Set in the heart of Hawes within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this stone-built one-bedroom cottage offers authentic period charm and a genuinely walkable village lifestyle. Exposed beams, a deep stone inglenook with multi-fuel stove and original timber doors create a cosy, characterful interior that will suit someone seeking a compact second home, lock-up-and-leave bolthole, or downsizer’s base.
The accommodation is small but practical: a fitted kitchen leads to a snug lounge with window seat and generous fireplace, while the first-floor bedroom benefits from beamed ceilings and built-in alcove storage. A single outbuilding provides useful external storage — a real asset where internal space is limited.
Buyers should note material drawbacks clearly. The cottage footprint and outdoor space are modest, and interiors will benefit from modernisation to kitchen and finishes. The walls are traditional stone with assumed no insulation, and glazing dates are not recorded. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent. Most importantly, the property sits in a high flood-risk area, which affects insurance and may require flood resilience measures.
For the right buyer this is a rare, affordable entry into an affluent, low-crime National Park village with immediate access to countryside walks, local amenities and community life. If you value character, location and a compact, manageable home — and are prepared for updating and flood-aware ownership — this cottage offers strong lifestyle appeal.
