Lodge house at Yorkshire Water’s Thruscross reservoir for sale

A LODGE house at Thruscross Reservoir, between Skipton and Blubberhouses, has been put up for sale by Yorkshire Water sister company Keyland.

Thruscross Reservoir Lodge is a rare opportunity to buy a home in one of North Yorkshire’s ‘most serene and unspoilt’ settings, says selling agent Savills.

Despite needing full modernisation, the three-bed, stone built detached house has a guide price of £595,000, but there is  potential to create ‘something truly special’, says Savills.

“With its generous plot and uninterrupted views across the reservoir, this property offers the perfect canvas for renovation or redevelopment. Properties in this location seldom come to market, and with the potential to create something truly special, we expect significant interest.”

The lodge is close to the reservoir (Image: Savills) The lodge house is set back from the reservoir and is set in 0.7 acres of mature grounds inside the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It includes a sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom with many rooms enjoying fine views. There is also potential for extension, or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents from the local planning authority.
