Set in the popular village of Osmotherley within the North York Moors National Park, this Grade II listed stone cottage offers authentic character in a compact, chain-free package. The cosy living room features exposed beams and a wood burner, creating a warm, atmospheric living space that suits single buyers or couples seeking a rural bolt-hole. Two small outbuildings/coal sheds add useful storage and garden access at the rear.
The accommodation is modest (circa 380 sq ft) and arranged over multiple levels: a small living room, rear kitchen with basic integrated appliances and cupboard space, and a large first-floor double bedroom with separate bathroom. The property is presented with traditional finishes but its listed status means any alterations or upgrades will require listed-building consent and can be more complex and costly.
Practical considerations: parking is on-street only, the rear yard/garden area is shared with neighbours, and broadband speeds are slow — factors to weigh for home-working or car-owning buyers. There are no flood risks and the village offers good local amenities, excellent mobile signal, low crime and easy access to outdoor recreation and transport links.
Overall this is a characterful, low-maintenance cottage ideal as a first home, weekend retreat or buy-to-let for those comfortable with a small footprint and the restrictions that come with Grade II listing.
