Three-bedroom home with modern heating, Superfibre broadband and far-reaching fell views.
Grade II listed cottage in Dent village centre, historic character throughout
A Grade II listed three-storey cottage positioned on Dent’s historic Main Street, recently upgraded for comfortable modern living while retaining strong period character. The ground-floor kitchen-diner features a large stone fireplace, raised wood-burning stove and underfloor heating; double doors open to a small private seating area with views toward the church and fells. Smart Wave flat-panel radiators and upgraded electrics (new RCD/consumer unit) add energy-efficient controllability alongside Superfibre broadband.
Exposed oak beams, original stone walls and slate floors give authentic Dales charm across compact but well-arranged rooms. The lounge benefits from a second wood burner and an historic spice cupboard dated 1726. Three good-sized bedrooms sit on the top floor with one rear room enjoying direct fell views. The single bathroom provides a practical three-piece suite with shower.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the Grade II listing will restrict alteration options and may complicate future projects; the stone walls are likely uninsulated and will limit thermal performance despite recent heating upgrades. The plot is very small with no significant garden, and accommodation is arranged over three floors which may not suit those with limited mobility. The property is sold freehold and chain-free, making for a straightforward purchase process for buyers prepared to work within listed-building constraints.
