Set on the edge of an exclusive rural hamlet, this three-bedroom stone cottage blends traditional character with exceptional countryside outlooks. South-facing principal rooms and a large private rear garden of just under 0.4 acre provide room for family life, gardening and outdoor entertaining. The house sits on a generous plot with off-street parking for multiple cars and panoramic views across Wharfedale.
Practical features include double glazing and an oil-fired boiler serving radiators; the kitchen is fitted with handmade oak units and quality appliances. The layout offers a comfortable lounge, dining room with patio doors to the garden, breakfast kitchen and three first-floor bedrooms served by a single three-piece bathroom. Local schools, village amenities and good road links to Leeds, Harrogate and the motorway network add convenience despite the secluded setting.
Important considerations: the property dates from before 1900 and walls are sandstone/limestone with assumed no insulation, contributing to an EPC rating of E. Heating is oil-fuelled (not a community system), which can carry higher running costs and refuelling logistics. Council tax is in Band F and described as expensive. The house will suit buyers prepared to carry out energy upgrades or cosmetic modernisation to improve efficiency and reduce ongoing costs.
This is a rare chance to buy in a small, prosperous hamlet with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — ideal for families wanting rural living within commutable distance. Buyers seeking low-maintenance modern homes or zero-carbon heating should factor in retrofit works and associated costs.
