At the foothills of Dodd Fell, this spectacular farmhouse offers the perfect base for adventure-filled getaways. The spacious property beautifully blends original features with modern home comforts, pairing exposed stonework, original beams and double-height vaulted ceilings with everything needed for a relaxing family retreat. Sleeping up to ten guests and welcoming pets, it’s an exceptional choice for larger groups keen to escape to the Yorkshire Dales and explore the breathtaking surrounding scenery. A true wildlife haven, the farmhouse is situated within a red squirrel sanctuary, and these rare critters are often spotted in the property’s impressive garden.
Inside, the farmhouse offers generous living space with multiple areas to relax and socialise. Step into the open-plan lounge/diner, complete with ample seating, a wood burner and a TV. Adjoining this is a bright conservatory, offering further comfortable seating and panoramic garden views. The traditionally styled kitchen features an Aga that adds extra warmth during winter months, while a dedicated games room provides entertainment for children. Of the five bedrooms – one of which is located on the ground floor – two benefit from en-suite bathrooms for added convenience. The remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom and an additional WC. Outside, the large garden is a highlight. It includes an enclosed patio, a pretty lake, multiple seating areas and private parking for two cars.
Positioned directly on the Pennine Way, the property places you in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Lace up your boots to hike Dodd Fell or Whernside (12.5 miles) or take to two wheels for a ride towards the famed Buttertubs Pass viewpoint (9 miles), popular among cyclists. Spend a day in Hawes (4.5 miles), a charming Wensleydale village and home of the renowned Wensleydale Creamery.
