PROPERTY
Tarn House is an impressive property with its origins lying in the
shooting lodge built by Thomas Lister originally as a summer house in 1780. North Wing and High Stables which both lie to the north were additions in the early 1800’s. Previously tenanted and used as offices and accommodation by the Field Studies Council, the property is available with full vacant possession.

This property is constructed from dressed sandstone beneath a grey slate roof and consists of a ground floor, first floor, cellar and loft. With extensive accommodation, the property is well suited to alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

North Wing is located across a courtyard from Tarn House and currently comprises office space and extensive accommodation. Orchid House lies just behind North Wing and offers further work space. High Stables is to the north of the main property, formerly used as accommodation with thirteen bedrooms, bathrooms and multiple stores. Sandhills Cottage lies to the west and comprises kitchen, living room and 3 bedrooms with its own garden and outbuildings.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
The properties are situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park which covers over 530,000 acres offering extensive walking and cycling routes. Nearby are the popular Malham Cove and Gordale Scar hiking and sightseeing attractions.

Extensive networks of local trails are easily accessible including the Pennine Way, which is a national trail of 268 miles connecting the Peak District, via the Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland, to the Scottish borders. The Pennine Way passes between the properties at Malham Tarn.

The Malham Tarn Properties are at the heart of an area rich in landscape, natural, historical and geological interest. Tarn Moss National Nature Reserve is situated less than half a mile away.

Malham Tarn itself is England’s highest alkaline lake with fishing on the Tarn available by arrangement with the Friends of Malham Tarn.
