A delightful three bedroomed cottage situated in the heart of this picturesque and sought after Malhamdale village suitable for permanent living, second home or holiday letting.
Offering spacious accommodation with good sized gardens and patio areas, off-street parking and a useful garden room and store which has potential, subject to consents, for alternative uses.

LOCATION
Set in the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the picturesque village of Kirkby Malham is located approximately ten miles to the north-west of the market town of Skipton and approximately five miles east of the market town of Settle. Both market towns offer a wide range of amenities including well respected Grammar Schools.
From these towns road and rail links are excellent to the major business districts of West Yorkshire and East Lancashire and Skipton boasts a direct line to London Kings Cross.
The property is situated in the heart of the village, opposite the churchyard of the parish church of St Michael the Archangel commonly referred to as “the Cathedral of the Dales”. There is a highly regarded Primary School just up the road for which a bus service is available from right outside the door.
The village is also home to the well reviewed Victoria Inn and is set slightly apart from the tourist bustle of Malham a short distance up the road.
