3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming three-bedroom village home near Dales village green and amenities.
Double-fronted stone cottage in sought-after West Burton village
Craven House is a double-fronted stone cottage set on a quiet street in West Burton, one of Wensleydale’s most loved villages. The house offers three good bedrooms, a recently updated kitchen-diner, a comfortable lounge, plus handy additions such as a large pantry, study/snug and a glazed rear sunroom — useful flexible space for home working or relaxing.
The property retains characterful features in traditional stone construction and benefits from double glazing. Electric storage heating keeps the installation straightforward, and the roof appears low-maintenance. Outside space is courtyard-style and small, suitable for potted gardening or a seating area with attractive nearby countryside and village-green views a short walk away.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating relies on electric storage heaters, the stone walls are likely uninsulated, and broadband speeds are slow. There is a medium flood risk in the area and the plot is modest, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. The house suits a family wanting village life, someone seeking a holiday-home base in the national park, or an investor targeting long-term let potential.
Overall, this cottage offers ready-to-live-in accommodation with scope to improve energy efficiency and connectivity. It’s an appealing purchase for those who value village community and Dales access, while accepting the maintenance and adaptation work that older stone properties commonly require.
