Perched on the edge of the Leeds and Liverpool canal, this fabulous ground-floor apartment puts you waterside and in the perfect position for watching the narrow canal boats pass by the town of Skipton. Enjoy leisurely afternoons filled with afternoon tea (make that Yorkshire tea, of course) and cakes at the outdoor seating area by the canal. With an abundance of greenery all around, the apartment's outdoor space provides a dreamy setting for days spent relaxing in the sunshine and taking in Yorkshire's stunning natural beauty. On colder days, the apartment's interior offers an equally relaxed, modern set-up – with the open-plan living space as the home's central hub. Sprawl across the sofas after long walks along the canal and serve up delicious homemade meals at the dining table – meanwhile, the kitchen island offers the perfect spot for popping open a glass of wine come evening time. Located just a stone's throw away from the town centre of picturesque Skipton, you'll be ideally placed for taking in the local shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants. Meanwhile, Skipton's Medieval Castle is also well worth a visit. Not to mention the endless walking routes and epic natural scenery of the Yorkshire... Dales National Park – found just a fifteen-minute drive away.

About Lancashire
From Blackpool’s swirl of neon lights to the Forest of Bowland’s wind-whipped fells, Lancashire’s sights span the extremes of what Britain has to offer. Follow drystone walls along the Pendle Hill walk; slip through kissing-gates in fields of grazing sheep, over old wooden footbridges, eventually cresting the summit to humbling views across Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales. Ramble through woodland to emerge at the reservoir edge where the pin-drop silence...
