The Summerhouse

About this property

The Summerhouse is a simply stunning single-storey cottage resting in Kildwick, North Yorkshire, offering off-road parking, an EV charging point and a romantic studio-style layout with thoughtful touches of luxury.

Step inside to discover a light, spacious and airy open-plan space, where the king-size bed sits opposite the Smart TV so you can savour a favourite film before drifting off. To one side, the sleek kitchen area is equipped with a microwave, air fryer, fridge, coffee maker and wine chiller, setting the scene for lingering evenings sharing a drink at the stylish bar area. Ample seating invites you to unwind after busy days exploring, while bifold doors draw the outside in, opening onto the decking and enclosed garden. Slide them back on a sunny morning to let fresh country air fill the room, wander out with a freshly brewed coffee, and plan the day ahead at the patio table before firing up the barbecue later on.

When it is time to get ready, the elegant shower room provides a refreshing start or end to the day.

From The Summerhouse, a short stroll brings you to the local pub and shop in Kildwick, ideal for relaxed meals and last-minute essentials, while the nearby canal offers gentle waterside walks.

Further afield, enjoy days out in Skipton, Ilkey and Haworth, or venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park for inspiring scenery and memorable adventures. History lovers can visit National Trust Riddleston Hall or ride the Keighley and Worth Valley Light Railway for a nostalgic journey through the landscape. There is also the church of St Andrews in the village, which dates back to 950AD.

However you choose to spend your time, The Summerhouse offers a superb base for a romantic escape.

The large market town of Keighley is situated in Aire valley in West Yorkshire, within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town, mentioned in the Domesday Book, grew during the 18th and 19th centuries due to wool and cotton industries. Today Keighley offers a shopping centre, pubs, takeaways and restaurants, whilst on the outskirts of the town are two retail parks, and the Keighley and Worth Valley Light Railway, made famous by the film The Railway Children in the 1970’s, runs for five miles through the town to the village of Oxenhope. Just one mile out of town is the wonderful 17th century National Trust East Riddlesden Hall, and just four miles away is the village of Haworth, made famous as the home to the Bronte sisters. The village offers cobbled streets, lovely shops and the Bronte Parsonage Museum. Close by is the market town of Skipton and the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, plus within driving distance are the city of York and delightful Harrogate. A lovely base to explore a large part of Yorkshire.
