Allendale is a beautiful detached cottage in the lovely village of Hartley, near Kirkby Stephen.
Hartley is a quiet, pretty village with a stream running through the middle and attractive houses on either side. As a no through road it has little traffic and there are beautiful walks from the door, including the famous Coast to Coast walk which passes through. Set in the heart of the stunning Eden Valley, there are lovely views over open countryside, a wide variety of visiting birds and even frequent red squirrels.
The popular town of Kirkby Stephen is only half a mile away with a wide range of shops, restaurants & pubs, church, doctor's surgery and a reputable primary & grammar school.
The cottage is believed to date back to the 1700's when it was a barn to the farm next door. It was made habitable in the 1930's to house workers from the nearby former limestone quarry.
