Nestled in a cluster of period houses, Hobstones is a picturesque and charming stone and slate Grade II Listed Dales farmhouse in an idyllic hamlet setting.
Dating back to the late 17th/early 18th Century, Hobstones was originally a farmhouse with an attached barn, with the barn later incorporated with the house. The property was developed further with a single storey extension to the rear.
The accommodation is set over two floors with a gross internal area of c. 1782 sq ft (165.6 sq m).
Refurbished over recent years, the immensely stylish and contemporary accommodation sits beautifully alongside the period features (ceiling and cruck beams, timber upright, oak and stone lintels and tongue and bead boarded doors, some with Suffolk latches) to create an inviting and welcoming home.
Let us take you on a guided tour...
Come on in through the part glazed door and into a spacious entrance hall with understairs cupboard.
Enjoying garden views and glimpses towards the fells, the dual aspect sitting room has a stone fireplace with a Morso woodburning stove set on a flagged hearth.
The living/dining kitchen is a wonderfully sociable and generous space - the dining area has French windows opening out to the leafy rear courtyard and terrace. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall units and a Smeg electric stove with induction hob. It's a splendid light and bright room with two conservation skylight windows.
The entrance hall is open to the inner hall with built-in cupboard housing the boiler.
Backing up the kitchen is a practical utility/laundry room with base and wall units, a Belfast sink and space for undercounter washing machine, tumble drier and dishwasher. There is also a two piece cloakroom off.
The oak, full return staircase leads up to the attractive vaulted landing with built-in cupboards, one housing the hot water cylinder.
There are three bedrooms - two doubles overlooking the gardens, one with large undereaves storage and a large single, being open to the apex with field views, currently used as a study.
To complete the picture is a three piece bathroom with conservation skylight window.

There are two divorced garden areas - one to the southeast of the property with private gravel parking for two/three cars, level lawn, timber shed, rockery and a bench with fell views.
The second is to the east of the farmhouse with lawn, mature shrubs and trees. There is a flagged seating terrace with a bench perfectly placed from which to sit, unwind and enjoy the stunning far reaching valley views.
