Set in the picturesque village of Middleham, this charming one-bedroom stone cottage offers immediate holiday-let or second-home potential. The open-plan living area features exposed beams, a wood stove and rustic character that will appeal to visitors seeking an authentic Yorkshire stay. At around 484 sq ft, the layout is compact and manageable for short-term rental or low-maintenance ownership.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold and offered chain free, with on-street parking nearby and good local amenities and transport links via the A6108. The cottage’s rural setting delivers miles of scenic views and access to popular village facilities, increasing its appeal as a holiday let or bolt-hole for buyers seeking countryside character.
There are notable running and upgrade costs to factor in. The EPC rating of F and electric storage heaters mean heating costs can be high; the stone walls were built before 1900 and are assumed to lack insulation. The plot is very small, so there is no private garden space, and parking is on-street only. These are offset by low local crime, an affluent surrounding area, and nearby schools with good Ofsted ratings.
For an investor or buyer seeking a characterful, low-footprint property in a desirable village, this cottage offers strong short-term rental appeal with scope for energy-efficiency improvements. Buyers should budget for potential insulation work and higher electricity-based heating bills when assessing affordability and returns.
