Briar Cottage is a small, stone-built Victorian cottage in Gunnerside, set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its character features — exposed beams, a bay window, stone fireplace and original timber doors — give immediate period appeal and scenic front views over the village and rolling hills.
The house offers three bedrooms and an open-plan lounge/dining room, plus a long galley kitchen and useful boot room. The parcel is freehold with a small, cottage-style front garden and convenient hardstanding for bins; village amenities include a pub, tearoom and a good primary school.
Practical considerations: the property needs renovation, has older double glazing (pre-2002), no wall insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated) and primary heating from room heaters and wood logs. There is a single shower room and council tax is Band E (above local average). Flooding risk is medium. Buyers should budget for improvements to heating, insulation and modernisation.
This home will suit buyers who value rural character and views and who are prepared to carry out sympathetic refurbishment — ideal for a family seeking a peaceful Dales base or a couple wanting a period project in a very low-crime, remote community.
