A property in the Yorkshire Dales with no mains electricity and no access by road has had its price reduced by £50,000.
The home has been on the market since summer last year and was originally listed for £300,000, but has seen its price drop down to £250,000 after struggling to sell. According to estate agents Fisher Hopper, the house is an "exciting renovation project" located in a "stunningly beautiful location".
Located on the main hiking path up Whernside, 3 Bleamoor Cottages used to be a railway worker's house across from the Settle to Carlisle route by Ribblehead.
There is no vehicular access and anyone interested in viewing or living in the house must park at Ribblehead Viaduct before walking up the path for 20 minutes, reports Yorkshire Live.
Whernside is also one of the Three Peaks, meaning there is plenty of traffic passing by the house and according to the estate agents, it could be the perfect site for a bunkhouse or refreshment stop on the route, as well as a home.
However, the building is currently in a poor condition and requires lots of work to bring it up to standard. Interior photos show exposed brickwork and peeling wallpaper as well as broken tiling and signs of damp.
There is also a lack of utilities in the house, the previous owners had a windmill and a generator to power the property, while Calor Gas was used for cooking and a septic tank was also put in place. Alongside these arrangements, water was transported via a trailer.
Despite all this, the stunning location of the home is plain for all to see. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, the view is second-to-none.
It's also a good spot for train enthusiasts and is located right next to the Blea Moor signal box, which is the most isolated signal box still operated by Network Rail. Fisher Hopper say "there is great potential here" for the "right buyer with vision"
