This charming Grade II-listed stone cottage dates from 1669 and retains many original features — exposed beams, mullioned windows, flagged floors and a dramatic inglenook with multi-fuel stove. The one-bedroom layout is compact but well planned, presented in good order and ready for immediate occupation.
Set in a tranquil hamlet position a short walk (c.800 yards) from High Bentham, the plot includes a generous walled garden, mature shrubs, private parking/turning area and a single garage. The house has a proven holiday-let history but also suits a first-time buyer or second-home owner seeking countryside character within reach of the Dales and local amenities.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — repairs, alterations and some improvements will require listed-building consent and could add cost or delay works. There are mixed details about heating in the data: the listing describes a gas-fired central boiler and multi-fuel stove, but summary data lists electric room heaters; prospective buyers should verify heating systems, controls and appliance safety (no appliances have been checked).
Overall this is a unique, characterful cottage with immediate kerb appeal and flexible use potential. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the interior proportions and the generous enclosed garden and parking which are rare for properties of this age and type.
