Yorkshire Dales National Park. The area is well known
for its tourism, farming and fascinating history. It is a
haven for the countryside lover and those who enjoy
outdoor pursuits.The town of Sedbergh is just 6 miles
away set beneath the imposing Howgill Fells. Famous
for its Public School dating back to 1525, there is also a
Prep School, a state Secondary School and a Primary
School. The Lake District is a half hour drive and there
is also sailing on Killinghall Lake. Excellent fishing can
be enjoyed on a number of trout streams in the area,
and there are golf courses at Sedbergh, Casterton,
Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal.

right hand side of the road behind a high wall.
From the East
Take the Leeming Bar junction off the A1(M) and follow
the A684 through Bedale, Leyburn, and Hawes until

THE PROPERTY
Dandra Garth is steeped in history. Originally a manor
house it takes it name from a Norseman. An interesting
coat of arms depicting a Lion Rampant within a boarder
of thistles tells of its former association to James I.
Following a dispute taken to the High Chancel Court
the property was given to four Yoeman farmers of
Garsdale. Probably dating from the early 17th Century
the house is built of stone under a flagged roof
arranged over two storeys with a large full length loft.
Later additions in the 19th Century include a large
extension to the rear of the property. The house faces
south overlooking its own delightful gardens and land,
and is situated close to the enchanting River Clough.
The property is in need of total renovation throughout.
EXTERNALLY
Accessed via a short stone track Dandra Garth is set
back from the road standing behind a high stone wall.
Pleasant gardens with a number of mature trees
surround the house including a walled kitchen garden in
need of restoration.
Stone Barn
At the entrance to the property is a stone barn in
reasonable condition consisting of a tractor shed, store,
with granary steps leading to a second store.
Additional Stone Barn
A second larger coach house and barn may be
available should this be of interest to a prospective
purchaser.
Land
Adjoining the property is a field of permanent pasture
extending to approximately 3 acres, which is bounded
by a good stone wall, a beck to the eastern boundary,
and enjoys a spring fed water supply.
Services
The spring fed water supply is likely to require the
installation of a private filtration system. The property
benefits from mains electricity but will require re-wiring
as part of the renovation. There is currently no drainage
serving the property.
