Kisdon House is a truly captivating detached character property, superbly positioned along the iconic Pennine Way above the ever-popular village of Muker.
Muker is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque and sought-after villages within Swaledale, celebrated for its charm, heritage and vibrant community spirit. Perfectly placed on both the Coast to Coast Walk and the Pennine Way, the village attracts visitors throughout the year, creating a lively yet welcoming atmosphere. Amenities include a traditional village shop and tearoom, the renowned Swaledale Wool Shop, and a much-loved community-run public house which forms the social heart of the village. A thriving tourism scene, supported by a popular campsite, charming holiday cottages and established bed and breakfast accommodation, further enhances the appeal of this exceptional setting in Upper Swaledale and deep into the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Kisdon House itself offers an impressive sense of space and versatility, with beautifully arranged accommodation extending across two floors and blending character features with modern convenience. To the ground floor are three inviting reception rooms, including a generous living room, a formal dining room and a flexible family room, perfectly suited as a home office or additional bedroom if desired. The kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged across two areas and fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and an oil-fired AGA cooker, complemented by a separate large pantry. A handy boot room and utility area designed for practical everyday living complete the ground floor.
The first floor continues to impress, offering four well-proportioned double bedrooms to the front elevation, one benefitting from an en suite bathroom, alongside a further single bedroom to the rear and a well-appointed and spacious house bathroom. A particularly appealing feature is the addition of a mezzanine study, which can be accessed via a spiral staircase rising from the family room or directly from the principal bedroom, creating a unique and versatile workspace or retreat.
Externally, the property enjoys a generous plot with a substantial double garage complete with power and lighting, offering excellent potential for workshop use or conversion to ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The terraced front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a low-maintenance patio area and carefully positioned seating areas that provide the perfect vantage point to take in the breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding Dales countryside.
Kisdon House presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character in an outstanding South facing location, perfectly suited as a distinguished family residence, an idyllic holiday retreat or a rewarding investment within one of the Yorkshire Dales' most desirable villages.
The property is reached via a shared 1km track that leads out of the village of Muker.
