Property for sale in Kirkby Stephen
Kirkby Stephen is a small market town in the upper Eden Valley on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. It has historic buildings, cobbled yards, interesting shops, and is surrounded by a patchwork of fields. Lying close to the border with Scotland, Kirkby Stephen was often raided by clansmen, and evidence of the town's defensive preparations still exists in its narrow, high-walled passages, squares into which cattle could be herded, and a secret tunnel beneath the streets. Kirkby Stephen has a fascinating mix of architectural styles including its 17th century footbridge across the River Eden and its large, 12th century parish church of St Stephen, known locally as the Cathedral of the Dales.
Property for sale in Kirkby Stephen includes new-build townhouses and period-style, stone-built cottages and houses. Estate agents in Kirkby Stephen also represent farm buildings that are ripe for conversion; beautiful Georgian former coach houses; and a great mix of detached stone-built period houses and mansions, some Grade II listed, with numerous bedrooms and wonderful views.
