Dales Croft Cottage
SELLER INSIGHT
It has been two years we purchased Dales Croft Cottage, located in the heart of the village. Over this time, we have partly decorated the space and installed a new boiler. We initially purchased this property with the intent of enjoying our retirement here, but our plans have since changed, and we now find ourselves needing to relocate. If we could pick up this home and take it with us, we would—along with the village, which has truly captured our hearts.”
“What first drew us to this home was its striking resemblance to the village I grew up in, combined with its natural beauty. My favourite room is the sitting room - it never feels lonely, as you can watch the people passing by. With its large windows, shutters, and a cosy wood-burning stove, it’s the perfect blend of warmth and light.”
“The home itself is ideal for entertaining, with a spacious dining area that flows from the kitchen, creating a sociable atmosphere. With two lounges, there is ample space for gatherings and relaxation. It’s especially wonderful during the festive season, perfect for Christmas celebrations and social gatherings.”
“The garden at the rear is generously sized, and the driveway provides more than enough space, which is a real luxury in this location. There is even enough space for our large motorhome. There is also a charming stone-built outhouse that would make a perfect little office or studio. As keen gardeners, we’ve enjoyed the garden immensely, especially as the sun sets, turning it into a peaceful, secluded retreat.”
“This village is an extraordinary place that puts people at the centre of its community. It nurtures everyone, both young and old, with its warm, welcoming spirit. There is a fabulous school, a highly regarded doctor’s surgery with great facilities, and the British Legion Club, which brings so many together. The village has a group called “The Oddfellows” who do incredible work for the community, and there’s even a brass band that plays on the village green for the Well Dressing every year. Annual traditions like the duck race bring everyone together, creating a true sense of belonging. The thriving church, post office, and local shops are equally wonderful.”
“What has stood out most to us, though, is the kindness of the people. Even the previous owners of this home have remained in the village, and they have been endlessly helpful to us. There is always someone here willing to lend a hand, and the village boasts an amazing wealth of skills and talents that enrich the community in so many ways.”
“Famous for its local cheese shop and frequented by tourists, the village has managed to maintain its close-knit charm. The excellent and reliable bus service is just another testament to the thoughtful planning that makes life here so pleasant.”
“What we will miss most is the opportunity to be part of this exceptional community and live in such an iconic house at the heart of it. This is a home that deserves someone who will love and cherish it just as much as we would have, had our plans not changed.”*
