Guide Price £375,000 - £395,000<br/><br/>Rose Dene is a charming and characterful, semi detached stone cottage, enviably situated in the heart of the sought-after village of Gunnerside in Swaledale. The property offers a wonderful combination of traditional character, comfortable accommodation and flexible living space, with the added benefit of a self-contained annexe, making it ideal for guests, family members or those seeking additional independent accommodation.<br/><br/>The main cottage provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. To the ground floor is an entrance hall leading to a welcoming living room, together with a particularly spacious kitchen/diner providing an excellent area for both everyday living and entertaining. To the first floor are two bedrooms, complemented by the self-contained annexe which comprises a living area, bedroom and ensuite shower room. The annexe can be accessed either via an integral connecting door from the main house or independently through an external door to the side, providing excellent flexibility of use.<br/><br/>Externally, the property enjoys attractive outdoor spaces to both the front and rear. To the front is a courtyard area with space for parking two cars. To the rear is a delightful south-facing patio, creating a sheltered sun trap and an ideal spot to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Stone shelves provide useful space for displaying plants and shrubs, while a stable door provides access from the garden and allows for fantastic views whilst helping to keep pets secure. The property also benefits from a good sized workshop with power light and plumbing.<br/><br/>Gunnerside is a highly regarded village within the stunning Swaledale valley and benefits from a strong community spirit. Local amenities include a popular community-owned pub, church, primary school, tearoom and village hall, which hosts a range of activities including a monthly film night. The village is also ideally placed for those who enjoy walking and the outdoors, with numerous routes accessible from the doorstep, including sections of the Pennine Way and Coast-to-Coast routes. The beautiful River Swale is also just a few minutes' walk away.<br/><br/>The nearby market towns of Reeth and Hawes are approximately 6 miles and 10 miles respectively, offering a wider range of shops, pubs, cafés and everyday amenities. Rose Dene therefore provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful home in a beautiful Yorkshire Dales setting, with the added versatility of a self-contained annexe.
