Fern House

Fern House is a superb, stylish 17th Century country house in Wharfedale, in a riverside location overlooking Kettlewell Beck in the picturesque village of Kettlewell, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

This beautiful, pet friendly Dales cottage, was once the blacksmiths and a Coaching Inn, with the nearby Award-Winning Bluebell Inn being used as its stables. Now, this impressive, stone-built holiday home comprises a main house and an annexe, combining to provide seven delightful bedrooms, three bathrooms, two dining kitchens, a separate dining room, and three reception rooms.

There is also a handy utility room, perfect for storing muddy walking boots after a day on the fells and equipment, plus enclosed gardens are situated to the front and back. With no expense spared during the renovation of the property, Fern House has been tastefully transformed to provide superb facilities, contemporary styling and elegant furnishings, while retaining the immense character and charm of the original dwelling.

The main part of the house features a spacious sitting room with a woodburning stove and patio doors to the enclosed rear garden, while the kitchen has a lovely warming AGA, a small dining area and a TV. There is a separate dining room, with the addition of a pull-out table, and five well-laid out bedrooms, the master of which houses a king-size bed and modern en-suite.

The annexe is attached to the main house, and can be accessed through a lockable door via the master bedroom, or its own entrance. It is ideal for members of the group who like a little privacy from time to time, and enjoys a lovely, cosy sitting room with a woodburning stove of its own, plus a modern kitchen diner, two lovely bedrooms and a bathroom. In a most enviable location, with wonderful views of the surrounding fells, the property overlooks the village hall in Kettlewell, where the opening scenes from the much-loved film Calendar Girls were filmed.

The village holds a charm all its own; a cluster of beautiful, centuries-old stone buildings and Kettlewell Beck meandering through the centre, on its way to join the River Wharfe. Fern House is in a fabulous location for a group of friends or family to get together, home to three of the finest, award-winning pubs in the Yorkshire Dales. With outstanding views and walks in every direction, this is one not to be missed!
