Tucked away in the heart of Gayle, this deceptively spacious stone cottage combines traditional character with practical living. The ground floor offers an airy kitchen-diner, living room with a log-burning stove, and a versatile studio/games room that could serve as a ground-floor bedroom or work space. Two double first-floor bedrooms both have ensuite bathrooms, making the layout especially convenient for full-time living or short-let guests.
Outside, a low-maintenance courtyard garden provides a private spot for outdoor dining and potted planting, with distant hill views from the garden room. The property has mostly double glazing, retains three original Gayle Mill windows, and sits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park — a strong draw for buyers seeking countryside character or holiday-let appeal.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are slow, and external stone walls appear uninsulated (as-built). The plot is very small and the cottage is an enclosed mid-terrace, so outdoor space and expansion are limited. These factors may affect running costs and suitability for remote working without upgrades.
Overall, Beckstones Yard will suit buyers after an authentic Dales cottage for full-time residence, second-home use, or a holiday-let asset. It’s well presented and ready to occupy, but buyers should budget for potential insulation or heating improvements and accept modest outdoor space.
