Skipton Road, Steeton

PROPERTY DETAILS
Forge Cottage is a charming, character-filled, stone-built three-bedroom home, believed to date back to around 1850. Nestled behind a modest roadside frontage, this delightful cottage conceals a wealth of beautifully presented accommodation that simply must be experienced first-hand to be fully appreciated.

Lovingly maintained and significantly upgraded by its current owners, the property combines timeless character with modern comforts, creating a home that is both inviting and ready to move into. From the moment you step through the front door, you’re welcomed into an entrance hall with an enclosed staircase rising to the first floor.

The sitting room is truly the heart of the home — a warm and inviting space featuring a stunning inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove, complemented by exposed ceiling beams. Bespoke shutters frame the front and side-facing windows, adding both charm and privacy.

The dining kitchen is equally impressive — a superbly appointed space fitted with granite worktops, a classic Belfast-style sink and integrated appliances. Twin rear windows flood the room with natural light, while a door provides access to the rear garden.

On the lower ground floor, a vaulted cellar offers useful storage with the benefit of power and light.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three bedrooms. The master bedroom is a generous double, enjoying twin windows that overlook the courtyard. There is a further double bedroom, while the single bedroom features an open-tread staircase leading up to a loft area — a beautifully presented and versatile space with two Velux windows, power, lighting and handy storage under the eaves.

Outside, the cottage offers a paved rear seating area bordered by mature planting, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A detached single garage with power and lighting stands to the side, with additional parking directly in front.

Positioned in a sought-after part of Steeton, this home enjoys a tucked-away setting while remaining close to village amenities — including a local shop, convenience store, welcoming pub and primary school — with excellent bus and rail links just a short stroll away.

If you’re searching for a beautifully presented cottage that offers space, style, character, outdoor living and its own garage, Forge Cottage is well worth your attention.
