Description
Dales House is a Grade II listed and well-established Bed & Breakfast enjoying a prominent trading position within the Market Place of the thriving market town of Hawes.
Hawes is widely regarded as one of the Yorkshire Dales’ most picturesque and vibrant market towns, offering a welcoming community together with an excellent range of amenities including independent shops, restaurants, tearooms, traditional inns, a primary school, church and market hall. The town hosts a popular weekly outdoor market which attracts both residents and visitors throughout the year. Surrounded by spectacular countryside, Hawes is a highly desirable destination for walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Occupying one of the town’s most prominent trading positions, the property is deceptively spacious and offers significant potential to further enhance and develop the existing business. Arranged over four floors, the accommodation currently provides a range of guest and owner facilities ideally suited to the hospitality sector.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming living and dining room, providing an ideal space for guests to relax and dine after a day exploring the surrounding countryside. There is clear scope to further capitalise on the business by offering evening meals to both residents and non-residents. Also to this floor are a ground floor bedroom with en-suite facilities, a professional-standard kitchen, guest WC facilities and access to the laundry room.
To the first floor are three further letting bedrooms, two benefitting from en-suite shower rooms, with the third enjoying use of a private bathroom located across the landing.
The second floor provides spacious owner’s accommodation comprising a living room with feature fireplace, two double bedrooms both with en-suite facilities, together with an office space. Access to the insulated loft space is also available from this floor.
The lower ground floor is a particularly striking and characterful space, believed to have formerly housed the town’s old bank vault. Exposed stone walls and dramatic vaulted ceilings create an impressive setting full of character and potential. Currently arranged as two reception rooms together with two bathrooms, this floor benefits from its own separate entrance directly from the main street, offering an excellent degree of privacy and versatility. The generous proportions and distinctive architecture provide exciting scope for a variety of uses, including additional guest accommodation, private family space, home office or studio facilities, or a unique retail or hospitality offering, subject to any necessary consents.
Dales House presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful and established business with considerable potential for growth in a prime trading location. Whilst some areas would benefit from modernisation and renovation, the property offers substantial scope for improvement and further development.
The property would also make an ideal investment opportunity within one of the Yorkshire Dales’ most sought-after market towns.
