Characterful 3-bed cottage on a large plot with spectacular Dales views and renovation potential.
Detached stone cottage with period features and exposed beams
East House is a detached stone cottage set in the Grisedale Valley within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering wide rural panoramas and immediate access to countryside walks. The house has period character throughout—exposed beams, original doors and polished floorboards—plus practical outbuildings: a large timber garage, log store and generous gardens. Recent works include a replaced roof, updated water supply and an oil-fired boiler; a new multi-fuel stove and Rayburn add warmth and charm.
The layout suits a family or holiday use: a large dining kitchen with traditional pantry, two reception rooms (one with patio doors to the garden), ground-floor utility and bathroom, plus an additional ground-floor room adaptable as a bedroom, study or workroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (two doubles and a small single) and a house bathroom. Ample parking is available on common ground immediately outside the property boundary.
Important practical points are straightforward: the cottage needs renovation to modern standards and has only one bathroom, which may be limiting for larger families. Heating is oil-fired (not a community supply), so running costs should be considered. Mobile phone signal is effectively absent, though broadband speeds are reported as fast.
This is a large plot in an ageing rural neighbourhood with low crime and an affluent area profile. The property will suit buyers seeking a character cottage with scope to refurbish and personalise, or investors/holiday-home owners wanting a well-located base near Hawes and Sedbergh with rail access at Garsdale Station (1.5 miles).
