Perfectly positioned for exploring Wensleydale, this handsome stone cottage has been beautifully updated and gives easy access to inspiring scenery and vibrant market towns. With room for up to three guests, it boasts a superb kitchen/diner, lots of room to relax and the benefit of off-road parking.
Thoughtfully renovated in late 2025, the cottage has been elegantly designed for comfort and practicality. Leave walking gear in the hall before heading into the heart of the home, a large kitchen/diner with stone flooring, a central island and a farmhouse-style dining table set beside double doors to the patio. Kitchen equipment includes both a microwave and a dishwasher, and there’s also a comfortable sofa, making this a space where you’ll want to linger. The charming single bedroom is also on this floor, as well as a spacious shower room. The main lounge is on the first floor, softly carpeted and boasting a Smart TV for entertainment. On this level, you’ll also find the king-size bedroom, a bright, calm space with a rocking chair and ample storage, and a traditionally styled bathroom. A private patio stretches across the front of the cottage, furnished for sitting out with coffee, meals or a glass of wine while soaking up the fresh Yorkshire air. An additional benefit of this high-quality property is private parking for one car.
The converted barn is located in the hamlet of Gayle, around 400 metres from its small waterfall, and surrounded by scenic countryside. The vibrant market town of Hawes is less than a mile away, where you’ll find independent shops, places to eat and the Wensleydale Creamery, home of the famous crumbly cheese. Drive to Thwaite (7.5 miles) along the Buttertubs Pass for spectacular views, or head to Aysgarth (8 miles) to see the impressive waterfalls.
