Set in the heart of Thwaite in Upper Swaledale, this stone barn-conversion cottage offers compact, characterful living within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The first-floor open-plan living room and kitchen with exposed beams creates a bright social space, while two modest bedrooms and a shower room occupy the entry level. Outside there is an integral store and a very small garden; parking is provided by a garage.
Practical features include LPG gas-fired central heating (Worcester Calor boiler) and double glazing, plus mains water, drainage and electricity. The property is freehold with no onward chain — appealing to buyers seeking a straightforward rural purchase without delay. Its traditional stone walls and timber windows preserve period character and a rustic finish consistent with nearby cottages.
Buyers should note the compact footprint (about 431 sq ft) and very small plot, which suit downsizers or those seeking a holiday base rather than a family home. Energy performance is weak (EER F29) and there is a medium flood risk for the area; consider survey and insurance implications. Records also note electric storage heaters in addition to the gas boiler, so check current heating arrangements during viewing.
This cottage is best for someone wanting an authentic Dales retreat: low local crime, good broadband speeds for a rural location, and access to village amenities and walks. Its size, energy rating and flood risk are material factors — transparent points to weigh against the charm, location and ready-to-move-in presentation.
