My husbands job took us around the world.  We spent a short period of this time living in Yorkshire, England and decided we liked it and wanted to stay.   So 5 years ago we stumbled across this beautiful little cottage during it's pre-auction open day.   As soon as we stepped in through the front door it felt like we were home;  like she had been waiting for us.    

And so the journey began . . . We were now ownners of a beautiful cottage, 200 ft riverbank and have riperian rights to 200 ft of the river she's sat on.  

We think she was built around 1880.  She used to be attatched to a mill which was used to make soap.   Boats used to dock there and ferry supplies.  

What about the flood risk? (we get asked this question A LOT!)  

We are hoping that the fact she hasn't flooded, like ever, is a good omen.  But aren't ruling out that it could happen so will be getting flood defences in place once we have researched cost eeeeekkkkkk!
