Summary - WALDEN COTTAGE WEST BURTON LEYBURN DL8 4JN
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Ready-to-live-in two-bed cottage near village green and waterfalls.
Immaculate stone-built Dales cottage with period character
Walden Cottage is an immaculately presented stone-built Dales cottage in the heart of sought-after West Burton. The house offers two double bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge with multi-fuel stove, and a modern shower room — all recently upgraded for immediate occupation. The current owners run it successfully as a holiday let, so it suits first-time buyers, investors or anyone seeking a bolthole in the Yorkshire Dales.
The property’s advantages are straightforward: characterful limestone walls, full double glazing, newly fitted oil central heating and a low-maintenance walled rear garden with open field views. A stone-built single garage provides useful storage; the cottage footprint and plot are modest, so upkeep is light. The village itself has a primary school, shop, tearoom and pub, with Leyburn and Hawes about eight miles away.
Be clear about the limits: the plot is very small and outdoor space is compact; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. Heating relies on an oil boiler (not community supply), which can be more costly and requires fuel deliveries. The property sits in an area of medium flooding risk — consider this when arranging insurance and surveys. Parking is limited; the garage is primarily storage rather than a large vehicle space.
Overall, Walden Cottage is a ready-to-use, newly renovated period home with proven holiday-let income potential. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking low-maintenance country living with Dales character, or investors wanting a turn-key holiday cottage in a highly regarded village location.
