Situated less than half a mile from the heart of Pateley Bridge, this charming Yorkshire longhouse in Upper Nidderdale boasts sweeping dale views and is a wonderful base for families or friends exploring one of Yorkshire’s most picturesque market towns. Complete with roaring wood burners and sprawling gardens, you and your tail-wagger can enjoy a Yorkshire escape at any time of the year.
Enter through a rose-clad doorway into a practical boot room, handy for muddy boots and wet paws after countryside walks. Unwind in the snug/library, where a wood burner, a wall of books, and antique sofas create a cosy retreat for relaxing with your four-legged companion. Discover the generous lounge with deep window seats framing the dale views, a centrally placed wood burner, plush sofas, a Smart TV, and a games chest. The south-facing kitchen and dining area is flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, with a breakfast bar for a pre-walk coffee and a dining table for leisurely meals. A utility room makes longer stays hassle-free. Upstairs, four inviting bedrooms await. The master king-size suite has exposed beams, a roll-top bath at the foot of the bed, an en-suite shower room with a rain shower, and a library wall with a sliding ladder. A second king-size bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while a double and a super-king (or twin) share the family bathroom. Outside, two terraced lawns and carefully tended borders wrap the property, while a walled kitchen garden overlooks a wildflower meadow. Savour al fresco dining at the large table with seating for up to 25, fire up the BBQ, and harvest seasonal vegetables. Guests can challenge each other to a game of table tennis, while the meadow features swings, a badminton lawn, and a trampoline. Private off-street parking accommodates several cars.
In Pateley Bridge, visit independent shops, inviting pubs, and a network of quaint alleyways while you walk the pup. Take a gentle riverside stroll along the River Nidd, or venture 4.5 miles to Brimham Rocks to marvel at the dramatic, sculpted rock formations. For history hounds on the lead, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden (9 miles) blend medieval ruins with stunning 18th-century landscaping.
