Description
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a delightful home in a peaceful, attractive, unspoilt Yorkshire Wolds village. The next door village has two pubs, a post office and shop and a thriving village school. The village has good access to the A64 and is within easily commutable distance of York. York itself is less than 2 hours by train from London. There is also easy access to the nearby beautiful East Coast beaches. The cottage is set in nearly three acres of land which includes a well stocked garden, an orchard, paddock and an area of recently planted woodland. Built in the 1860s, as farm labourers cottages, the existing property is the combination of two smaller cottages. The house is set well back from the road behind the large expanse of village green. The Gypsey Race, a gentle beck, flows through the green in front of the house. The cottage boasts a bright and spacious kitchen with an Aga, free standing beech units and windows to both the south and west. There is plumbing for both a dishwasher and a washing machine. There are four cosy reception rooms, each one different. One with a large fireplace, another with a cast iron woodburning stove, another currently used as a study/computer room. The five bedrooms include two double rooms and three single. Two of the single rooms have bespoke built-in high beds, ideal for children. The two bathrooms include one with a free-standing cast iron bath and one with an electric shower. Outside there is a large area of York stone patio which is perfectly positioned to catch the sun. There are also several outbuildings which could lend themselves to a variety of uses including stables, storage or subject to the necessary consents, further living accommodation. At the end of the driveway is a large, double garage.
