The property

51 High Street is a lovely, terraced cottage situated in the heart of Kirkby Stephen, a small market town in Cumbria.

With a warm woodburning stove, an enclosed garden, and proximity to local shops and pubs, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends, including one well-behaved dog.

Perched just above the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales National Park, and nestled between the stunning Lake District and the rugged beauty of North Pennines AONB, this location offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.

Step inside to be charmed by the cosy sitting room, where you and your loved ones can unwind in after a day of adventures.

Here, you can cuddle up and watch movies on the Smart TV, whilst the woodburning stove creates the perfect backdrop for a quiet night in.

Continue through to the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner, where you'll find everything you need to whip up tasty meals for all to enjoy around the dining table.

When sleep calls, head upstairs to find three well-presented bedrooms; two doubles and an adult bunk bedroom, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for your group.

Each room has been tastefully decorated, providing a serene space to rest after a day of adventures.

The bathroom is a sleek space where you can choose between a quick rinse in the walk-in shower or a leisurely soak in the bath, with a heated towel rail adding a touch of elegance.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden with a patio is a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, while your four-legged friend stretches their legs.

Just a short jaunt from your doorstep, discover the lush green expanse of Stenkrith Park, a haven of natural beauty where the River Eden has created spectacular rock formations over time.

An excellent spot for relaxing strolls and picnics, the park also hosts a unique sculpture trail, perfect for culture and nature enthusiasts alike.

Kirkby is perfectly situated along the Coast to Coast route, with the stunning Nine Standards just a pleasant walk away from the cottage.

Strap on your walking boots and head to the Podgill Viaduct, a marvel of Victorian engineering nestled amidst splendid woodland; watch the mountain stream gush beneath or follow the footpath leading to a magical waterfall for a picture-perfect moment.

Gastronomic delights abound close at hand, with local pubs the Taggy Man, and Berry Grape and Grain just a stone throw away, and The Bay Horse in Winton, famed for its real cask ales and scrumptious locally sourced fare, offering a homey setting for a hearty meal.

Alternatively, the Mulberry Bush café is the perfect locale for a spot of lunch or indulging in traditional Cumbrian baking; do try their rich hot chocolate or frothy latte for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Enjoy endless countryside adventures with a stay at 51 High Street.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
