Ashcroft, Newby, Near Clapham – A Rare Opportunity in a Private Village Setting
Nestled on the edge of the peaceful village of Newby, close to Clapham in North Yorkshire, Ashcroft is a substantial, detached bungalow dating back to the 1960's. Constructed from attractive sandstone and set in a generous south-facing plot, the property enjoys an enchanting garden with a stream running through it, mature trees (including a striking acer), and established planting throughout.
Offering spacious and versatile accommodation, the bungalow comprises three good-sized bedrooms, two separate reception rooms, and a kitchen and bathroom that are functional but would benefit from modernisation—presenting an ideal opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a home.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating with mainly double-glazed windows. Outside, there's a private driveway with ample parking for four vehicles, as well as a car port.
With a quiet, private position and views towards the Forest of Bowland, Ashcroft combines peaceful rural living with genuine potential. Whether you're looking to modernise, extend, or simply enjoy the existing charm, this is a home with rare scope in a sought-after village location.
