This seven bedroom detached home near famous Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales is being auctioned for £600,000

Outside there is a parking area and a paved area with a further patio surrounded by trees at the back.

The property is for sale through Dacre, Son & Hartley’s new auction service, which it launched earlier this year after partnering with property auction service provider iamsold.

The Modern Method of Auction means bidders can browse properties through the estate agent’s website and make offers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Mark Kane, head of Dacres’ Skipton office, said: “This is a large, detached house at the centre of one of the jewels in the crown of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, so opportunities like this are very few and far between.

“There’s no doubt that once modernised, it will be a fantastic home and we’re anticipating high levels of interest from both developers and homebuyers with the ambition and vision to create a special house in a beautiful location.

“It’s also an ideal property to sell using the Modern Method of Auction because it’s likely that there will be competition from buyers who are financially committed and want to act quickly and decisively, which also reduces the chance of the sale falling through.”

The auction properties still benefit from the estate agent’s marketing exposure including promotion across its office network, targeted mailings to active buyers and investors, and online marketing across its website and the UK’s main property portals including Rightmove, Zoopla, Primelocation and OnTheMarket.

Dacre, Son & Hartley was founded more than 200 years ago and is Yorkshire’s largest independent estate agent with 18 offices across North and West Yorkshire.
