Description

Welcome…

Old Hall stands as a magnificent Grade II listed property, rich with history and brimming with character. As the current owners prepare to move on, a rare opportunity arises for a discerning buyer to become the next custodian of this remarkable home.

Poised at the edge of Gayle, Old Hall welcomes visitors with its ornate moulded doorway, inscribed with the initials MAW, marking its 1695 origins and original owner, Matthew Weatherald. Mullioned windows add to the charm of this historic residence.

Come on in…
Step inside to a welcoming vestibule, its tiled floor and inset stone shelves perfectly suited for shedding muddy boots after a walk on the fells. The inner hallway stretches towards the rear of the property, awash with natural light from a window at its far end. To the right, a utility storage room features original stone shelving and a rugged stone-flagged floor.
Continuing down the hallway, you’ll find the bathroom, thoughtfully appointed with a bath, separate shower, washbasin, and WC. This tranquil space offers a place to relax after days spent exploring the Dales.

Lovely Living Spaces…
The reception rooms grace the front of the property, where deep-set windows provide inviting perches to gaze out at the world beyond. The dining room has a beamed ceiling and elegant oak herringbone floors, offering ample space for a grand dining table fit for festive gatherings. Picture magical Christmas celebrations, with loved ones gathered around, savouring the year's most anticipated meal. A striking feature fireplace, flanked by built-in cupboards, anchors the room with character.
The expansive living room centres on an impressive inglenook fireplace, where the wood-burning stove takes centre stage. Beamed ceilings and twin windows with inset seats overlook the front, creating a serene spot to unwind. Envision cosy winter evenings, curled up with a film or a good book by the roaring fire.

Heart of the home…
The kitchen, nestled at the rear of the property, opens directly to the garden. Traditional stone flags pave the floor, while shaker-style units with pristine white worktops offer abundant storage and workspace for culinary creativity. An inset porcelain Belfast sink adds a touch of rustic charm, and there's ample space for a range-style cooker. The breakfast bar offers a relaxed setting for morning coffee or casual conversation as meals are prepared.
Beyond the kitchen lies a generous walk-in pantry with original stone shelving, a haven for the home cook. From here, a staircase leads to a practical first-floor storage area.

Time for bed…
Ascend the original stone staircase to the first floor, where four bedrooms await. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and features two front-facing windows and a beamed ceiling. Off the landing, a door opens to a spacious storage area tucked beneath the eaves, with a second door providing access to steps leading down to the pantry below.

The second bedroom features exposed ceiling beams and dual front-facing windows, one with a delightful arch that adds a unique touch of period character.
A contemporary shower room features a walk-in cubicle clad in classic white metro tiles, inset shelving for toiletries, a sleek washbasin, and a WC. The design combines modern convenience with timeless style.
Further along the corridor are two additional bedrooms, presently serving as separate study spaces. The smaller of the pair is distinguished by enchanting arched, mullioned windows, a subtle homage to the property’s heritage.

Outside
Step out through the kitchen's rear door into a private passageway, where an outdoor store leads to a secluded, sheltered courtyard. This tranquil oasis is perfect for morning coffee, with birdsong and the soothing sounds of a nearby waterfall.
Stone steps lead up to a raised patio, ideal for alfresco dining, with space for a table and chairs. Two small outbuildings on the side of the property provide storage for coal and logs. The lawn rises gently behind the house, culminating at a vantage point from which the fells unfold over the rooftops.
There is space to park a car at the front of the property, with additional parking available in the village.

Out and about
Gayle is a picturesque village on the outskirts of Hawes, where traditional stone cottages line the banks of Gayle Beck. The beck cascades through the heart of the village in a series of gentle waterfalls, flowing toward the landmark Gayle Mill and the distinctive pepperpot silhouette of Hawes church tower on the horizon. The recently restored mill stands as a testament to the village’s rich textile heritage, and many local homes were originally built for the workers who supported that legacy. Much of the village remains unchanged, preserving a timeless quality that makes it unique.
As local historians Ella Pontefract and Marie Hartley observed, "Qualities which make for quaintness: hills rising above it, houses grouped around the beck, narrow alleys, a bridge, a mill, each so perfectly placed that a first view is startling." Few are as fortunate as those who can call this enchanting village their home.
