Low Scar, Garsdale, Sedbergh, LA10 5PL

A Charming Grade II Listed Cottage in the Heart of Garsdale Valley

Low Scar is a delightful Grade II listed cottage steeped in history and character. A date stone on the porch records 1724, though parts of the property are thought to be much earlier. Semi-detached to a barn conversion on the eastern side, the cottage nestles in the picturesque Garsdale Valley—an idyllic location linking North Yorkshire with Cumbria and the Lake District.

Perfectly positioned for both tranquillity and convenience, Low Scar lies just 8 miles from the popular market town of Hawes, offering shops, cafés, pubs, a doctor’s surgery and a primary school. Sedbergh, also 8 miles away, provides further amenities including a secondary school and the renowned Sedbergh School. Excellent transport links include Garsdale Head station on the famous Settle–Carlisle railway, just a couple of miles away, offering mainline connections. The M6 motorway is within a 30-minute drive. Stunning walks begin at the doorstep, and the area is alive with wildlife—red squirrels and numerous bird species are frequent visitors.

Inside, the cottage is rich with period charm. Mullioned windows, exposed beams and traditional features create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The open porch shelters a beautiful oak front door—likely original—leading into a generous hallway. The dining kitchen features an oil-fired Rayburn, while the spacious living room enjoys a stone-flagged floor with a feature fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. Upstairs are three lovely double bedrooms and a well-proportioned modern bathroom.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The front offers a wide flagged path with cottage-style borders, parking for two vehicles and gated access to further parking and the gardens. A good-sized attached garage/workshop with power and light provides excellent storage or hobby space.

To the rear lies a beautiful walled cottage garden with lawn, cobbled terrace and planted borders, summer house and a stone-built store housing the water system.

The cottage benefits from oil central heating which is run by the Rayburn, a modern spring-fed water supply and septic tank drainage.

Low Scar is a truly charming home—ideal for full-time living or a peaceful holiday retreat in a wonderfully rural yet accessible setting. Viewing is essential to appreciate its full character and appeal.
