A beautiful, newly renovated reverse-level property on a quiet estate in the attractive village of Cononley, in Airedale, is Horace Mills. This contemporary property is deal for a couple or two couples wanting to enjoy a peaceful and pretty holiday in the south of the Yorkshire Dales, offering picturesque valley views. Enter the property on the ground floor to two spacious double bedrooms, with contemporary style, soft grey carpets, ample storage space and access to a shared balcony. The first bedroom has a convenient en-suite shower room, while the second double has the option for the zip/link bed to be made up as two singles and is serviced by the family shower room, so there shouldn't be any queuing for the bathroom in the mornings. Pass the utility cupboard, which stores a washing machine, and head up the wide spiral staircase to the open-plan living space. The newly-fitted, glossy white kitchen has all the appliances you'll need, including an integrated dishwasher, and meal can be enjoyed together at the dining table, before retreating to the lovely sofas and enjoying watching the huge TV, or take advantage of the Bluetooth sound system and the incredible views available to you from the balcony, where you can sit out and take it all in, with a celebratory glass of fizz. Horace Mills is a short walk from the village's two renowned real ale pubs and the railway station, and for more amenities, the many delights of the traditional market town of Skipton are not to be missed. The train provides excellent opportunities to travel the scenic Settle to Carlisle line or the nostalgic Keighley & Worth Valley Railway which embraces the steam era. Head to Leeds or Bradford for some of the UK's best restaurants, attractions, shops, culture and nightlife. The area around this holiday retreat is an outdoor paradise, with beautiful strolls in the village surrounds as well as more challenging walks and cycle rides into the nearby hills and up into the joy of the Yorkshire...
