DESCRIPTION & GENERAL REMARKS
The sale of Monksdale House offers the opportunity to purchase a detached property, situated in a stunning rural yet convenient position, which has in recent years been the subject of much work and now requires internal decoration and fittings to complete the property, which allows any purchaser to put their own stamp on the property.

The works carried out have been extensive and include; new roof to lean-to and main roof overhauled, new hardwood front door and sash windows, new gritstone heads and sills, new cast iron gutters and downpipes, the house has been re-pointed, chimneys rebuilt, LPG tank installed and connected, central heating installed and the loft insulated.
