Victoria House, Richmond

A beautifully presented cottage, situated in the heart of the highly desirable village of Gunnerside in Swaledale. Originally two separate cottages, the property has been skilfully combined by the current owner and comprehensively renovated to an exceptional standard throughout.
The accommodation offers three generous double bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms, complemented by a superb open-plan living and kitchen area, a separate sitting room and a practical boot room.
Externally, the property enjoys a charming balcony and a small patio area, ideal for relaxing and taking in the characterful surroundings of this picturesque Dales village. With no formal gardens, it presents an ideal low-maintenance “lock-up-and-leave” home.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity in a prime village setting.
