Craggley Cottage, West Burton...

The main part of West Burton is set around the large village green but leading to and from the green are two narrow streets known colloquially as the Front and Back Nooks. Craggley Cottage stands as part of a traditional terrace on the Back Nook.

Entry to the cottage is through a small flagged hallway to a cosy lounge with exposed ceiling joists and a stylish Victorian arched fireplace with an ornate pine surround. Through the lounge, to the rear of the cottage, is a beautifully fitted and well equipped kitchen with dining area. Off the kitchen is a small hall, which leads to the garden, with a separate cloakroom/drying room.

A stairway rises from the lounge to a landing serving a bedroom with an original fireplace and king size bed, a smaller bedroom with twin beds and a tiled bathroom with bath, power shower, washbasin and toilet. The bathroom has a vaulted ceiling with a roof-light filling the room with a natural radiance.

Behind the cottage is a patio garden with floral borders that leads out to a large lawned garden. The gardens are peaceful and private with wonderful views through Bishopdale and into Wensleydale. A gate from the large garden leads out over the adjacent field to a nearby footpath serving the village.

The cottage is a recent renovation which has been carried out sympathetically and with meticulous care and attention to detail. The retention of original features and the addition of period fixtures and furnishings emphasise the character of the property. A snug and charming cottage with all the comforts of home in a very traditional atmosphere.

An exceptional cottage certainly worthy of its four star rating.
