Summary - Bridge Cottage, Newkin DL8 3EF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming village home with garden and fishing rights by the River Bain.
Three double bedrooms and one family bathroom
Bridge Cottage is a traditional stone-built riverside cottage set in the popular village of Bainbridge, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The house offers three double bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting room with a multi-fuel stove and an open-plan kitchen-diner with utility and cloakroom — comfortable, characterful living across two storeys. Terraced gardens step down to the River Bain and include patio space and fishing rights, offering an attractive outdoor setting for relaxation or a holiday let.
Practical points are straightforward: the house is chain free, freehold and offers allocated off-street parking for one car plus nearby on-street spaces. Heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators and windows are double glazed (install date unknown). The property sits directly on the roadside so privacy is limited and there can be village traffic noise; parking space is constrained compared with modern homes.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the riverside location and that the cottage’s solid stone walls appear uninsulated, so some upgrading and modernisation could improve comfort and energy costs. Broadband and mobile signal are average; the area is otherwise very low crime and affluent, with local primary schooling rated good. This cottage will suit buyers seeking character, countryside outlooks and waterside living — ideal as a full-time home, second home or holiday rental with scope to add value through sympathetic improvements.
Overall, Bridge Cottage combines period charm and an exceptional riverside position with practical limitations typical of older village cottages. The property’s setting, views and fishing rights are standout assets balanced against maintenance and modernisation needs and the riverside flood risk.
