Set in the picturesque Wensleydale village of Askrigg, this characterful cottage is surrounded by rural fields and beautiful countryside, and makes a cosy holiday hideaway for families and groups of friends. Offering ample accommodation for up to six guests, the property is close to the heart of the village which has some excellent pubs, well-stocked corner shops, and friendly cafes and tearooms. Askrigg is also the location for the popular TV series All Creatures Great and Small. Heading further into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, you can visit some charming market towns including Hawes (5 miles) and Leyburn (12 miles). Local attractions include The Forbidden Corner, Aysgarth Falls and the ruins of Richard III’s Middleham Castle, all within 14 miles.
Entering this pretty cottage, the entrance hallway features a quarry-tiled floor with plenty of space to leave coats and muddy boots. Heading through to the main lounge, you will find a spacious beamed room with a wood burner set on a stone plinth. Beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished, the room features photography by a talented local artist, and has traditional shuttered windows, a Smart TV and built-in cupboards storing a range of board games. Away from the main lounge area, a chair sits by the double-height arched window which allows light to stream in, and provides a charming spot to contemplate the beautiful surroundings. There’s a lovely additional snug with bespoke tree-trunk shelving, a Smart TV and another wood burner, providing a handy second space to unwind in. The beamed farmhouse-style kitchen/diner has a wealth of useful equipment and a beautiful oak table so you can sit together and enjoy all your favourite dishes. The ground floor also has a handy shower room and a utility room with plenty of storage space and useful household equipment. Going upstairs, you will find three fresh and relaxing bedrooms, all quirkily decorated and full of character. The first is a dual-aspect king-size room with an eye-catching light fitting fashioned on antlers. The second is an opulent pheasant-themed suite with a super-king-size bed, Smart TV and en-suite shower room. The final room is a fox-themed twin room. There’s also an elegant family bathroom with a stylish slipper bath and a large corner twin shower unit, with an intricately tiled floor.
