Quirky cottage in lovely location needing major updating. Mill Cottage, on a quiet back lane called the Wynd, in Gayle, near Hawes isn't the prettiest-looking of North Yorkshire hideaways. But there's something about its higgledy-piggedly oddness that's really quite cute.
Set over three floors, Mill Cottage has two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, a decent-sized lounge and an assorted outbuildings.
You'll want to rip out the kitchen and start again. And while you're at, the damp course might need looking at, you'll need to re-wire, and some proper heating wouldn't go amiss in those piercing Dales winters. But the cottage is in a gorgeous location, in the very pretty hamlet of Gayle, half-a-mile from Hawes, in the centre of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Gayle Beck, the bridge and waterfalls and Gayle Mill are just yards from the door.
It's on the market at offers around £139,000, through J R Hopper & Co.
