Want to wake up to this view every morning? In a 4 bedroom property that includes a self-contained flat for relative or maybe rental? In a pretty village on the edge of a National Park? Close to a railway station for commuting to Leeds or Lancaster? Lots of parking? Well you can, as a relation of mine is selling. The field is full of lambs at the moment and you sometimes see a flash of electric blue as a kingfisher whizzes past. Preoperty details via link in bio.
My favourite book in stock at the moment: The Original Poems of Ann and Jane Taylor and Adelaide O'Keeffe. Jane Taylor is best known for Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It does have a dust jacket in very good condition but it is too pretty to hide. Link below...
