The cottage is situated in Gayle, with Hawes just a short walk away. Hawes offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, tearooms and public houses, together with a primary school, church, bank and doctors’ surgery, supporting a thriving and active community. The town retains its traditional weekly outdoor market and remains a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. The surrounding countryside provides superb walks and far-reaching views in every direction, making this an exceptional setting in which to live.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance leads through to the heart of the home – a generous kitchen/dining room providing ample space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The layout allows for a range of fitted units and a substantial dining table, creating a sociable and highly functional environment. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful boot room, ideal for coats, footwear and outdoor equipment, particularly suited to a rural lifestyle. The impressive sitting room offers excellent proportions and provides a comfortable and relaxing living space with flexibility for a variety of furniture arrangements. Also to the ground floor is bedroom two, a well-sized double bedroom offering versatility for guests, multi-generational living or use as an additional reception room if required. A conveniently located shower room, fitted with shower, WC and wash hand basin, completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a spacious double room benefiting from en-suite facilities comprising WC and wash hand basin. There are three further bedrooms, including two well-proportioned doubles and a single bedroom, ideal as a child’s room, home office or study. The accommodation is served by a family bathroom fitted with bath, WC and wash hand basin.
Externally, the property enjoys panoramic countryside views and benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles. It is approached via a traditional stone boundary wall with a gate opening into an enclosed front courtyard. The frontage is attractively laid to stone paving, creating a low-maintenance outdoor seating area ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. A raised stone-flagged terrace sits to one side, enclosed by original stone walling and offering a pleasant, sheltered space from which to enjoy the surrounding outlook. To the opposite side, a small lawned section is bordered by established stone walls and complemented by a young ornamental tree, adding softness and seasonal interest to the setting.
To the rear, there is an attractive and enclosed stone-flagged courtyard enjoying a high degree of privacy together with a pleasant outlook across adjoining greenery. The generous paved terrace provides ample space for seating and garden furniture, well suited to both everyday use and entertaining. Characterful stone walling enhances the sense of shelter and complements the traditional nature of the property, while built-in stone seating creates a charming and practical focal point. Wrought iron railings to one side define the boundary whilst maintaining an open aspect towards the surrounding landscape.
