The property
This traditional, Victorian terraced townhouse is located in the popular town of Hawes, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Enjoying an enviable location close to the town centre, this lovely cottage is a short walk from the fantastic main street and a stone’s throw from the picturesque waterfall on the River Ure.
Set over two floors, the ground floor features a cosy sitting room with open fire and small coal-effect fire, a large dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen.
Moving up to the first floor you will find two spacious bedrooms, providing ideal family accommodation, and completing the property is a bathroom.
To the rear of the cottage is a south-facing, elevated patio area.
This is a superb, spacious place to sit and catch the sun and enjoy family time in pretty Yorkshire Dales surroundings.
Next to the patio is a large garage, which offers a space to park your car, along with providing bike storage.
Hawes is a real gem of the Yorkshire Dales, a stone-built market town with excellent pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and a very good selection of shops.
Visitor attractions include a working rope maker, the Dales Countryside Museum and the much publicised Gayle Mill.
The surrounding Upper Wensleydale scenery is absolutely stunning, some of the finest on offer in all the Yorkshire Dales and is renowned as one of the finest walking areas in the country.
A highlight would be taking a stroll alongside the River Ure at nearby Aysgarth Falls or going slightly further afield to the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks.
The market towns of Settle, Leyburn and Richmond are a short drive away, whilst Semerwater and Hardraw Force, England's highest single drop waterfall, are all nearby.
A delightful cottage from which to explore Wensleydale, Swaledale and beyond.
About the location
HAWES
Leyburn 16 miles.
Hawes is a popular market town in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire and is regarded as one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Standing between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss, the town is an excellent centre for walking and touring Wensleydale and the adjoining dales of Swaledale, Cotterdale, Dentdale, Garsdale, Wharfedale and Chapel-le-Dale.
Take a walk around the Hawes Town Trail, Millennium Walk, Pennine Way or along the River Ure, which is nearby.
In 1998 Hawes was awarded the English Tourist Board Silver Award for the "Best Day Trip Out".
Modern traffic has long replaced coaches and horse drawn wagons along its narrow streets, but market day (Tuesdays) in Hawes is as busy as ever, with a farmers’ auction attracting sheep farmers from all over the north of England.
Traditional shops, cafés and inns now cater for a variety of Dales visitors as well as the local community.
The award-winning Wensleydale Creamery, made famous by the animated Wallace and Grommit films, is now open to visitors so that they can see the famous cheese being made and sample the end product in a welcoming café.
In the old station yard you will find the busy National Park Centre and Dales Countryside Museum.
The Museum is home to the magnificent collection of Dales artefacts by the two great Dales historians and writers, Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby.
