The Old Post Office, Carperby...

Almost central to the village the Old Post Office stands as part of a traditional terrace looking south across open meadows and out over Wensleydale towards Penhill. Entry is to a cosy lounge with beamed ceiling and stone fireplace with flagged hearth.  Through the lounge, to the rear of the cottage, is a beautifully fitted kitchen with beamed ceiling, flagged floor and the original beamed fireplace recess that has been retained as a spectacular feature to house the cooker and hob. This in turn leads to a tiny south facing garden, a quiet place to sit and enjoy the stunning view.

A short, steep stairway with pine balustrade rises from the kitchen to the first floor with two single bedrooms, one with a 2’6” bed, and a bathroom with bath, shower washbasin and toilet.

From the front bedroom a second stairway leads to a double bedroom with exposed rafters and purlins and polished pine floor. A roof-light bathes the room in soft glows and is a window on the glittering night sky.

The cottage has been meticulously and lovingly refurbished with attention to fine detail and a desire to uphold tradition yet provide modern comfort. The exposure of original features coupled with colourful furnishings, period fixtures and innovation in the use of space and light give this cottage style and character as well as comfort and warmth. A cosy cottage indeed.
