INTRODUCTION
Not only is Cow Close Cottage a very attractive stone built house it is also in a fantastic location, sitting off a sleepy lane in Hartwith and surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The current owners have created the most idyllic place to live and one that is perfect for those looking to live the good life and make this their lifestyle property.
The house is spacious and light, beautifully presented and the main reception rooms make the most of the landscaped garden and uninterrupted views of open fields and countryside towards Harrogate. The most recent addition to the house is the sitting room that has doors that open out on to the terrace and garden, spectacular views to the south and a log burning stove. This is perfect for entertaining all year round! The dining room is adjacent and also has access to the garden and a log burner.
The kitchen is well equipped with a Rayburn to keep it warm and is a perfect place for everyday dining. Off the kitchen is a useful utility and rear hall which is fantastic as a boot room (and has a pretty feature fireplace).
Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a house bathroom. The principal bedroom has the benefit of an ensuite. Bedroom four is currently used as a study by the current owners but was originally a bedroom. All the bedrooms are a good size and have in built wardrobes.
The garden is exceptional and has been lovingly created by the owners. It is private, beautifully manicured and enclosed with mature shrubs and planting and has a natural stream running through it. The lawned area to the front of the house leads to a ha ha that then drops into a wild flower meadow. This faces south and enjoys sunshine for pretty much all day. The terrace that runs along the front of the house is perfect for alfresco entertaining, but there are also many other sitting areas dotted around the garden to enjoy the views and listen to the stream babbling through!
The garden continues further beyond the ha-ha to one side of the wild flower meadow and has a greenhouse (with light and power) and raised beds and trees along the border. To the other side of the garden and meadow is an orchard with a variety of fruit trees and paddock land.
To the rear of the property there is a driveway with plenty of parking and a double garage with a mezzanine level for additional storage as well as a workbench . At the rear of the garage are some useful stores. To one side of the house is a large garden store as well as a water treatment shed and log store.
Cow Close Cottage is definitely a property that needs to be seen and discovered to get a sense its true tranquillity and idyllic nature.
