One of Britain's most remote homes, a former railway worker's cottage which is not even accessible by road, is up for sale for \u00a3300,000.<\/p>\n

The derelict three-bedroom cottage is located next to England's most remote signal box that is still manned by Network Rail, on the Settle to Carlisle train line.<\/p>\n

The "interesting investment", according to the estate agent, is a 20-minute walk to the nearest parking spot.<\/p>\n

Pictures show how the former railway worker's cottage is surrounded completely by the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The property is the last survivor of a row of three and was originally built for workers by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway between the world wars. <\/p>\n

The other two cottages were older, built in the 1870s, and were demolished along with a lamp hut in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

And despite the whopping price tag, the property is in need of an extensive renovation, with the walls being completely bare.<\/p>\n

One of the bedrooms is almost completely blue, from floor to ceiling – whilst another bedroom is the same but in purple.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is also currently no mains services available in the house.<\/p>\n

When it was last occupied, electricity was generated through a windmill and water was transported by a trailer.<\/p>\n

Interested parties are advised that it is a 20-minute walk from the parking space to the property, and would only be suitable for 4×4 vehicles and quad bikes.<\/p>\n

The house is in Whernside, North Yorkshire, which is part of the Three Peaks challenge which approximately 200,000 people compete every year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three Blea Moor Cottages is being sold by estate agents Fisher Hopper, with an asking price of \u00a3300,000.<\/p>\n

Fisher Hopper said: "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 3 Peaks Challenge route.<\/p>\n

"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."<\/p>\n

The cottage was originally built for workers by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway behind the world wars, and is the last survivor of a row of three properties.<\/p>\n

The previous owner was John Myerscough, a recluse who was served with planning enforcement action by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority in 2010.<\/p>\n

This was after he stored a large quantity of scrap vehicles and waste on the land, including five disused oil tanks, a caravan, a small digger and two shipping containers.<\/p>\n

He compiled with the order and the site was cleared.<\/p>\n
