Character cottage with holiday-let history and lovely countryside views.
Tucked-away stone cottage with attractive rear views to Fremington Edge
Tucked just off Reeth village green, this traditional stone cottage pairs genuine period character with practical modern upgrades. The layout feels larger than it first appears, with two double bedrooms (one en-suite), two bathrooms, a separate utility and store, and a pair of stone-flagged patios that frame lovely views to Fremington Edge.
The property has an established holiday-let history, making it attractive to investors or owners seeking part-time rental income. Recent upgrades include UPVC double glazing throughout and an oil-fired boiler installed in 2019, while the stone-built walls and oak finishes retain authentic charm with exposed beams, cast-iron stoves and feature stonework.
Buyers should note a few material points: the cottage is outside of any flood risk but was built before 1900 with traditional stone walls that appear uninsulated (insulation likely required if upgrading energy efficiency). The Energy Efficiency Rating is D57 and the main fuel is oil, which may produce higher running costs than mains gas. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited to front and rear patios.
Overall, this freehold mid-terrace cottage offers a strong mix of character, rental potential and a tucked-away village location. It will suit investors seeking a ready-to-go holiday let or buyers wanting a compact, characterful home in Swaledale, though those seeking larger gardens or highest energy efficiency should factor in potential retrofit costs.
