This is a light and bright, detached, two bedroomed bungalow recently refurbished to a high standard. It has spectacular, uninterrupted views of Coverdale. It sits at the top of the pretty village of Carlton (6.5 miles from Leyburn). The property is surrounded by its own well-tended garden and off-road parking for two cars. There are numerous fantastic walks from the front door to match all abilities, and it's great cycling country too. There is a rich birdlife to be enjoyed from the house. The Village has an excellent community pub and a children’s playground. Middleham Castle, Once the childhood home of Richard III, is 5 miles away with its famous Norman Tower. Weave your way through a labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and follies created within a 4-acre garden in the heart of Tupgill Park at The Forbidden Corner, 3.5 miles away. In the heart of Wensleydale, Leyburn (6.5 miles) boasts artisan shops and local cafes, traditional pubs and a weekly market, and Tennant’s famous auction house and exhibitions, restaurant, and café.
One step up to the entrance and through the front door, you are met with a hallway with plenty of hanging space for coats. The light and airy open plan living/dining/kitchen space, featuring high ceilings and large picture windows, is a wrap around in a ‘U’ shape.
