The property is Grade II listed with the original building dating back to the 16th Century, and the original adjoining outbuildings were converted in 1859 into a Dame School, serving the local village and surrounding community. Over the years the building has served many purposes before becoming a settled home.

The accommodation comprises of a cosy living room with a wood burner, a kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. There is a third occasional room (the former Dame School) which could be used as a bedroom, hobby room, office, or what-ever purpose serves the new owners. Under this room is a store room that contains the oil fired boiler and is a great space to store wood for the burner and other outdoor items.

To the rear is a private garden, planted with mature plants and shrubs and with seating areas to enjoy the evening sun and a quaint balcony. You will also find a stone built storage shed.

Situated in Ravenstonedale, the cottage enjoys access to two highly regarded inns and a nursery school, with the Fat Lamb Country Inn less than a mile away.
