This quintessential Dales Cottage, originally dating back to the late 1700s, sensitively combines original features with contemporary facilities, offering a memorable getaway. Tucked away in the tranquil farming community of Stalling Busk, nestled in the valley of Raydale in Upper Wensleydale, the cottage is positioned in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, providing a substantial Dales home in a rural yet accessible location. This picturesque hamlet is the perfect destination for those seeking a relaxed retreat, with its close proximity to the enchanting Lake Semerwater just under 1 mile away. Visitors will find a wealth of scenic walks right on the doorstep of the cottage as well as other trails and cycling routes, including the Pennine Way and mesmerising Aysgarth Falls (9 miles). Additionally, the pretty village of Bainbridge (3 miles) and the market town of Hawes (5 miles) boast traditional shops, local crafts, and delightful tea rooms to explore.
This charming cottage is bursting with classic character, original features and stunning views from every window. Step through the door and into the entrance porch, an ideal space for storing coats and wiping muddy paws after a day of exploration. A comfortable lounge awaits, where a high beamed ceiling and wood burner creates a warm and cosy atmosphere. Relax on the comfy sofas and enjoy a movie on the smart TV or just unwind quietly in the peaceful setting. Continue into the attractive dining room, featuring another wood burner and a large table perfect for sociable meals and family gatherings. The farmhouse style kitchen is a chef's delight, equipped with an AGA, a good provision of accessories as well as up to date attachments ! Just off the kitchen there is a useful utility room with a separate WC. Upstairs, the cottage offers two large bedrooms each with a super kingsize sleigh bed and one other bedroom with Twin beds. Each are furnished with comfy mattresses and offer picture-perfect countryside views from their windows. There are two shower rooms, each with walk-in showers, WC and wash basins, which completes the interior of this delightful accommodation.
Outside, a large garden enclosed by a traditional hand built stone wall wraps around the cottage, providing ample space to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Lounge on the sun loungers or gather around the table for a BBQ, all while soaking in the tranquillity surrounded by stunning natural beauty and extensive views over The Dales.
