This dreamy holiday cottage ticks every box; picture-postcard good looks, elegant and generous interiors and one of the most desirable postcodes in Yorkshire. Subject to a complete and outstanding refurbishment, this property has been transformed into the perfect country retreat.
Step inside to discover a spacious sitting room with its pitch-perfect mustard walls and bags of character. Your eye is drawn immediately to the original stone fireplace, now home to a cosy wood burner.

At the other end of the room is a grand side table with two glamorous armchairs either side. The perfect spot to settle down by the window and enjoy the light.
Step down into the fabulous kitchen / dining room at the rear of the cottage. A striking mix of contemporary and traditional, this is an amazing space to cook, dine and entertain. The kitchen boasts a large island with warm oak worktops, a wine cooler and lots of storage. A handy tower socket complete with USB ports is cleverly integrated into the island. The kitchen also has a large gas range cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There's a nutri-bullet and brand coffee machine too and a sound system for background music - everything you could possibly need!
The dining table is set by the patio doors affording stunning views across the paddocks and Wensleydale beyond.
