Owner's Insight - Ghyll Holme is a haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of this vibrant village, being set back off the Main Street. It is in a perfect location for village amenities - directly opposite the village shop, and half-way between the two pubs.

Both front and rear gardens are a riot of colour and a source of delight throughout the year, with fruit trees - apple, pear and peach. The front garden is bounded by an ancient wall (Georgian or earlier). We enjoy the peace and privacy of the gardens. We wake up to views over the Wensleydale valley and hills and can watch beautiful sunsets in the evening. We enjoy regular walks in the National Park.

The house is light and spacious with cosy areas for relaxing. We have lovingly updated it so that it is practical for modern living yet retains characterful features from its previous life as a farmhouse, such as the old dairy (now the third bedroom), wide Victorian floorboards in the living room and original hooks for hanging game in the kitchen.
