A gorgeous Grade II listed three-bedroom luxury holiday cottage nestling in a stunning Swaledale village. Perfect for families with its enclosed private garden, there are fabulous walks from the doorstep, breathtaking views from most rooms and a local gastropub. A little slice of Yorkshire holiday heaven.
Dating back over 250 years, this holiday home is a handsome double-fronted traditional stone cottage which enjoys an elevated position in one of the Yorkshire Dales' sweetest villages. Looking directly out onto Swaledale's trademark meadows, barns and drystone walls, the views are simply spectacular. And the interiors are rather special too.
Inside, you'll find an immaculate and welcoming holiday home with plenty of space for the whole family. Let's start with the cosy and comfortable lounge. The focus of the room is a large stone inglenook fireplace, home to a multi-fuel stove to warm your toes by each evening. Take your pick from several comfy sofas and a lovely easy chair by the fire, the perfect spot to curl up with a good book and a glass of red or two. There's a TV complete with Freeview and a DVD player along with a library of DVDs - that's if you can drag your eyes away from the view. There's also an iPod dock and MP3 player as well as Wi-Fi if you need to catch up online.
Directly opposite this room you'll find the farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room, a lovely bright room with a friendly vibe and those great views again. In here you'll find a fridge/freezer, oven and induction hob, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Next to the window is a large farmhouse dining table, perfect for gathering around over noisy breakfasts, planning what you'll see and do later that day. And if you get a peaceful moment to yourself, settle down here with a nice cup of coffee, gazing out to the gorgeous landscapes of Swaledale below.
All of the bedrooms in this luxury Yorkshire Dales cottage are on the first floor. The first is a beautiful master bedroom boasting a king-size bed, TV/DVD player and of course those fabulous views. It also has a large en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating and a large walk-in shower. There are an additional two twin bedrooms in the cottage, both of which feature two full-size single beds. The family bathroom is also up here and includes a bath with a shower overhead. Just the ticket if you have young children to scrub down after a day exploring the Dales.
On this floor you'll also find a stunning garden room, filled with light this sun-drenched room leads directly out to the elevated rear garden. With underfloor heating, it's lovely and warm throughout the year and is a perfect spot to nestle down with a glossy magazine while the kids run around in the garden.
The garden itself is a very pleasant spot; enclosed and sheltered, it's a real sun-trap in the summer. There's a lovely bistro table and chairs for you to enjoy lunch alfresco or throw out a picnic blanket on the lawn and enjoy a nice bottle of fizz. There is also a small cottage garden to the front of the property, complete with a bench to take in those fabulous Yorkshire views.
