Syke’s House is situated in the heart of the popular village of Askrigg in Upper Wensleydale.

Askrigg is a picturesque village with its ancient village cross, notable church and cobbled central “green”. It has a primary school, village store, cafe, gift shop and 3 good pubs as well as a number of B&B’s and an excellent community life. The village was made famous by the television series, All Creatures Great & Small in the 1970’s.

Sykes House dates back to the 1650’s and is Grade II listed. The property is well presented, retains character features and has the benefit of a modern oil central heating system.

The ground floor comprises the shop, reception/ office, a modern dining kitchen, utility room and large storeroom on two floors. In addition to this, there is a front room, used for guest breakfast room. In the past, this has run as a tearoom and could easily be reinstated.

The first floor has two superb letting bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities and a guest living room. On the top floor are two good double bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a superb, contemporary living room or 6th bedroom.

Outside, as well as the back store room, there is a further store accessed via external stone stairs. It could be possible to create an independent annex in this area, subject to planning consent. There is a very pleasant, flagged courtyard which is covered for year round use and a back alley giving separate entrance to the street for deliveries and private use.

The business has been run very successfully by the current owners for the last 10 years and shows very healthy accounts. There is plenty of scope to increase the number of letting rooms if the next owner desired.

Viewing is recommended for those wishing to have a business in the Dales and to become an integral part of a thriving community.
