Starbotton, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23

Set within the breathtaking landscape of Upper Wharfedale, Foss Gill is a traditional stone-built cottage originally built as a lead miner’s cottage in the Yorkshire Dales. Full of character throughout, the property enjoys spectacular fell-top views and, on a clear day, even offers a glimpse of Foss Gill Waterfall itself — the feature that gives the cottage its name. Currently operating as a successful holiday let, the property presents an attractive opportunity whether as a continued investment, a second home, or a private Dales retreat.

Location
Starbotton is a picturesque and highly sought-after village nestled within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Surrounded by dramatic countryside, rolling fells and endless walking routes, the village offers a peaceful setting with a strong sense of community and a well-regarded village pub. The nearby market town of Skipton, approximately 10 miles away, provides a wider range of everyday amenities, shops, schools and rail connections. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Starbotton is perfectly placed to explore some of the most beautiful landscapes the Dales has to offer.

Ground Floor
Entry into the property is through a stable-style door leading into a welcoming entrance hall, currently used as a study area. This space features a tiled floor and Velux window, while also providing access to the utility room and downstairs WC. The utility room benefits from a window to the front elevation and fitted worktops, creating a practical space for laundry and additional storage. Moving through to the kitchen, the cottage’s character is immediately apparent with exposed ceiling beams and wooden flooring. A beautiful ceramic sink sits beneath the front elevation window, perfectly positioned to take in the stunning fell-top views. On particularly clear days you can even spot Fosgill Waterfall itself from here. The kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and dishwasher, and there are two useful under-stairs cupboards providing excellent storage. The front elevation windows have also recently been replaced by Skipton Joinery, further enhancing the outlook and overall finish. Beyond the kitchen lies the sitting room, a cosy and inviting space centred around an open fireplace. The room also benefits from built in shelving, storage cuboard, a small characterful window to the rear elevation and two further windows to the front which once again capture those impressive views across the surrounding landscape.

First Floor
The first floor landing provides access to all rooms. The house bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower above, low suite WC and wash basin set within a cupboard-style vanity unit. The bath area is fully tiled, while the remainder of the room features half-height wood panelling. There are two double bedrooms on this level. The first bedroom enjoys a cosy feel with a window to the front elevation and a characterful storage alcove to the side. The second bedroom, currently arranged as a twin room, benefits from a dual aspect outlook allowing for lovely views from both elevations and also provides access to a useful airing cupboard.

Externally
Externally the property benefits from a traditional coal shed providing useful additional storage.

Additional Information
