Period charm with large gardens and versatile outbuildings near Malton.
Approx 0.25 acre plot with open, unspoilt front-facing aspects
Set on roughly 0.25 acres just west of Malton, this Victorian stone cottage combines period character with recent, sympathetic renovation. Two generous reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen and extensive insulation improvements give comfortable, ready-to-move-in accommodation for family life. The mature gardens and open front-facing views across adjacent pasture create a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of Malton’s shops and rail links.
The plot includes substantial outbuildings: a rebuilt, insulated lodge-style building currently housing a heated hydrotherapy pool (air-source heat pump) that would make an excellent home office or studio if converted, plus a timber carport and garden store. Ample off-street parking and a large turning area suit multiple vehicles or trailers, and the siting offers obvious scope to extend subject to planning consent.
Practical details: the property benefits from replacement windows and doors, improved insulation under a Green Deal scheme, and a modernised kitchen and bathroom. Main heating was upgraded as part of the 2013 works (combined solid fuel and oil-fired central heating), and broadband speeds are fast—useful for remote working and family connectivity.
Notable considerations: the house has one ground-floor bathroom serving three bedrooms, which may suit some buyers but could feel limiting for larger households. Drainage is via a private shared system, and any extension or conversion plans will require the usual planning and drainage approvals. Overall this is a characterful, well-presented cottage with a large garden and versatile outbuildings ideal for family living or home-working.
