The property is a 2 bedroom apartment situated within Dufton Hall, a substantial stone building in the village of Dufton, near Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria. The apartment is presented in good condition and benefits from exposed beams and a modern fitted kitchen. The property includes a modern fitted bathroom with a claw foot bath. A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor. There is also a small garden area.

The location is rural, with the nearest train station being Appleby, approximately 4.42 km away. There are several well-regarded schools within a reasonable distance, including Appleby Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Long Marton School (also rated ‘Good’). The proximity to these schools is a positive attribute for families. However, the rural location may mean that access to amenities and other services is limited compared to more urban areas.

The apartment’s size is 530 sqft, which is considerably smaller than the average property size in the area (1,134 sqft). The average price per sqft in the area is £559, while the list price for this apartment is £145,000. This translates to approximately £273 per sqft, which is significantly lower than the average. This could indicate good value for money, particularly considering the apparent good condition of the property and its location within a desirable rural setting. However, the lack of plot size should be considered.

Based on the provided information, the property appears to be in good condition and offers good value for money given its location and size. The rural setting and proximity to well-regarded schools are positive aspects. The smaller size compared to the average property in the area is a consideration, but the lower price per sqft might offset this.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
