Set in the heart of Swaledale, this stone-built 3-bedroom cottage combines period character with recent modernisations. Flagged floors, deep bay windows and an Aga-style kitchen give the house authentic charm, while a separate office/workroom and utility/WC add practical everyday space for a family or someone working from home.
Refurbishments include a new roof and full re-wiring (2015), and upgraded kitchen and bathroom fittings, so the property is largely ready to occupy. The south-facing flagged garden plus a separate fruit and vegetable plot with bespoke shed provide pleasant outdoor space and productive gardening opportunity in a compact plot.
Practical considerations are clear and stated: heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas), the EPC is 43 (E), and council tax is band E (above average). The cottage sits in a small hamlet within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, about a mile from Reeth’s amenities but in a remote community setting, which suits buyers who prioritise peace and character over urban convenience.
This freehold cottage will appeal to families, downsizers or countryside-seekers wanting a low-maintenance period home with scope to personalise further. Viewings will suit those looking for village life, attractive rural views, and a manageable garden rather than large grounds.
