The much acclaimed village of West Burton boasts a large, sloping green at its heart but arrival and departure from the green is through two narrow roads known as Front and Back Nooks. In the Front Nook Hazeley Cottage, a delightful cottage for four, stands elevated from the roadway viewing down the road and towards the lower slopes of Penhill with the village green and Cauldron falls around the corner, just a moments walk away. The cottage is a single story dwelling and was originally the coach house for The Mount which is one of the grander adjacent houses overlooking the green. It has been recently renovated and provides a high standard of accommodation.
Access from the road is up five small steps to a patio garden which runs the full length of the cottage. Alternatively there is also a separate vehicle and level pedestrian access to a private parking area to the rear of the cottage which also serves three other properties and is linked to Hazeley by a private, wide gravel path. The patio garden is perfect for sitting in the sun and gazing at the wonderful view from the lower patio.
There are two entrance doors from the patio, one to the dining room and the other, preferred entrance opening to a stylish, well-equipped kitchen with everything needed for family catering. To the left of the kitchen is a dining room which in turn leads down two small shallow steps to a comfortable lounge with an electric stove, oak flooring and a large bow window with window seat which views over the patio, down the nook and also over the fields to the lower slopes of Penhill.
To the right of the kitchen a hallway with a cloak hanging area gives access to a bathroom with bath, overhead shower, washbasin and toilet and two bedrooms, one with a super king bed, which can be made into two singles if you prefer, and a bedroom with twin beds.
A lovely cosy cottage bordering a long patio garden which is a beautiful sun trap, just perfect for those alfresco wine and dine evenings. The rooms are quite modern in concept but uphold the traditional with oak doors and a blend of oak and pine furniture mixed with antique items. West Burton is in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and is a great base to explore from with easy access to many footpaths that cross the dales and a good centre for travelling around the Dales National Park and beyond by car or by bicycle too!
