Burtersett, Hawes, DL8 3PA

Hillary Hall is a unique Grade II Listed former farmhouse which stands well in the centre of Burtersett. The accommodation is spacious and extends to 2971ft2 across two floors and retains many character features including an inglenook fireplace, mullioned windows, cruck trusses and exposed beams. It is believed that the property was formerly the home of Sir William Hillary (1697 – 1763), The ancestor of Sir Edmund Hillary who was famously the first man to scale Mount Everest. 

The property is entered into the large open kitchen diner which features a stone flagged floor and ceiling beams. There are a good range of fitted oak units and ample space for a dining table with appliances including a Rangemaster cooker with electric hob and extractor hood, a dishwasher and space for an undercounter fridge. Usefully, just off the kitchen is a utility/boot room which is plumbed for a washing machine and has a separate cloakroom with WC and basin. A rear hallway provides access to the first floor via a staircase and is a large area with space for a home office or library. 

The large living room features an impressive inglenook fireplace with a multi fuel stove set within. There are feature beams and windows looking out to the front with views of the garden and beyond. Completing the ground floor is a study which has been used as a fourth bedroom in the past. This would also work well as a children play room or formal dining room if required. 

To the first floor there are three spacious double bedrooms, each of which enjoys a lovely outlook. The main bedroom benefits from an ensuite with WC, basin, bath, airing cupboard and shower cubicle with the second bedroom benefitting from walk in wardrobes.  The house bathroom completes the first floor with a WC, basin and bath. 

From the landing there is a narrow staircase which leads up into the attic. This offers two large rooms which are great for storage or conversion (subject to PP). 

Externally the property is complemented by pretty front gardens which are fully enclosed and established with lawns, mixed flower beds with trees, shrubs and a patio area. To the rear there is a range of useful storage sheds, one of which houses the oil tank. There is also ample off road parking and an area of rear lawn which could be landscaped further. 

Overall, Hillary Hall would make an excellent full time family home or large second home in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
