Countersett Hall, beautiful Dales historic manor house near large lake | House in Askrigg
3 Bedroom House in Worton, Askrigg
Surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes to be found in the Yorkshire Dales, Countersett Hall is a stunning grade II detached holiday property, nestled in the tiny hamlet of Countersett, perched above beautiful Lake Semerwater. The house has a fascinating history, having been the home of Richard Robinson, the first Quaker in Wensleydale from the 1650s. Illicit meetings were held in the parlour of the house and George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement, stayed at the house in 1652 and 1677. During major updates in the 1970s, archaeologists discovered a dwelling on the site from as early as the 12th Century, the first owner being a man called 'Cousbance', probably of Norman descent. Mary, Queen of Scots, is rumoured to have stopped off at the Hall en route to Bolton Castle. The house has a wonderfully calm, welcoming atmosphere and retains many historic features, such as oak panelling, stone flagstone floors, mullioned windows, beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces, yet with all the comfort of modern conveniences that you could want. The beds have super comfortable pocket sprung mattresses, hotel quality linen and blackout curtains. The kitchen is very well equipped with quality kitchenware and pans and everything you need to whip up a special meal. Vintage oil fired Aga and modern double electric oven with four ring hob. We leave a basket of complimentary logs and kindling for the woodburners in the living room and dining room. Guests remark on the peace and quiet of the house and the large gardens, which encircle the Hall, filled with flowers and wildlife. Look out for woodpeckers, pheasants, partridges, hedgehogs and owls.
