HEATHERDENE - Cottage Set In The Midst Of The Yorkshire Dales With Amazing Views

Richmond, North Yorkshire

Heatherdene is an elegantly renovated Grade II listed home located in Richmond, North Yorkshire, in the northern part of England. Set amidst the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park, this charming property offers a glimpse into heart-warming Yorkshire country living. The house, built from warm York stone, was once a mine manager's home and is surrounded by scenic pastoral land where local sheep graze freely.

Despite its historic charm, Heatherdene features modern amenities such as an electric AGA in the kitchen, underfloor heating in the sitting room, and Hypnos mattresses in the spacious bedrooms. The property is ideal for keen walkers, as it is situated on Wainwright's 'Coast to Coast' trail and near the Pennine Way, with various walking trails accessible from the doorstep. Cycling enthusiasts can explore local mountain bike trails and tackle the famous Buttertubs Pass nearby.

Guests can enjoy al fresco dining with the provided picnic hamper and BBQ on the terrace, as well as visit the neighbourhood gastropub, the Punch Bowl Inn, for delicious seasonal, local food. The property features a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining room, and three bedrooms - one with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, there is a patio area with garden furniture and a charcoal barbecue, along with parking for two cars.

Please note that due to the nature of the property, it is only suitable for children over the age of 12 years old, and dogs are not allowed. Heatherdene offers guest amenities such as bed linen, towels, and hairdryers, with Wi-Fi available but with a slow connection due to the rural location. Heating is provided through a wood-burning stove, underfloor heating, and radiators. Access to the property is via a steep and narrow single track road, with caution advised for low-based vehicles.
