Fell House, Hartley

Fell House is a magnificent stone-built property, formerly a traditional farmhouse with two attached barns and substantially renovated by the current owners during their 23-year tenure. Set in a dramatically wild and secluded position on the threshold of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within easy reach of the Lake District, the property lies on the popular Coast to Coast national trail and overlooks the beautiful Eden Valley. It features rugged stone elevations, while inside the accommodation is inviting and elegant, complemented by far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape.

The beautifully presented hall-cum-dining space acts as a welcoming entrance to the home, with exposed timber beams overhead and freestanding log burner. The main space in which to relax is the well-proportioned drawing room, which has oak flooring, plenty of scope for shelving and a further wood-burning stove. It benefits from a triple aspect, including French doors opening onto the gardens. The generously proportioned kitchen offers additional social space, with an attractive exposed stone wall, tiled flooring, modern wooden fitted units, as well as space for a family dining table. Adjoining the kitchen, a walk-in larder with original stone floor and shelving and utility room provide useful additional space for household storage and appliances. The whole of the ground floor benefits from underfloor heating.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four well-appointed bedrooms, together with a dressing room. The generous principal bedroom offers a good sense of space and light, with a vaulted ceiling and triple aspect, as well as an en suite bathroom, with underfloor heating and featuring a bathtub and walk-in shower. The first floor also has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower.
