About this property
Boasting an open fire in the bright sitting room and two good sized bedrooms overlooking the village, Brook House is a delightful two bedroom Victorian Yorkshire Dales house set in the heart of Askrigg, Upper Wensleydale, which was the filming location for the famous original Herriot television series All Creatures Great and Small. This picturesque village is home to a cobbled central green, wonderful views, and scenic walks.
Entered via the porch, guests are led through to a bright and welcoming sitting room. Flooded with natural light from the bay window, the dining area features an cosy open fire for chillier evenings. To the rear of the property, the spacious and modern kitchen is fully-equipped for preparing meals. Follow the turned staircase to access two tastefully decorated bedrooms; a king-size bedroom with dual aspect windows overlooking the village; and a twin bedroom. These rooms are served by a good size family shower room with rainfall shower.
Bursting with character, Brook House is situated at the upper end of the village at the foot of Moor Road, which stretches over the hill into the sought after Dale of Swaledale, home to Gunnerside, and on to the small market town of Reeth, before ending at the bustling market town of Richmond, which is home to a Norman castle, Georgian theatre, and traditional cobbled streets. Watch the world go by over a refreshing drink outside The Crown Inn. Wander down for a bite to eat at one of the other local pubs in the village; or treat yourself to tea and cake in The Bake-well.

It wasn't for us, the road was outside the front and back doors, no outside space to sit in the sun and right on a very busy junction. The road was very busy at certain times of the day.
