Property description
A high quality three bedroom dales home, surprisingly large and with easily managed gardens and excellent parking. Centrally located in this ever popular Upper Wharfedale village.
Holly Cottage is a well planned and superbly finished country home which provides warm and welcoming accommodation arranged over two storeys. Over recent years this stone built property which sits under a pitched roof has been subject to a substantial programme of upgrading and improvement. The high quality bespoke country breakfast kitchen has a fitted Aga and there is a superb sitting room with Inglenook fireplace as well as a dining room and downstairs WC. To the upper storey are three good sized bedrooms and a superb bathroom with quality oak fittings. Outside there is a cottage front garden with a stone flagged drive whilst to the rear enjoys a southerly facing enclosed area ideal for summer entertaining.
The unspoilt community of Starbotton is set towards the upper reaches of the Wharfe Valley and is surrounded by the dramatic open countryside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A typical Dales community, the village has its own public house whilst a general store is to be found in both the neighbouring villages of Kettlewell and Buckden. More extensive facilities are available approximately nine miles distant in the bustling village of Grassington whilst Skipton is the principal market town for the area. Here can be found a comprehensive range of quality shops, supermarkets and recreational amenities together with the highly regarded Ermysted's Grammar and Skipton Girls High Schools. The West Yorkshire and East Lancashire business conurbations are within daily commuting distance.
