Property description
A very substantial and characterful village home offering five double bedroom accommodation, beautifully equipped throughout and with great character, as well as a flagged garden to the rear and cobbled forecourt parking.
EARLY VACANT POSSESSION AVAILABLE
Holly Cottage is situated on Town Head which runs from Chapel Street at the top of Grassington Main Street. Although it is only a couple of hundred yards from the hustle and bustle of the town, it is in a quiet backwater and benefits from a good open aspect at the front. This is a truly charming village home and offers substantial and spacious accommodation which has been carefully modernised and re-equipped, without detracting from any of its inherent character features. The whole of the ground floor benefits from sealed stone flagging, with a generous sitting room, dining area and smartly fitted kitchen. There is also a utility room and ground floor cloakroom. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a generous house bathroom, with a further bathroom and two double bedrooms on the second floor. The staircase and flooring on the two upper floors are oak, complimented by oak-effect internal doors throughout (fire doors due to the property having been let as a holiday cottage) The property is heated throughout by a gas fired radiator system and there is also underfloor heating on the ground floor.
A colourful and thriving Dales village, Grassington is rarely quiet! Its Main Street street is usually bustling with activity, be it local shoppers or visitors. Grassington is a village which effectively combines its roles of both a robust local community with being one of the most popular Dales' villages for visitors to this beautiful part of Upper Wharfedale. Set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it is renowned for its rolling and sometimes rugged scenery from the meandering walks alongside the River Wharfe to the upper reaches of the village where the original lead mines can still be seen. Within the village, there is a bus station, primary school, secondary school at nearby Threshfield, and an excellent range of everyday and specialist shops, as well as a choice of eating establishments and hostelries. The Town Hall has a busy programme of events, supplemented in summer by the acclaimed Grassington Festival and in winter by the Dickensian weekend.
