, most notably the slate flagged floor in the kitchen (some of the flags are huge!), period fire surround in the sitting room, window shutters, attractive fenestration design (including a tall staircase window), ceiling beams and a period staircase. You might be interested to learn that the large first floor store room is known as the "moon room" as the previous occupant was a professional astronomer and reportedly entertained Patrick Moore here. Outside there is plenty of space for a garage (subject to consent), good parking provision and a small outbuilding. The enclosed and private rear garden is gently sloping with a wooded area, a monkey puzzle tree and an abundance of spring bulbs. In all, c. 0.76 acre (0.31 hectares).

The area is exceptionally popular for walkers, cyclists and cavers with the Three Peaks (Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside) and White Scar Caves all close by. The area is well served with state primary and secondary schools, with independent schools at Giggleswick and Sedbergh.
