Agent’s Notes

Malham is unquestionably one of the "jewels in the crown" of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a small unspoilt and picturesque village set amidst dramatic limestone landscape features, the most dominant of which is the Cove. The village is naturally a haven for those who enjoy the countryside and wish to take advantage of the many varied walks that are available. It is also a very appealing environment for the residents, a choice of cafés and public houses with restaurant facilities. There is also a well-regarded primary school at nearby Kirkby Malham. Malhamdale is in the catchment area of the highly regarded grammar schools in Skipton and there is also a comprehensive school in nearby Settle. The market towns of Settle and Skipton are within some seven and eleven miles respectively and offer a wide range of amenities. The railway station at Skipton has services to Leeds, Bradford and London.

On entering Malham from Kirkby Malham/Airton, proceed into the village turning right over the bridge. Follow the signs for Gordale Scar (Finkle Street). Go past the Lister Arms and the Youth Hostel which should be on your left. After 0.1 miles turn left (signposted Malham Tarn). Take the next left where the property is located on the right marked by our Dacre, Son & Hartley 'For Sale' board.
