Description

Beautiful three bedroom cottage in the most enviable of locations!

Dating back to the early 1700s, this stunning mid-terrace cottage converted from a former farmhouse, has been brought to the market for the first time in 40 years, with no onward chain. Filled with character and original features throughout.

Fold House sits in the most enviable position with unrivalled views from the generous secluded garden to the rear, not to mention the deceptively spacious accommodation throughout.

The property would suit a number of buyers including those looking for a quality holiday let, or wanting to downsize to this popular Dales Village. Early inspection is highly recommended to appreciate the space and character on offer with this beautiful cottage.

Grassington is one of the most popular of Dales villages with a strong and thriving local community, but is also a hub for visitors to this spectacular part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park with its magnificent Wharfedale scenery. Nine miles north of Skipton, Grassington has an excellent range of local and quality shops as well as a choice of well-patronised public houses and restaurants. The Town Hall provides a wide array of events throughout the year and plays host to the annual Grassington Arts Festival as well as the Dickensian Festival Weekends each November/December. Also in the village is a Primary School and Health Centre, with Upper Wharfedale Secondary School and Upper Wharfedale Rugby Union Club at Threshfield just a mile away.
