Beck Isle Cottage
Building in Thornton-le-Dale, North Yorkshire, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beck Isle Cottage is a historic building in Thornton-le-Dale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The cottage was built in the 17th century, and in the 20th century was heightened, extended and restored.[1] It is the last remaining thatched cottage in the village,[2] and was most recently rethatched in 2015.[3] It has been described as having a "fairytale feel" and as being "potentially the most photographed home in Yorkshire". The house has four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms.[4][5] The building was grade II listed in 1986.[1]
The house has a cruck framed core, it is encased in sandstone, and has a stepped eaves course and a thatched roof. There is one storey and an attic, three bays, and a later rear wing. On the left bay is a projecting bracketed thatched porch, and the windows are horizontally sliding sashes, those in the attic in eyebrow dormers. Inside, three pairs of jointed crucks have survived.[1][6]
