Tucked away in an enchanting rural setting on the northeast edge of Eldwick, Bridge Cottage is a home unlike any other. Just a short drive from the picturesque villages, towns, and valleys of Wharfedale, this remarkable property blends historical charm with modern comfort, offering breathtaking views and an idyllic lifestyle.
As its name suggests, Bridge Cottage enjoys a unique position, gracefully perched above a flowing watercourse, providing uninterrupted water views from multiple rooms. Stepping inside, you are immediately enveloped in the warmth and character that only a historic cottage can offer, with charming quirks, original features, and an atmosphere that feels both inviting and timeless.
Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels—lower ground, first, and second—this home has been carefully curated to offer both aesthetic appeal and practical living spaces.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into the stunning breakfast kitchen, where a central island takes pride of place, providing the perfect gathering spot for morning coffees, meal prep, and socializing. The elegant yet functional design ensures a seamless blend of contemporary living within a classic country cottage setting.
To the left, the formal dining room boasts an abundance of natural light, making it an ideal space for hosting intimate dinners or celebratory feasts. To the rear, a convenient boot room offers practicality for countryside living, ensuring muddy boots and outdoor gear are neatly tucked away.
However, the true showstopper of the ground floor is the lounge. This magnificent space is larger than average, featuring a stunning vaulted ceiling, an abundance of character, and breathtaking views over the rear garden and stream. Expansive patio doors open directly onto the outdoor seating area, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living—perfect for summer evenings and cozy winter nights alike.
Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find two well proportioned double bedrooms, each offering a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
A modern shower room serves this level, featuring stylish fittings and a contemporary design, perfectly complementing the home’s blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.
The lower ground floor is an unexpected delight, thoughtfully divided into two distinct sections, each with its own access point.
From the lounge, stairs lead down to an attractive sitting area, ideal as a sitting room, home office, or playroom. This versatile space allows you to adapt it to suit your lifestyle needs while still enjoying the calming presence of the surrounding nature.
Meanwhile, from the boot room, another staircase leads to a beautifully appointed bathroom, two additional spacious double bedrooms, and a store room. Both bedrooms on this level benefit from one-of-a-kind, uninterrupted views of the flowing stream and private garden, with direct outdoor access—creating an oasis of peace and tranquillity.
Step outside, and you’ll discover a truly magical outdoor space. Designed for relaxation and entertainment alike, the multi-tiered garden features:
•Two patio areas, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining guests, or simply unwinding with a good book.
•A lawned section, ideal for families, pets, or garden enthusiasts.
•A private stretch of the stream, offering a rare and serene waterside setting that is entirely your own.
Additionally, there are two outhouses, providing valuable storage solutions for gardening tools, outdoor furniture, or hobby equipment. A private driveway to the side of the property offers convenient parking for one vehicle.
