The first floor landing provides access to two bedrooms, the house bathroom and a useful airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

The house bathroom has a P-shaped bath, w.c and wash hand basin.

Studio - The property benefits from an additional space attached to the garage, which has a useful laundry/utility room with terracotta tiling, leading into a substantial, multi-functional room which could be used as a home office, studio or additional sitting room overlooking the rear garden. There is also a wetroom with a shower, w.c and basin.

Owner's Insight - It's set in the National Park, nestled in the heart of a quiet Yorkshire village. There are great walks on the doorstep and plenty of outdoor areas for gardening and relaxing, as well as off road parking for two vehicles/ a garage. The annexe gives flexibility of space and an additional dimension. Inside the house is welcoming with good use of natural wood, stone and slate- it's quirky. It's a real pleasure to sit in front of the stove in the winter and in the summer it is cool with the thick walls.

Generally the house is a peaceful and restorative place I have enjoyed having as my home.

Externally - The property is approached via shared access with two neighbouring properties. There is parking in front of the garage as well as a stone-paved patio seating area.

A wrought-iron gate gives access to the private rear garden, which has a patio seating area, lawn and a variety of mature shrubs, trees and plants. There is also a useful timber shed.
