Sellers comments

Bank Fold is like a little hamlet carved out of the Belthorn hillside. With neighbours, hikers, cyclists and dog walkers dotted amongst the twists and turns of the lush lane, it's tranquil but not isolated. A short walk to the village pub, the junior school, or further afield to the river, reservoire and woodlands, it's a wonderful family base. A short drive to the M65 and M66, it's perfect for connections to neighbouring towns and beyond. We are treated to beautiful sunsets and amazing fireworks displays from the back garden and regularly spot wild deer, rabbits and birds from the front courtyard. We have loved living here and know the next family will too.
