About
Steeped in character, history and individuality, The Old Police Station presents a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive period home in the heart of Barnoldswick.
Formerly the local police station until its decommissioning in the late 1970s, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a substantial and versatile family home, while retaining fascinating reminders of its former life.
From the original exercise yard, now enclosed to create a private courtyard, two former holding cells which now form bedroom three and a shower room, the property's unique heritage can be seen throughout.
Offering three reception rooms, three bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, shower room and generous family bathroom, together with gardens, courtyard and private on-street parking, this is a home full of charm, versatility and stories waiting to be discovered.
LOCATION Barnoldswick is a charming and characterful market town set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, surrounded by beautiful countryside and rolling Pennine landscapes.
Steeped in history, the town offers a welcoming community atmosphere alongside a good range of independent shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and everyday amenities.
The Leeds & Liverpool Canal provides picturesque waterside walks, while the surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
With good road and public transport links, Barnoldswick is well placed for accessing neighbouring towns and cities, while the popular market town of Skipton is just a short drive away, providing an extensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities.
Combining countryside living with convenient local amenities, Barnoldswick is an appealing location for those seeking a well-connected town with plenty of character.
