Characterful two-bedroom cottage in sought-after village, close to moors and local amenities.
Stone-built Victorian mid-terrace cottage, full of character
A charming stone-built cottage tucked in Osmotherley, within the North York Moors National Park. The house offers traditional features such as a feature fireplace, exposed beams and characterful proportions across two bedrooms, arranged over a compact 580 sq ft layout. The open-plan living/dining room and fitted kitchen make efficient use of the space for everyday living.
Outside, the property benefits from a low-maintenance front garden, a private paved yard and a raised decked courtyard with two useful outbuildings. One outbuilding houses the oil-fired boiler; the other has electric power and could serve as storage or a workshop. The village setting provides easy access to local amenities including a shop, café and pubs, and good road links to the A19 and nearby Northallerton station.
Buyers should note the house is small and sits in a mid-terrace row dating from before 1900, with external stone walls assumed to have no insulation. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators; the oil tank is situated in the courtyard. Double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown. There is a right of way across a neighbouring property for bin access.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home or a countryside bolt-hole, and those prepared to accept a compact footprint and some fabric/efficiency limitations in exchange for location and charm.
