Gunnerside is a thriving Dales community, offering a range of local amenities including the community-owned King’s Head pub, church, primary school, tearoom and village hall. The surrounding countryside offers exceptional walking opportunities directly from the doorstep, with access to routes including the Pennine Way and the renowned Coast to Coast Walk, while the beautiful River Swale is also within easy walking distance.
Believed to date back to the 18th century, Whin Hall is rich in original charm and character, complemented by a range of modern improvements and utilities. The accommodation combines period features with contemporary comforts and begins with a spacious boot room and utility area. The modern fitted kitchen is finished in a charming duck egg blue and features solid wood worktops. The dining room provides a wonderful focal point with its feature stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, while steps lead to the impressive first-floor living room. This exceptional space enjoys a full-height ceiling with exposed roof timbers and large picture windows framing far-reaching views down the valley.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite shower room.
The property has been thoughtfully modernised by the current owners, with works including extensive repointing, the installation of photovoltaic solar panels, a new generator and battery storage, new oil-fired boiler and external landscaping. The result is a home that retains the charm and character expected of a historic Dales property while providing the practical comforts required for modern living. The majority of the contents may also be available by separate negotiation.
Outside, the south-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create attractive patio seating areas, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying the ever-changing and spectacular surrounding landscape.
