Exceptional Grade II Listed Character Property in Dales Village

East End House is an elegant Grade II listed semi-detached residence situated in the tranquil village of Thornton Rust, nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Conveniently located, the village lies just 2 miles from Aysgarth and approximately 3 miles from both Askrigg and Bainbridge, where you’ll find local amenities including shops, pubs, and a primary school. A daily bus service connects Thornton Rust with Hawes, Leyburn, and beyond, while the availability of Superfast Broadband offers modern convenience in a peaceful rural setting. The surrounding landscape provides spectacular panoramic views and access to beautiful countryside walks directly from the doorstep.

Believed to date back to the 17th century, this remarkable property was originally known as The Manor Inn. Rich in period charm, it retains a wealth of original character features, including flagstone flooring, exposed timber beams, and a traditional pantry. The accommodation is generously proportioned, offering a versatile layout that can be adapted to suit a variety of lifestyle needs. The ground floor comprises three characterful reception rooms, a well-proportioned kitchen with a separate pantry, a useful downstairs WC, and under-stairs storage.

To the first floor, there are three spacious double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a family bathroom, and an additional shower room. A further living room with kitchenette—accessible via its own private entrance—offers excellent potential for a home office, annexe, or self-contained holiday let. Alternatively, it could be reconfigured as a luxurious en-suite and dressing room for the principal bedroom.

Externally, East End House enjoys a large, mature garden with outstanding views across the Dale. Additional features include a greenhouse, four useful outbuildings and a garage.

While the house would benefit from some updating, it retains immense charm and period character throughout. East End House represents a superb opportunity to create a beautiful family home or a rewarding investment in one of the Dales’ most picturesque settings.
