A VICTORIAN former reservoir keepers’ house is up for sale, offering countryside charm and period features.

Waterways Lodge is located next to Winterburn Reservoir and is on the market with estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley with a price tag of £739,950.

The three-bedroom property includes an annex and an oversized double garage, offering space for guests, extended family, or home working in a tranquil setting.

Mark Kane, from Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Skipton office, said: "This is a beautiful period home overlooking the reservoir and unspoilt Yorkshire countryside.

"Winterburn has the benefit of being just four miles from Gargrave and approximately seven miles from both Grassington and Skipton, with the latter providing renowned schools, a railway station and a wide range of shops, bars, restaurants and sports clubs."

Built in the Victorian era as a reservoir keepers’ house, Waterways Lodge has a stone-flagged hallway, a living room, and a kitchen diner with solid oak units, a feature fireplace, and original stone flooring.

The ground floor also includes a rear hallway, utility room, and shower room.

Upstairs, the original Victorian staircase leads to a landing with exposed beams, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom with heritage fittings, including a roll-top clawfoot bath.

The annex, which sits within the grounds, offers an open-plan kitchen, living, and sleeping area with a modern shower room and its own front door.

Exterior features include a driveway with ample parking, a secluded courtyard, and a large woodland-style garden.

Waterways Lodge is for sale with a guide price of £739,950.
