Description
Croft Cottage is a charming and deceptively spacious ,character cottage, situated in the sought-after village of Hartley, close to Kirkby Stephen.
Hartley is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a gentle stream running through its centre and an appealing collection of traditional properties set on either side. As a no-through road, traffic is minimal, creating a tranquil setting ideal for those seeking a quieter pace of life. The surrounding area provides an abundance of scenic walks directly from the doorstep, including the renowned Coast to Coast route. Positioned within the heart of the Eden Valley, the property enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside, an array of visiting wildlife and the occasional sighting of red squirrels.
This 4 bedroom cottage offers a wealth of character and boasts generous, versatile accommodation.
The property features a bespoke country-style kitchen, with an oil fired Stanley Rayburn, a spacious lounge and a cosy snug, together with a fantastic open-plan conservatory/extension incorporating both dining and sitting areas. The extension provides a superb everyday living space, making the most of the outlook over the garden.
Flowing directly from the kitchen is an excellent utility room, which is far more than a traditional utility and essentially provides a second kitchen/preparation space. There is also a useful ground floor WC.
To the first floor are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, together with a well-appointed house bathroom. The property also benefits from an excellent attic room, currently providing extensive storage space but offering scope for further development, subject to the necessary consents.
Outside, the property has a particularly attractive and generous landscaped garden, which has been thoughtfully designed to create a number of different areas to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Stone-flagged patios and pathways provide attractive, low-maintenance seating areas, with established planting, mature shrubs and cottage-style borders adding colour and interest throughout the seasons. The garden enjoys an open aspect, with lovely views to the adjoining field beyond, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy. There are several natural suntraps throughout the garden, making it an ideal space for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside.
The property also benefits from ample off-road parking and a substantial stone outbuilding, which offers excellent potential for a home office, studio, craft room or similar use, subject to any necessary consents. The combination of the traditional stone building, landscaped gardens and open countryside setting gives the outside space a real sense of character and charm.
A characterful and unusually spacious village home, combining traditional features with excellent living accommodation, superb gardens and an enviable rural outlook.
