Apple Blossom Cottage, Thornton-Le-Dale

Delightful stone cottage with landscaped garden and substantial barn/garage in a sought after village.

Apple Blossom Cottage is a pretty stone cottage believed to date from the 1800s – with earlier origins - and situated just a short stroll from the bustling heart of the village. It comes with an appealing low maintenance garden and a superb stone barn providing substantial garaging and also offering opportunities for development. The whole property has been the subject of a sympathetic and comprehensive renovation, creating a beautifully appointed home that would make an ideal lock up & leave, bolt hole or holiday let.

Additional Information - Apple Blossom Cottage has been painstakingly restored and renovated in recent years by the current owners including a new kitchen and bathroom, recently laid slate tiles in the hall, dining room and kitchen and wood flooring elsewhere. All renovations have been carried out with due deference to the great age of this fine old building. Constructed circa 1800, this cottage has cosy interiors with mellow oak ceiling beams, cottage doors with wrought-iron door furniture, window seats and two working fireplaces. There are two good sized reception rooms and a kitchen with a brand new range cooker and induction hob, a Butler sink, fitted units and integrated appliances. A stable door opens to the external store/boot room with power and light. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with good ceiling heights rising into the roof space, both south facing. The house bathroom has newly fitted sanitary ware including a pedestal wash basin and bath with shower over and a heated towel rail.

Outside - Apple Blossom Cottage is elevated above the road behind a broad pavement. At the rear is an enclosed garden, walled to two sides. This lovely garden is landscaped with three terraces, gravelled and paved, connected by flights of stone steps, each providing corners for relaxing and entertaining. There is an elegant glass balustrade, raised beds planted with colourful perennials and a high mellow wall on the western boundary adorned with colourful climbers. A secure garden gate opens to a garden path that runs alongside the barn. The 45 ft-long stone barn is an attached building with power and light and a sliding garage door opening onto Church Lane. Alongside the barn, a secure wrought-iron garden gate gives direct access to the garden and rear entrance of the house.
