Dales House, Hawes – A Canvas of Character in the Heart of the Yorkshire Dales

Tucked into the heart of the national park’s most beloved market town, Dales House isn’t just a property — it’s a chapter waiting to be written. Currently a guest house, steeped in warmth and welcome, this grand Georgian residence holds the quiet potential to become your family’s legacy home or a thriving lifestyle business.

From its handsome stone façade to the gentle creak of its original floorboards, every inch of this home tells a story — of walkers warmed by the fire after windswept days, of conversations over breakfast in the light-filled dining room and of the Dales unfolding just beyond the windows like a living painting.

There are rooms here — many of them. Not just bedrooms, but possibilities. Reading nooks, bunk rooms for grandchildren or hikers, or private guest suites for an upscale holiday let venture. With its flexible layout, generous proportions, and soul-soothing views, Dales House offers the kind of bones that rarely come to market: strong, elegant, and infinitely adaptable.

Wander into town in moments to pick up local cheese or share a pint with neighbours. Then retreat to your own hillside haven, where the silence settles gently and the stars come out like old friends.

This is not a house you just move into — it’s one you grow into. Restore it, reimagine it, reinvent it. Whether you're dreaming of raising a family in the fells or launching your own guest house in the beating heart of the Dales, Dales House stands ready — not just for your furniture, but for your future.

Certain furnishings can be included subject to separate agreement.
