The property

Dales Cottage In A Quiet, Yet Convenient Location


Foss Cottage is a charming character cottage situated in the peaceful hamlet of Gayle, just outside Hawes.

The property was formerly a barn up to the mid 1990's when a full conversion was carried out. The property benefits from off-street parking, a large garage, and stunning views towards Stags Fell.

Gayle is a quiet and picturesque hamlet located less than a mile from the popular market town of Hawes. Residents enjoy the tranquillity of village life while being within easy reach of Hawes' excellent range of amenities. The town is well served with independent shops, traditional pubs, cafés, a pharmacy, doctor's surgery, and dentist, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors alike.

Since purchasing Foss Cottage in 2019, the current owners have made a number of significant improvements, including the installation of new double-glazed windows, a new boiler, and complete redecoration throughout. The result is a welcoming and comfortable home that is ready to move into.

The entrance hall retains its original flagstone flooring, adding to the cottage's character, and leads through to a practical utility room at the rear, which provides access to both the garage and the garden. Subject to the necessary consents, the utility room offers excellent potential to be converted into a ground-floor kitchen, should the next owners wish to reconfigure the layout.

The first floor comprises the current kitchen, positioned at the rear of the property to make the most of the beautiful views across Hawes and towards Stags Fell. There is also a spacious living room featuring an attractive exposed stone wall, together with a shower room.

On the second floor are two generously sized double bedrooms, served by both a shower room and a separate bathroom.

Externally, the property offers off-street parking for one vehicle to the front, with additional unrestricted roadside parking conveniently located opposite the cottage. To the rear is a low-maintenance patio garden enjoying all-day sunshine and delightful open views.

The large garage is equipped with electricity and, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations, offers excellent potential to create additional living accommodation.

Foss Cottage is a wonderful home that has previously been operated as a successful holiday let, making it equally suited as a permanent residence, second home, or investment property.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this delightful cottage has to offer.
