Explore the market town on your doorstep or set out to walk the surrounding countryside. This stylish house has plenty of places to gather including two living rooms and a pretty garden and is just metres from the market square in Masham in the breathtakingly beautiful region of Lower Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. This market town is famous for its family-run breweries, steam engines and annual sheep fair. Explore the countryside with one of the many great walks in the area, including the lovely Druid’s Temple walk which starts at Swinton Bivouac. This short, easy walk has stunning views, a 200-year-old stone temple and a lovely cafe at the end. The cathedral city of Ripon is 10 miles and Harrogate is 20 miles.
Enter the house through the front door and you will find an entrance hall with hooks for hanging up coats and a beautiful antique telephone. From here, a door leads into the lounge, which has a large bay window onto the street which lets in plenty of light with an open decorative fire and TV. Next door is another light-filled family room facing over the rear of the property, furnished with sofas, a TV and a wall-mounted electric fire. A single bedroom on this level also has a large window overlooking the garden. Take the stairs from the hallway to the lower ground floor, where you’ll find the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a rear door opening out onto the patio and garden, and a cloakroom in the corner is a handy place to dry off your clothes and boots after a day’s walking or sightseeing. Two bedrooms are on the first floor – a beautifully furnished double with an en-suite shower and countryside views and another double with views onto the street. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and the second floor houses a light and airy twin bedroom with sloped ceilings and countryside views.
The fully enclosed furnished patio and garden is a just the place for a morning coffee or to dine alfresco on a summer’s evening.
