LOCATION

Nestled in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the property offers spectacular views, peace, and rural tranquillity, while still being within easy reach of local amenities, schools, and nearby towns such as Hawes, Hubberholme, and Kettlewell. School transport is provided, making this a perfect family home in a truly idyllic setting.
GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor comprises a generous entrance hall with ornate wood doors and a tiled floor, a cloakroom with low-level WC and hand basin, and a utility room with ample storage and space for appliances. The farmhouse-style kitchen and dining room is bright and spacious, featuring solid wood worktops, a large electric Rangemaster cooker, integrated fridges, dishwasher plumbing, ceramic sink, wood flooring, and a log-burning stove. There is also a study/snug with exposed stone, beams, and a multi-fuel stove, perfect as an office or secondary living area.

The principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows with far-reaching views and an ensuite bathroom featuring a panelled bath, corner shower, hand basin, and WC.
