Hatters Cottage, Masongill, LA6 3NN

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Hatters Cottage:

1. A winning location - situated in an attractive and peaceful, rural village surrounded by scenic countryside with a splendid garden and views of the village and distant hills.

2. Historical note - Hatters Cottage has changed greatly since it was built in the 1600's, as a succession of owners, including one who made silk top hats, have extended, reconfigured and enhanced the accommodation over time.

3. Deceptively spacious and well-presented accommodation with a gross internal measurement of 2080 sq ft (193.2 sq m).

4. A splendid garden room which not only affords great views over the garden, but cleverly links the kitchen and sitting room providing a natural flow between spaces - lovely for both everyday living and entertaining. Being open to the apex, it has exposed stone walls, stone floor and window cills. A doorway with attractive stone arch leads into a useful cloak room with access to the garage.

5. The welcoming dining kitchen is open to the garden room with the stone floor continuing and is fitted with base and wall units, pantry cupboard, pot sink, Neff gas ring with electric hobs either side and double oven with warming drawer, dishwasher and Smeg fridge/freezer. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room with a terracotta tiled floor, pot sink and a WC.

6. Generous sitting room - with oak floor, a multi-fuel stove set in a stone fireplace with flag hearth to one end and a range of fitted open bookshelves to the other. Centrally, there is a solid oak door with inset glasswork depicting a top hat, which was commissioned by a local artist. An oak staircase leads to the first floor.

7. Sleep tight - off the landing are two double bedrooms and a third single, currently used as an office/study. The spacious principal suite has a triple aspect double bedroom, with glazed double doors leading out to the stone steps with wrought railings and splendid far reaching views, a three piece en suite shower room and a dressing room, comprehensively fitted with bespoke open fronted wardrobes, shelving and drawers. Bedroom 2 has a built-in cupboard currently used as a laundry cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine and condenser tumble drier. Bedroom 3 is dual aspect and enjoys lovely garden and countryside views and is fitted with an oak desk, cupboards and drawers as well two double wardrobes. To complete the picture, there is a three piece bathroom having a roll top bath with shower attachment.

8. Garaging and parking - double wooden gates open to a gravel driveway with parking for two/three cars and a log store. The integral single garage has double open doors, power, light and large stainless steel work chests to one wall.

9. Delightful, established and well stocked garden to the rear with stone wall boundary providing privacy and seclusion. Level lawn, deep planted borders, fruit trees and timber shed. External stone steps with wood store.

10. An accessible village and a great base for exploring the magnificent Yorkshire Dales.
