'Most remote cottage' in Yorkshire Dales removed from market

Number three Blea Moor Cottage, in Whernside, North Yorkshire, has been dubbed one of Britain’s most remote homes and can’t be accessed by car.

But people's chances to own the property have been left by the wayside after the house listing was removed by the estate agent.

Despite once being priced at £300,000, a drop in the price on several occasions couldn't sway people to invest in the cottage.

There are currently no mains services available in the house - but the cottage boasts incredible views all around and is located near a stream.

It also sits on the Three Peaks Challenge route and will have a high footfall, as around 200,000 people attempt the treacherous challenge each year – with many others tackling the Whernside mountain alone.

There are three bedrooms in the cottage. There are two double bedrooms and one smaller double bedroom, with a window to the front.

While the cottage does not include parking, a car can be left at nearby Ribblehead Viaduct, 26 miles south east of Kendal. However the 20 minute journey can be done with a 4X4 or quad bike.

A description on Rightmove from agents Fisher Hopper reads: "Exciting renovation project in a stunningly beautiful location.

"Three Bleamoor Cottages is a former railway worker’s home situated on the main hiking path up Whernside, in the Yorkshire Dales.

"Adjacent to the famous Settle to Carlisle railway line above Ribblehead, the property presents an interesting investment, with a range of potential commercial opportunities apparent: private holiday home; unique AirBnB style experience; bunkhouse or refreshment stop on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge route.

"Plans will be subject to the necessary consents – this is in the heart of the National Park – but for the right buyer with vision, there is great potential here."

At one point, the house did receive an offer, which was accepted by the owner - but seemingly fell through, given the most recent update on the property.

One of the cottage’s bedrooms boasts bright blue carpets but parts of the room have been engulfed by significant mould.

The property’s kitchen appears to be the most well-maintained area, with a large range stove, wooden counters and exposed brick wall.

The home lacks electricity and running water, with previous tenants generating electricity from a windmill and water by trailer.
