Set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this two-bedroom stone cottage offers genuine period character and countryside vistas. The cosy sitting room centres on a Yorkshire stone fireplace with a log burner; the shaker-style kitchen provides dining space and rustic charm. The property totals about 807 sq ft and suits a full-time residence or an idyllic holiday base.
Practical features include LPG-fired boiler and radiators, double glazing installed before 2002, and a modern first-floor bathroom. Externally there is a lawned rear garden, a stone-built shed for storage, a front patio, and on-street parking. The hamlet setting is peaceful, with excellent mobile signal and easy access to well-known walking routes and local village amenities.
Buyers should note material facts: the walls are original sandstone/limestone with no assumed insulation, the EPC is rated E and council tax is band E. The property was built before 1900 and may need sympathetic maintenance or updating to improve energy efficiency. There is a medium flood risk in the area which may affect insurance and resilience planning.
This cottage will appeal to buyers seeking village character and Dales location rather than a turnkey modern home. It is well suited for someone wanting a compact, characterful dwelling with potential to invest in energy upgrades and minor modernisation while enjoying an enviable rural lifestyle.
