Timeless British architecture meets contemporary design at this charming cottage in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Boasting high vaulted ceilings and polished wooden floors, this place is wonderfully bright and open, yet still offers all of the home comforts expected to be found in the valleys and beautiful countryside. Located in the quaint village of Preston-upon-Scar, just a seven-minute drive from Leyburn, five minutes from Wensley and twenty minutes or so from Richmond and it's celebrated castle. Don your finest walking boots and head off into the rambling hills and winding country roads for a day of adventure, knowing your comfortable pad awaits on your return. Put your feet up and reward yourself with a cup of Yorkshire tea in the stylish living space. When the weather is warm, you'll love soaking up the sunshine from your terrace, overlooking the rolling fields. Rustle up hearty homecooked meals in the sleek kitchen, equipped with modern finishes and marble countertops. And, when it's time to hit the hay, the sumptuous main bedroom will lull you into a restful slumber, ready to do it all over again, come morning.
