Inside

A unique Listed farmhouse dating from the 16th Century, with a late 20th Century extension and six bedrooms, located in the picturesque Eden Valley village of Maulds Meaburn, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The residence is on a large elevated plot with open views of the Lyvennet Valley and beck. The property is filled with character and charm. The village was described by Hunter Davies as “one of the most beautiful villages in the country.” A cottage gate and pathway leads through the front gardens to the main entrance and vestibule area. Off the hallway are the two main reception rooms, one currently serving as a sitting room/library, with ornate open fireplace and original window panelling to frame the view. The spacious living room is in the oldest section of the property and retains many historic features, including panelling, the original cooking hearth and a magnificent limestone fire surround, with modern wood burning stove. To the centre of the ground floor is a large open hallway with WC, laundry cupboard and butler’s pantry/cloakroom. The rear stable door opens on to the back yard. In 1992 an extension was added, which houses the kitchen and dining room. The good-sized kitchen has free standing stainless steel units and a two-oven Aga alongside the electric cooker. The kitchen and dining room open out onto the conservatory, with French doors to the patio and vegetable garden. From the front hallway an original open stairwell leads to a first floor with landing area, dressing room and six bedrooms, one currently serving as a study. The three front bedrooms all have beautiful sash windows and window seats to sit and enjoy the magnificent views of the valley. Four of the bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms, with one also having an original roll top bath in the bedroom. In the rear extension the two bedrooms share the family bathroom, with roll top bath and walk-in rain shower.
