About this property
Situated on the outskirts of Threshfield, a stones throw from the River Wharf and Linton Falls, is this delightful, four star visit England accredited end-terrace cottage. Set over three floors, with a homely AGA, woodburning stove and bright, spacious bedrooms, it is the perfect choice for families and friends exploring the Yorkshire Dales. The ground floor is made up of a large, comfortable kitchen where you can sit around the table and discuss the days adventures while tasty meals are being prepared. After a good meal, and a long walk, everyone can retire to the sitting room and relax by the woodburner whilst you decide where to explore next.
On the first floor are two good-sized bedrooms, one with a lovely en-suite with a large walk-in shower, as well as a family bathroom. Up on the second floor, in a fantastic loft space enjoying pretty views of the river from the eaves window, are twin beds and an additional pull-out stacker bed for flexibility. Outside the cottage is pure tranquillity, where you can often hear beautiful birdsong and the river as it rushes by. You can easily walk down to the picturesque Linton Falls, or venture into Threshfield for a bite to eat at the local pub. There are an abundance of walks to enjoy through the Dales, and a visit to Grassington, Skipton and Bolton Abbey are an absolute must!
A fabulous little cottage in a wonderful location!
