Dale House is a substantial Victorian stone country home set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms, attractive village and fell views and a large, private garden with off-street parking. Period features such as sash windows, decorative cornices and original fireplaces remain throughout, while two wood-burning stoves and a conservatory add practical comfort.
The property includes a long-standing extension that functions as a flexible annex with internal connecting doors — useful for multi-generational living, guests or rental income. In whole-house configuration there are three reception rooms, five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, giving scope for dedicated hobbies, home offices or downsizing adaptability. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong for a rural location, and the setting provides excellent access to country lanes, bridleways and nearby market towns.
There is clear scope to modernise and add value: the house will reward updating of services and finishes. Practical considerations include private drainage to a septic tank, oil-fired boiler and immersion heating, and double glazing installed before 2002. Flood risk is rated medium and the local record lists council tax at band F, so running costs are likely to be higher than average for the area. The property is offered freehold and sits in an affluent, low-crime hamlet setting.
For those seeking a quiet retirement or multi-generational rural base with long-term upside, Dale House combines character, privacy and substantial outdoor space. Buyers should be prepared for refurbishment works and routine maintenance associated with an older country home and its services.
