Yoredale Cottage, Thornton Rust

Yoredale Cottage is a most attractive Grade II Listed character property, which is delightfully situated on the village green in the popular rural village of Thornton Rust. The property is in excellent order having undergone an extensive yet sympathetic programme of updating and refurbishment throughout the vendors' ownership.

The house is entered via a front door in the garden, or more usually via a traditional inner hall which is flagged and has exposed stone walls providing access into the kitchen, sitting room and beyond to a door leading out to the garden at the rear. The kitchen is well equipped and features a good range of wall and base units, complemented by appliances including a double electric oven with grill and microwave, inductions hob, undercounter fridge freezer, dishwasher and  a larder cupboard. The vendors use the ample space and full-length view onto the green as a dining area. The floor is tiled in Jura Limestone and underfloor heated throughout.

Across the hall is a living room which also features under floor heating with original stone flagged floor. There is an impressive inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove and intramural cupboards. There is a window to the front with a traditional seat and a door leading out to the enclosed front garden.

Through is a second sitting room or parlour, with a cast iron fireplace and open fire, again with traditional window seat and cast iron radiator. A utility room has fitted units, a sink with drainer and plumbing for a washing machine and features exposed beams. There is also a ground floor wet room with a WC, basin and walk in shower. This is fully tiled and also has a heated towel rail.

A traditional stone staircase leads to the first floor  where there are three double bedrooms, each enjoying lovely views of the village and surrounding countryside. There is a part-tiled house bathroom with WC, basin, freestanding bath and original boarded floor. Usefully, there is an office/ fourth bedroom of good proportions, with fitted units.  This has many potential uses including an art studio, home office, nursery or playroom and has external stone steps leading out of this room to the front of the property.

Externally the property is complemented by a pretty cottage style garden to the front with a further garden to the rear featuring a mix of flower beds, borders, and a raised decked area with ample space for seating to enjoy the view across Wensleydale. Just beyond the garden is a lower area or garth which leads down the bank with trees, flowers and shrubs.
