Description
West Cottage, located in Litherskew, sits in a elevated position with outstanding views up to Hawes and down to Addlebrough. The property is being sold with no onwards chain.
Litherskew is just over 2 miles to Hawes, along a council maintained road from Sedbusk and offers walks from the doorstep.
Hawes still has a regular weekly outdoor market and is famous for its cheese making, beautiful scenery and farming. It has a good range of shops, pubs & restaurants, church & chapel, doctor's surgery & primary school. It is a popular destination for tourists but retains a good sense of community.
West Cottage is a 'upside down' house, dating back to the early 1800's. The layout works to make the most of the views in all directions. The current vendors have lived in West Cottage for 10 years and have completed extensive works on the property. West Cottage enjoys the benefit of oil fired central heating, double glazing and good decorative order throughout.
On the ground floor, there are three double bedrooms, a shower room and a handy utility room. The loft hatch in the entrance hall, offers access to a converted attic space that could be used as a office or playroom.
On the first floor, there is a high quality dining kitchen, that was fitted in 2021 by Howdens. The kitchen benefits from views to the South & West over the fields to the hills. The living room is spacious, with an exposed stone wall, multi-fuel stove and windows with seats to admire the views.
Outside, at West Cottage is a south-facing lawn with mature flower beds and trees. At the front of the property there is ample driveway parking for multiple cars.
Stone steps lead up to a tiered garden, the first level offering rasied flower beds and the second providing a suntrap place to sit to take in the outstanding views.
At the top of the garden is a traditional Dales hay meadow, that is just over quarter of an acre in size. The current vendors have fenced off a section to create a mown grass area. The rest has been left as a wild flower meadow. A stream running down the middle, seperates the meadow from next doors meadow.
There is also a stone built store that has power and could be used as a workshop.
West Cottage offers country living within a small community, perfect for either full time or holiday living. Viewing is essential to appreciate the location and views.
