Cairn View, Preston Under Scar, Leyburn, DL8 4AH

An attractive and beautifully-presented detached period cottage with superb views across the Yorkshire Dales to the rear.

Situation And Amenities - Preston under Scar sits on the south-facing side of Wensleydale and offers a variety of footpaths and walks along with links to the nearby villages of Redmire and Wensley, both of which have public houses. Its elevated position gives some of the most wonderful views to be had in the Dales and in particular of Pen Hill which stands on the opposite side of the valley.

This desirable village has a thriving local community. The village also benefits from being within close proximity of Leyburn, which provides a variety of amenities including national and independent shops, a Co-Operative and Campbells supermarket, pubs and eateries as well as cafes, a sports centre and the renowned Tennants.

The village has good access to the A1 (M) approximately 25 minutes' drive away (12 miles) and there is a mainline railway station at Northallerton (22 miles) providing direct access to London Kings Cross and Edinburgh in just over two hours.
