Clarks Cottage, Dent, Sedbergh, LA10

Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Clarks Cottage is a charming five-bedroom detached home full of character and warmth. Currently operating as a very successful holiday let, the property offers an excellent opportunity to purchase either a much-loved family residence or a ready-made business venture, sold as a going concern if desired.

Inside, the accommodation is thoughtfully laid out to cater to both large families and groups. The property boasts three beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms in addition to a further two double bedrooms served by a spacious family bathroom. The centrepiece of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed to be the social hub of the cottage. With its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and wood-burning stove, it provides the perfect atmosphere for cosy evenings after a day exploring the Dales. Double doors open directly onto the outside space, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances yet retains a traditional country feel, complemented by exposed stonework and bespoke wooden cabinetry. Whether used as a private home or for guests, this is a property that balances practicality with undeniable charm.

Outside, there is ample space for parking, mature planting and areas to sit out and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The cottage is framed by rolling hills and valleys, offering breathtaking views that change with the seasons.

Dent itself is one of the most picturesque villages in Cumbria, often described as a hidden gem of the Yorkshire Dales. Famous for its cobbled streets, historic stone cottages and welcoming pubs, it offers a glimpse of a bygone era while still providing a vibrant community atmosphere. Dent is also known for its rich history—once a centre for hand-knitting in the 18th century, it later became renowned for its farming heritage and traditional ways of life that still echo through the village today. The surrounding countryside is a haven for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. From gentle riverside strolls along the River Dee to more challenging climbs up the nearby Howgill Fells, the landscape is as varied as it is beautiful. The Settle to Carlisle railway also passes through Dent, with Dent Station being the highest mainline station in England, offering both scenic journeys and excellent transport links. Clarks Cottage therefore represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of real character in one of the Dales’ most sought-after locations—whether as a permanent residence, a countryside retreat, or a thriving holiday let business.
