This detached family home is in Pateley Bridge, a pretty market town with quaint shops, a small museum, and friendly pubs all within 0.5 miles of your front door. Take leisurely wanders along the River Nidd, which runs behind the property, and venture into the Yorkshire Dales for scenic day hikes and trips to local beauty spots like Gouthwaite Reservoir (2.5 miles). This beautifully presented home sleeps up to eight guests over four bedrooms, so is wonderful for a trip among extended family or close friends and their children.
Once you’ve admired the striking stone facade, ascend four steps to the front door, then step into the gorgeous open-plan living area. This space benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, allowing plenty of light into the room. There’s a spacious kitchen with a handy breakfast bar for preaching with coffee or snacks. The dining area looks out to the grassy garden and features bespoke built-in seating made from elegant wood panelling. You’ll also have a small lounge across the hall, along with a snug which is furnished with a wood burner, Smart TV, and sound bar. From the kitchen area, double doors lead out to a decked patio with plenty of seating. The garden, which surrounds the property, is wonderful for BBQs in good weather.
Walkers will be well catered for here – Pateley Bridge is the starting and finishing point on the circular Nidderdale Way, which loops around the Nidd Valley’s stunning scenery. You can also cycle sections of the route. Locally, visit popular sites like National Trust’s Brimham Rocks (4.5 miles), with its fascinating giant rock formations, or check out Fountains Abbey (9 miles), where historic ruins are surrounded by picturesque 18th-century landscaped gardens. The cathedral city of Ripon (12 miles) is a fab option for a day out.
