Outside there are sweet cottage gardens to the front, a generous back garden, private parking for one car and small outbuilding. In a highly accessible location, close to The Yorkshire Dales Park, the cottage will appeal to those who need great accessibility for jobs, schools and travel, who like to see the world pass by and who don’t want to be isolated and stuck up a track. www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to THE OLD POST OFFICE £225,000 4 Coniston Cold, Coniston Cold, near Skipton, BD23 4EA The Old Post Office, a two storey stone and flag mid-terrace cottage, will appeal to many buyers, particularly those looking for a project.
