A lovely, pretty cottage to sleep six in peaceful village of Thornton Rust in Wensleydale. Lots of character, wood burning stove, separate dining room, sunny patio garden to the front. Footpaths seem to crisscross Wensleydale for miles and from the cottage you can attempt the heights of Addlebrough for breath taking views. Visit nearby Aysgarth Falls, Hardrow Force, Bolton Castle. Travel to Hawes, Skipton, Leyburn, Settle, pass the Ribblehead Viaduct, Sedburgh, Dent or just enjoy Wensleydale. The Bield is both a charming and quaint detached, dales cottage sitting towards the eastern end of the village overlooking the narrow green. The cottage has been successively renovated and extended over many years and has recently been refurbished to the high standard it now presents. A wood burning stove, separate dining room, sunny patio garden to the front. Footpaths seem to crisscross Wensleydale for miles and from the cottage you can attempt the heights of Addlebrough for breath taking views. Visit nearby Aysgarth Falls, Hardrow Force, Bolton Castle. Travel to Hawes, Skipton, Leyburn, Settle, pass the Ribblehead Viaduct, Sedburgh, Dent or just enjoy Wensleydale in all its glory. Access is through a walled border garden, with a patio area, to a small entrance porch at the front of the cottage. The porch gives access to a cosy lounge with inset wood-burning stove with classic pine surround and mantel, traditional open beamed ceiling and support post. Through the lounge is a dining room with ample space for family eating and the benefit of a picture window looking towards the green. This in turn leads to a modern, compact but well equipped kitchen with quarry tiled floor and a utility room with laundry facilities, freezer, dishwasher and adjacent toilet. An open tread pine staircase rises from the dining room to a landing serving three bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, one double and one twin and a bathroom with bath, sprinkler shower, washbasin and toilet. There is a small, secure garden to the rear of the cottage which can be reached from the road by a wide pathway or by an external door in the utility room. The larger front garden is a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the sunshine, perhaps for alfresco breakfast or lunch in the peaceful air of a small village with little through traffic. The Bield is a dales cottage of character and distinctive charm which over the years has developed into a family home rather than a small cottage. Much of the original and often quirky features have been retained but it has been decorated and furnished with style, simplicity and modernity sympathetic to its heritage and has all the needs of contemporary life.
Thornton Rust sits at the rocky edge of an escarpment running along the lower slopes of the stately Addlebrough, one of the most prominent and recognisable skyline features in mid-Wensleydale. The lofty position on the escarpment gives splendid views over upper and mid-Wensleydale and the plateau it forms is fertile meadowland but soon meets the steeper slopes of pasture rising to the peat moor in the shadow of Addlebrough. A sleepy backwater with little through traffic and linked by minor roads to the A684 at Worton near Bainbridge to the west and Aysgarth to the east. A picturesque village formed around two straggling greens with a charming diversity of stone houses typical of the Yorkshire Dales.
The Wensleydale Harriers, formed in 1833 kennelled their hounds in purpose built brick kennels on the hillside just behind Thornton Rust for two periods during the last
century. The pack was moved in the late 1970’s and the Thornton Rust kennels were left derelict and became ruined and were finally demolished in 1998 leaving only the stone built mash house where the hounds’ food was prepared. The site of the kennels is still known as the Kennel Field and is a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve and is a fine example of an upland flowering meadow and also supports some relatively rare mammals. It is an easy walk from Thornton Rust up a wide farm track but for those more intrepid there is the footpath route to Addlebrough and the sheer rapture in some of the best dales views from its summit. This and many other nearby footpaths are a marvellous opportunity to explore the local area.
