This striking stone schoolhouse conversion sits in a quiet area of the charming Yorkshire market town of Pateley Bridge. It’s only minutes away from all the life of the high street and is the perfect accommodation for anyone with a love of history or unusual architecture. Pateley Bridge is a picturesque and busy little town with plenty to occupy and entertain visitors. Watch artists at work sculpting and glass blowing in their workshops, then explore the history of local life and industry in the Nidderdale Museum. There’s an abundance of traditional tea rooms, restaurants and pubs to keep you well fuelled, and anyone with a sweet tooth will enjoy the oldest sweet shop in England. For nature lovers, this town is the starting point of the Nidderdale Way, a 53-mile loop that takes in the beautiful scenery of the Nidd River Valley and the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Climb the 14 steps from the street to enter this old stone building. Kick off your shoes in the porch and store them in the boot room before continuing through to the spacious lounge/diner. Enjoy the natural light flooding in through the long room’s many windows as you relax on the large sofas, which have more than enough space for four. Another wall of windows greets you in the airy kitchen, sleekly decorated with modern black and white tiles and fittings. There are no stairs inside this property, so also on the ground floor is a spacious bathroom and two bedrooms: one a tranquil double with an elegant dressing table and armchair, and one a light, twin room with a washbasin.
Outside this property, you’ll find an enclosed courtyard with a table, chairs and elevated views of the town and church nearby.
