A beautifully restored Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Cawood, this detached two-bedroom home combines genuine period character with modern comforts. Exposed timber beams, a feature fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and sympathetic restoration work give the house a charming, bespoke feel. The compact but modern kitchen, separate utility and ground-floor WC add practical convenience for everyday living.
Outside, the low-maintenance walled cottage garden is a standout: a sunken outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, barbecue and an exposed historic well create a private entertaining space rarely found in village properties. The plot is small but neatly landscaped and benefits from free on-street parking directly in front.
Practical details to note: the property uses oil-fired central heating and has solid brick walls typical of pre-1900 construction, which can limit insulation options. As a Grade II listed building, any alterations or extensions will require listed-building consent and may restrict works or add cost. Overall, this is an ideal home for buyers seeking a characterful, low-upkeep village cottage with strong appeal as a permanent home, weekend retreat or holiday-let subject to consents.
Nearest amenities include local shops, a pub and good primary and secondary schools nearby. With very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, the cottage sits comfortably for modern rural living while retaining authentic historic character.
