About this property
Grassington 1 mile. Skipton 9 miles. Kirk Yett is a gorgeous property nestled in a tranquil location next to the River Wharf in the hamlet of Linton Falls. Built 300 years ago as a home for visiting preachers, Kirk Yett has retained charm and character and is a beautifully furnished and equipped house where every room has a view with window seats to curl up on. A pleasant stroll from the appeals of Linton and Grassington, with walks from the door, Kirk Yett is the ideal starting point for families, friends or couples for outdoor adventures or indoor relaxation. Stepping inside, guests are welcomed into a sitting room where a woodburning stove provides a warm and comforting focal point after days spent exploring the surrounding countryside.
Continue through into Kirk Yett's large, well-equipped kitchen/diner, the perfect gathering space, to enjoy cooking and sharing meals with your favourite people. A cottage snug with its own woodburning stove offers an additional retreat, a charming space for quiet moments, perhaps a book, a game from the cupboard or a peaceful evening indoors. Halfway up the stairs, the landing window seats beckon a pause to sit and look out onto the river and Dales Way path beyond. Continuing upstairs on the second floor, three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms provide a super comfortable place to rest. These include a super-king-size (zip/link) room, a king-size bedroom with its own woodburning stove and en-suite walk-in shower, and a double room.
A luxurious, spacious house bathroom features a freestanding bath with a view over the river, walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC. The ground-floor cloakroom adds further convenience. Venture outdoors - first steps take you onto a gravelled area with outdoor dining furniture before heading on to a spacious lawned area with further seating. And then down to a gently untamed stretch of garden hugging the river with hidden corners to explore. A garden full of opportunities to find a favourite spot to sit and watch wildlife and amazing sunsets, or head down to the water's edge to take a swim.
With off-road parking available and entertainment including games, a TV, and Smart TV, the house caters equally well to relaxed days and cosy evenings. Nearby Grassington offers traditional village charm with welcoming pubs, cafés and independent shops, while Skipton provides a lively market town atmosphere and its well-known castle. The wider Wharfedale area invites scenic walks and beautiful countryside, and both Ilkley and Harrogate sit within driving distances for elegant streets, gardens and eateries, making Kirk Yett a wonderful base for discovering the Yorkshire Dales.
Known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer, whilst York, the Lake District and the West Coast are also within easy motoring distance. This lovely market town has much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2014, The Sunday Times named Skipton as Britain's "best place to live" and two years later placed it among the nine best towns in Yorkshire and the North-East. Steam railways with regular excursions are available at Embsay and Bolton Abbey, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton with the 1 mile long Foulridge Tunnel and the 5-rise locks at Bingley within a short travel. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available locally and the excellent public transport means the car can be left at home!
