Gargrave 2.7 miles. Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Bell Busk, near the quaint village of Gargrave on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is this delightful single-storey barn conversion, Ash Cottage. This beautifully renovated holiday home offers a charming setting for a romantic escape to North Yorkshire. You're greeted by a extensive driveway upon arrival to the property, shared with the guests of the owner's nearby B&B, offering a handy place to leave the car and head off on foot to explore your picturesque surroundings. Entering into the property you're welcomed into the open-plan living/dining room, decorated with a combination of both contemporary and character features, with exposed wooden beams decorating the vaulted ceiling overhead and flooded with light welcomed in through the bronzed window, where you can take advantage of the views across the River Aire at the front of the property whilst maintaining your privacy. After a busy day, put your feet up on the rustic chesterfield sofa and enjoy a spot of television, heating the room with the warmth from the electric log burner in the cooler evenings, before continuing through to the contemporary fitted kitchen, well equipped with all of the necessities required to prepare an intimate meal to enjoy with your significant other at the dining table. Head outside to enjoy a refreshing glass of wine, chilled in the elegant cooler, taking in the peaceful setting of your private patio area, or socialize with a seat in the shared gardens, boasting breath-taking views across the distant countryside. As the day draws to a close, rest your head in the king-size bedroom, featuring a traditional solid oak four poster bed and framing delightful views of the Yorkshire Dales through the window. In the morning, prepare for another day of adventure in the contemporary bathroom, tiled throughout and fit with a spacious walk-in shower cubicle.
