Rathmell, Settle, BD24

A spacious three bedroom home with two reception rooms, two generous attic rooms, garden and off street parking, situated on the edge of Rathmell village. Flexible home with no onward chain. Internal viewing highly recommended.

Old Cross Keys is an elegant, character-rich and substantial period property, steeped in history and brimming with charm. Nestled on the edge of the picturesque village of Rathmell, near the market town of Settle, this exceptional home offers spacious accommodation across three floors (plus cellar), ideal for modern living while retaining its character. The property has been re-roofed within the last 12 years

The stone-built, Grade II-listed building briefly comprises; entrance hall, two generous reception rooms with mullioned windows and beamed ceilings, separate kitchen, utility room, wc and pantry. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and houses a burgundy electric AGA.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms and house bathroom (over two rooms): includes shower enclosure and free-standing cast-iron bath. To the second floor are two generous attic/hobby rooms which offer great versatility. A vaulted cellar provides useful storage and character.

Outside, there is a charming cottage-style garden to the front with mature shrubs, patio and off-street parking. Gated rear yard, walled with oil tank for central heating.

Why This Property Stands Out

Historic character meets modern comfort: Listed mid-18th century, with 19th/20th-century updates.

Space in abundance: Especially rare to find attic/hobby rooms of such scale in this kind of period property.

Superb layout for family life: Two reception rooms, kitchen and separate utility, three generous bedrooms, and hobby rooms — flexible enough for a home-office, studio or play area.

Outdoor appeal: Garden, parking and amenity space all in village setting — ideal for families or couples who enjoy outdoor living and countryside access.
