4 Bed in Pateley Bridge (oc-s34135)

Perfectly placed less than half a mile from the centre of Pateley Bridge, this characterful Yorkshire longhouse in Upper Nidderdale with sweeping dale views is a fantastic base for families or friends looking to discover one of Yorkshire’s prettiest market towns. Step out the door and you’re greeted by independent shops, welcoming pubs and a maze of quaint alleyways to wander. Enjoy a gentle walk alongside the River Nidd. Explore Brimham Rocks (4.5 miles), you can marvel at the dramatic, otherworldly rock formations sculpted by nature over millions of years. Further afield, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden (9 miles) boasts a captivating mix of medieval ruins and beautifully landscaped 18th-century gardens. The cathedral city of Ripon (11 miles) is another lovely day out, where you can explore the historic cathedral, visit Ripon Spa Baths, or roam the adjacent spa gardens. The elegant spa town of Harrogate is a 15-mile drive away, with its boutiques, cafes and beautiful parks.

Step through a rose-clad entrance to a practical boot room, ideal after days in the hills. Settle in the cosy snug/library where a wood burner, a wall of books and antique sofas create a welcoming reading den. The converted barn room, once a hay store, is now a generous lounge with deep window seats framing dale views, a centrally placed wood burner, generous sofas, a Smart TV and a games chest for relaxed evenings. The bright, south-facing kitchen and dining space has floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light, a breakfast bar for a pre-walk coffee and a dining table for long, unhurried meals. A utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer is handy for longer stays. Upstairs, four comfortable bedrooms await. The standout master king-size suite has exposed beams, a roll-top bath at the foot of the bed for soaking while you admire the view or watch TV, plus an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and a striking library wall with sliding ladder. A second king-size bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms, a double, and a super-king-size (or set up as twin) share the family bathroom.

Outside, landscaped and wildlife-friendly spaces blend beautifully. Two terraced lawns and tended borders wrap the house, while a generous walled kitchen garden overlooks a wildflower meadow. Dine together in style with seating for up to 25 and a BBQ, then pick herbs, cut flowers and seasonal vegetables. Keen competitors will love the table tennis table. Step down into the meadow to find swings, a badminton lawn and a large trampoline to keep younger guests entertained; please note that access to the meadow involves steps. Private off-street parking for several cars is available.
