The Hill Studio, Main Street, Dent, LA10 5QL

Tucked just a stone's throw from the cobbled streets of Dent, The Hill Studio is a unique and characterful 2/3 bedroom period home dating back to 1776, offering a rare blend of historic charm, flexible living space, and excellent outdoor potential. Full of original features such as exposed beams, fireplaces, and traditional architectural details, this property presents an ideal opportunity for those seeking a home with individuality and heritage in the heart of one of the Yorkshire Dales' most picturesque villages.

The property itself sits in a peaceful location just moments from the village centre and is complemented by a garden, private parking, an attached garage, and a separate studio building, all contributing to the property's remarkable versatility.

The front door opens into a warm and welcoming reception hall, currently used as a second sitting room, where a fireplace, exposed beams, and a front-facing window provide an inviting first impression. From here, you step into the living room, a comfortable space centred around a log-burning stove, with a front aspect window and the staircase rising to the first floor.

The kitchen is located to the rear of the property and includes a range of wall and base units, space for appliances, a pantry cupboard for additional storage, and a rear door that opens out to the paved patio area and garden. Just off the kitchen, the dining room is filled with charm and period features.

Accessed via the kitchen, the attached garage provides significant additional storage or workshop space, with plenty of room for a vehicle and the added benefit of a WC with hand wash basin, making it practical for a variety of uses.

The first floor comprises two main bedrooms, an additional occasional bedroom or office, and a family bathroom. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and has a door leading to the occasional third bedroom, which is a perfectly usable double room with a window to the front. Although it is currently only accessed through the main bedroom, it could be separated with a new entrance from the landing, subject to any necessary consents. The second bedroom is a comfortable double room with a rear aspect overlooking the garden.

The bathroom is well-appointed with a four-piece suite, including a bath, separate shower, WC and wash basin.

One of the most exciting features of this property is the detached studio building, located directly opposite the house. This space offers a huge amount of potential and could serve as a home office, artist's studio, workshop, gym, or even occasional guest accommodation, subject to planning and personal requirements. Outside, the garden is well stocked with mature shrubs and includes a lovely seating terrace right beside the river, creating a tranquil and private place to relax.

Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a weekend retreat, or a creative live-work opportunity in the Yorkshire Dales, The Hill Studio is a truly individual property with enormous potential. Offered with no onward chain, this is an increasingly rare chance to own a piece of Dent's heritage in a setting that is both peaceful and central. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that this exceptional property has to offer.
