House in North Yorkshire

Gunnerside is one of the prettiest villages in the Dales National Park. Surrounded by scenic walking, traditional farm meadows, pastures, and fells, the Gunnerside Beck running through the village provides miles of glorious routes. Go hiking along the famous Pennine Way, cycling through the winding trails, or simply enjoy leisurely walks amidst the captivating landscape and return to the Village pub to join the locals. Travel just 6 miles east and you will find the dales village of Reeth. Amongst the cluster of old stone houses, there are local bakeries, an ice cream parlour and tea rooms, whilst the village pubs serve food at lunchtime and in the evening. Friday is market day on Reeth Green, where you can haggle away and find a range of unique local crafts and produce. This property dates back to the late 17th Century, seamlessly combining many of the original features, such as the stone built bread oven, exposed stone floor and the lovely old beams.
