UK’s ‘most remote home’ in picturesque countryside could be yours as it goes up for sale – and it’ll make you £1.4k
ONE of UK's most remote homes in a picturesque beauty spot has hit the market.
Perched close to Ingleborough - the second highest of the Yorkshire Dales' 'three peaks' - the eye-catching gaff was built 400 years ago and can be yours for £400,000.
The four-bedroom farmhouse, named Crina Bottom, is only accessible by 4x4 vehicles and collects a cool £1,400 profit each year thanks to its very own windturbine.
The two-storey bolt hole boats 4.9 acres of land and comes under the government Feed-in-Tariff scheme, so the homeowners get paid for all the power generated.
The breathtaking property also comes complete with two separate gardens, limestone crags and two paddocks - and has plenty of extra space for parking.
Crina Bottom's interior is no less spectacular.
