Hamlet life - peace and tranquility easily accessible for Hawes and Sedbergh. www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to BRUNSKILLS COTTAGE & SPRING WOOD BARN £425,000 Cotterdale, Hawes, The Yorkshire Dales, DL8 3LT If life in the Yorkshire Dales beckons then you’re possibly looking for a peaceful location surrounded by open countryside and enjoying splendid views? If that’s the case then you might like Brunskills Cottage. It has been renovated over the last 20 years and is now ready for the next custodians to take it to the next level by the potential conversion of the attached barn. Here are a few of our favourite things: • Both welcoming and inviting - the cottage offers spacious accommodation with an approximate gross internal area of 1222 sq ft (113.5 sq m). There’s a dual aspect sitting room with wood burner, dining room open to a farmhouse kitchen with blue Stanley range and a wet room on the ground floor. To the first floor, the landing is open to the apex off which are three double bedrooms and a house bathroom. The landing and bedroom 1 both enjoy views to the rear. • Character abounds - ceiling beams, exposed stonework and cills, sitting room fireplace, original wide pine floor boards and reclaimed oak floor boards in the bedrooms. • Income stream - attached to the cottage to the north is Spring Wood Barn, with an approximate gross internal area of 1173 sq ft (109 sq m). Planning consent was granted on 14 May 2018, Reference No. R/48/160 by the YDNPA ‘for the conversion of a barn to form a 2 bedroom local occupancy dwelling or short term let’. Further details are available on the planning authority’s website. The property is on the edge of the Pennine Way and the track is used by walkers and mountain bikers so perfectly placed for a holiday let. • Potential - if you’d prefer to extend the existing accommodation then contact the planners but subject to the necessary consent it could make a seamless extension with the garden wrapping round the property, perfect for a larger family or just those that like to entertain frequently or simply spread out. • Work, rest and play - in the garden, there’s a stone and slate self contained office/workshop with Belfast sink and cloakroom, known as The Drey. Soundproofed it’s perfect as a home office, it could also be used as a guest bedroom, teenager’s den, music/cinema room, hobbies room, or gym … but beware the view can be very distracting! • In the country the outside space is just as important as what’s inside - there is a single garage with attached wood store and two gated driveways providing parking for several cars. Walled gardens border open countryside to the west with mature planting, flagged terraces and level lawn. An additional walled garden sits to the north with lawns and raised vegetable beds. The gardens are a haven for wildlife including red squirrels. Red squirrels! You’ll be the envy of your friends! • They say that a good drive gives an enormous sense of well-being and it’s certainly true in this case. From the A684, a 1.5 mile single track lane leads (running parallel with Cotter Beck) down into the valley bottom allowing you the time to take in the breathtaking scenery - its a ‘No Through Road’ (the word cul-de-sac seems far too urban in this rural idyll).

After travelling 12.5 miles, turn left down a single track, signposted Follow the road through the hamlet and the cottage is the third from last residential property on the left.
