Turnkey holiday-let or cosy village home with moorland views.
Stone-built Georgian terraced cottage with exposed stone and character features
A handsome stone-built cottage in the heart of Egton, offered as a ready-made, income-producing holiday let or a charming permanent home. The property spans three floors and combines original character—exposed stone, sash-style windows and a feature fireplace—with tasteful contemporary fittings and a well-equipped kitchen. The rear garden looks across open moorland, providing a rare village-facing rural outlook within the North York Moors National Park.
The current layout includes a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove, a flagstone-floored kitchen opening to the garden, ground-floor WC, two bedrooms and a house bathroom with freestanding slipper bath and separate shower. Heating is by efficient electric heaters with the wood-burner as additional heat; the cottage is compact at about 760 sq ft and is well maintained for immediate occupation or continuing as a holiday let. Contents can be purchased separately, which supports continued short-term rental use.
Important practical points are clear: the building dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, with glazing and wall insulation not defined. Main heating relies largely on portable electric heaters and anthracite is listed as the main fuel source, so buyers should budget for potential upgrades (insulation, full central heating, double glazing) if they plan long-term owner-occupation. Broadband is average, mobile signal is excellent, and the village offers low crime, local amenities and good primary schools.
For investors this is a turnkey holiday-let with strong credentials and attractive countryside views; for someone seeking a village home it’s a characterful, compact property that will reward sensitive updating. Either way, factor in probable modernization to improve thermal performance and heating costs over time.
