Green Head Cottage, Marsett, Leyburn. DL8 3DG

A charming and idyllic house set in its own grounds in one of the most picturesque parts of the Yorkshire Dales. Green Head Cottage is a particularly attractive and private house on the edge of the village of Marsett, south of Bainbridge and half an hour from the busy market town of Leyburn.

Built of stone under a stone slate roof, Green Head Cottage is entirely contained within a dry stone wall including the house, garden, grounds and small paddock. A Dales beck runs past the edge of the property, which is some 170m from the public road.

Outside there is private parking with electronic gates and a separate pedestrian access. The gardens are laid
out in charming cottage style and include a greenhouse and potting shed together with lawns, shrubs, borders and a small terrace. There is a small paddock, sufficient for a Shetland pony and a further potting shed together with an elderly hen house.
