Description

Occupying the whole ground floor of the East Wing of Braithwaite Hall, this delightful apartment enjoys a wealth of character and charm with an abundance of exposed beams. The entrance leads into a small hallway with desk, chair and information about the apartment and the immediate area. On the same level, a delightful bathroom features a roll top Victorian style bath complete with hand held shower and this room is decorated in a deep period colour. From the hallway, a short flight of steps leads to the remainder of the apartment with a large, light and airy kitchen, complete with dining area, leading through to a generously proportioned lounge and finally a truly superb bedroom with each of the latter rooms featuring 17th century Yorkshire stone fireplaces. Large lawned gardens surround the hall with bench seating from which to admire the stunning views stretching towards Middleham Moor gallops where hundreds of racehorses are exercised on a daily basis.

Braithwaite Hall is situated in Coverdale which lies between Wensleydale and Upper Wharfedale and is accessed by a single track road, some 1.5 miles from the picturesque village of East Witton, complete with village pub and Post Office. From the village, the bustling market town of Leyburn is some 5 miles and provides a good selection of shops, pubs, tea rooms and craft workshops, along with the Wenselydale Railway. Middleham, home to over 1,000 racehorses and complete with beautiful Castle once occupied by Richard III and overlooks the town is approximately 2 miles.

This delightful apartment is superbly situated for those who enjoy the peace and  tranquility of country living with footpath walks leading direct from the door, over the adjoining farmland and into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

About the local area

Wensleydale and the surrounding areas provide an excellent base for the great outdoors, with plenty of wonderful walking and cycling opportunities.

Explore the beautiful surrounding countryside, visit the many Castles, Abbeys and Stately Homes in the area during your stay, or spend a relaxing hour or two in one of the many cosy Dales pubs which can be found tucked away in every corner

Hawes, known as the capital of Upper Wensleydale, is a busy market town with many restaurants and tearooms. Local industries thrive with pottery, wooden toys, the famous Wensleydale cheese and ropemaking for visitors to see. Interesting antique shops offer a glimpse of times gone by and the Dales Countryside Museum and National Park Centre are essential for those interested in traditional countryside life.

The town of Leyburn boasts one or two unusual attractions having its own cinema, a Teapottery producing novelty teapots, a chocolate maker, violin maker's workshop and a fine arts and antiques auction house. Craft workshops and galleries also offer a range of locally and regionally made items including woodturning, stained glass, paintings and pottery.

To the west of Leyburn is the village of Bainbridge which is centered around a spacious village green complete with stocks. The River Bain, the shortest river in England, flows from Lake Semerwater over a picturesque waterfall near the village. Visit Askrigg to the north famous for its associations with the James Herriot television series "All Creatures Great and Small". It also has regular craft fairs, an annual art exhibition and flower festival.

Upper Wensleydale can offer you a multitude of eateries to satisfy your tastebuds. Although Hawes is the main town of the area most of the villages can provide you with excellent food in shops, cafés and pubs.
