This rural holiday home offers a peaceful countryside retreat, set among rolling hills with far reaching views across the Washburn Valley. It’s an ideal base for families and friends looking to unwind in a quiet, scenic setting, with plenty of walks available straight from the door. The property is also centrally placed for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, including Grassington — known for its role in All Creatures Great and Small — and the beautiful grounds of Bolton Abbey. The spa town of Harrogate (9 miles) is within easy reach for a visit to the famous Betty’s Tearooms, the Turkish Baths and a range of independent shops. Ilkley (12 miles) offers riverside walks, cafés and boutiques, while Otley (7 miles) provides everyday essentials and local amenities. Nearby highlights include the dramatic rock formations at the National Trust’s Brimham Rocks (8.5 miles) and the historic ruins and gardens of Fountains Abbey (12 miles).
Enter the stone-built property through the boot room with cloakroom, a practical space for coats, muddy boots and outdoor gear. From here, you step into a welcoming hallway. To the front of the property you will find a cosy games room with a wood burner that offers a relaxed spot for rainy days and the sitting room that features exposed beams, comfortable seating and another wood burner for cooler evenings. The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan living area, filled with natural light and framed by countryside views. A well-equipped kitchen with a large island flows into the dining and seating areas, offering a sociable layout that blends rustic character with modern living. The ground floor also includes a double bedroom with a large window overlooking Swinsty Reservoir and an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms offer views of the countryside. The king-size room has an en-suite bathroom, while two zip-and-link rooms — one king-size and one super-king-size (both convertible to singles on request) — each have their own en-suite shower rooms.
Outside, the tiered garden offers a patio with seating, a BBQ and impressive reservoir views. A hot tub provides a relaxing spot to unwind after a day exploring. The property also includes a bike store and private parking for cars.
