Wears Fold, Kettlewell, Skipton

PROPERTY DETAILS
Set in an enviable rural position within the heart of Kettlewell and directly on the renowned Dales Way, Wears Fold is a charming period cottage that perfectly combines traditional Yorkshire Dales character with thoughtful modern improvements. Beautifully redesigned and lovingly cared for by the current owners, this delightful home offers wonderfully versatile accommodation, exceptional views and a truly idyllic setting.
The handsome stone-built, two-storey cottage has been sympathetically extended over the years and retains a wealth of character features, including exposed stonework, timber detailing and impressive beams, together with an open fire creating a warm and inviting focal point. The accommodation is particularly versatile, comprising two reception rooms, one of which could readily be used as a fourth bedroom, with three further generous bedrooms arranged on the first floor. The upper-floor bedrooms make the most of the outstanding views across the surrounding Dales landscape.
The recently installed modern shower rooms provide a stylish contemporary touch, complementing the period character found throughout the remainder of the property.
Outside, the cottage enjoys an attractive level paved garden, enclosed in part by traditional dry stone walling which runs alongside the property, creating a wonderfully private and quintessentially Dales setting. A short distance along the lane, the property benefits from off-road parking for three vehicles, with an attractive outlook over the beck — a particularly valuable feature in such a picturesque village location.
The property is served by mains water, electricity and drainage, with oil-fired central heating and double glazing.
