NEW - A rare and fabulous opportunity to purchase three beautifully presented properties in the highly regarded village of Healey, set in the heart of this area of outstanding natural beauty and located just a few miles from Masham.
Positioned on the southern fringe of Wensleydale and nestled in the heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Nidderdale National Landscape (formely ANOB) the village of Healey offers a wonderfully peaceful rural setting close to surrounding towns and amenities. Characterised by open farmland, sweeping valley views and quiet country lanes, Healey is an appealing location for those seeking a slower pace of life without feeling isolated. There is an abundance of walking and cycling routes extending directly from the village, and into the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Healey benefits from excellent access to nearby market towns. Ripon, with its historic cathedral, independent shops, cafés and weekly market, lies just 12 miles away and provides a wide range of everyday amenities, including supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and restaurants. The popular market town of Masham is only 3 miles away with its artisan shops, pubs and well-known breweries. Swinton Spa and Country Club is 3 miles away and The Black Swan pub is just over a mile away in Fearby.
For families, the area is well served by a selection of respected primary and secondary schools, while commuters benefit from convenient road links connecting to the wider region, including Harrogate, Bedale and the A1(M),
The properties face due south benefitting from stunning valley views and have been comprehensively improved and updated, retaining much of their original character while offering a high standard of modern comfort throughout. Together, the properties provide generous and highly flexible accommodation, with the added benefit of an established and proven holiday letting income.
THE PROPERTIES
Healey Mill is a Grade II listed converted former corn mill, presented in excellent condition throughout and offering generous and versatile accommodation arranged over four floors. The property includes five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, together with well-balanced family space comprising a sociable open-plan kitchen and living room, a separate dining room, boot room and games room. To the lower ground floor there is a practical utility area and wine cellar, providing useful additional storage and ancillary space.
Adjoining the mill is The Barn (also Grade II listed), a beautifully presented three bedroom, three bathroom property finished to a high standard. The Barn could easily be reconnected to the mill if additional internal accommodation is required or alternatively occupied independently. It also offers clear potential to generate further income, either as a long-term let or as a holiday let.

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
