2 Moorcock Cottages is a beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage, full of character and charm, offering a warm and inviting home with all the comforts needed for relaxed countryside living.
The Moorcock Cottages are a charming row of six Victorian stone cottages, originally built by the Midland Railway Company to house railway workers near Garsdale Station on the scenic Settle–Carlisle line. Set amidst open moorland in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, they offer peaceful rural living with panoramic views, historic character, and close proximity to the popular Moorcock Inn and local walking routes.
As you walk inside, you're welcomed by a front porch — an ideal space for wet coats and muddy boots. From the hallway, there's a cosy front sitting room with a multi fuel stove, and to the rear, a spacious open-plan dining kitchen.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two comfortable double bedrooms, a single bedroom with lovely views, and a modern family bathroom.
Externally, to the rear there is an enclosed courtyard. Within the courtyard is a wonderful converted outbuilding with lighting, plumbing, and a separate WC which the current owners put in 3 years ago, as well as additional smaller outbuildings currently used for storage.
A back door from the courtyard leads to a lane and a steep, sloping natural garden that rises up to the embankment — currently left wild to attract red squirrels.
At the top, the owners have created a sheltered viewing point, offering the perfect spot to sit and enjoy this peaceful wildlife haven.
At the front, is a pleasant seating area with lovely views. The ground at the front stretches down to the roadside, mainly lawn with mature trees and bushes.
Parking is currently under the nearby railway bridge. However, there is potential to create private parking at the rear as neighbouring properties have done.
Whether you're looking for a family home, a holiday hideaway, or somewhere to enjoy an active retirement, 2 Moorcock Cottages fits the bill perfectly.

Outside
Front
To the front, the property enjoys a south-facing garden with a lovely seating area, perfect for soaking up the sun. A shared track provides access, and each property has its own private section of the grounds, stretching from the cottage down to the stone wall. In spring, the sloping garden bursts into colour with a beautiful display of daffodils, adding charm and seasonal beauty
Rear
Enclosed courtyard area with a covered canopy roof extending across a walkway to a versatile converted outbuilding.
Outbuilding
The current owners have added a WC and plumbing for a washing machine in a separate section, making it ideal for use as a utility area. The remaining space is readily adaptable and could be transformed into an additional living area — perfect for a home office, playroom, hobby space, or simply retained as useful storage.
Additional outbuilding
Small space currently used for storage. Would make an ideal log shed.
Garden
A shared track and sloping pathway lead up to the garden area, with each cottage enjoying its own section from the property to the top of the slope. The current owners have created a lovely viewing point with shelter — perfect for relaxing, taking in the stunning views, or even a bit of train spotting. The space offers great potential to be transformed into a tiered garden, with existing trees and shrubs already helping to frame the plot.
Parking
There is a large free parking area by the railway bridge at the bottom of the drive. The track to the front and rear allows vehicular access to the house. The neighbouring properties have created a parking space in the banking to the rear. This property could do the same if required.

It shares a private water tower and a septic tank with the other five cottages. Broadband Basic 1 Mbps | Ultrafast 1000 Mbps (B4RN is Available) Flood Risk Very low | No history of flooding.
