Set on a quiet lane near the village green, this two-storey, semi-detached cottage is bursting with character and charm. Wooden beamed ceilings, stained glass doors, period-style furnishings and high-end appliances are wrapped in a relaxed rural decor. The dual-aspect lounge is oh so cosy with a warming wood burner set in the feature inglenook fireplace, elegant sofas and a Smart TV. Partially glazed, arched double doors lead into a country-style kitchen/diner with exposed brickwork, a feature fireplace, a dining table and a range of amenities including an air fryer and a bread maker. When it’s time to rest your head, two richly furnished bedrooms invites you upstairs, each with luxury mattresses, bathrobes and slippers. Choose between a super-king-size bedroom with fell views and a feature fireplace, and a twin with dual-aspect windows and built-in wardrobes. They share use of a handsome, contemporary bathroom. Make the most of warm weather in the enclosed, raised garden, which has a pergola and outdoor dining area. There’s also private, off-road parking for two cars along with an EV charger and a handy outdoor tap.
The Lower Wensleydale village of West Burton is associated with J.M.W. Turner who sketched its famous waterfall some 200 years ago. This is superb walking country, with Aysgarth Falls less than 2 miles north and the Yorkshire Dales all around, and it’s excellent for birdwatching, too. The market town of Leyburn (8 miles) has a wealth of independent shops, galleries, pubs and is on the heritage Wensleydale Railway line.
