Set on a large plot in Gate Helmsley, this Grade II listed cottage has been sensitively and recently renovated to retain period features while providing contemporary comfort. The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen/diner with oak worktops, island seating and large double-glazed windows that flood the space with light; multiple reception rooms with exposed beams and two log burners create versatile family living. The principal suite, reached via a separate stairwell, offers a dressing room and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath, while two further bedrooms include en-suite facilities.
Outside, mature gardens wrap the house, offering privacy, lawn, patio, greenhouse and summer house, with far-reaching rural views across surrounding fields. A sloped driveway leads to gravel parking and a double garage, providing ample vehicle space. The village location is rural but well connected—around 6 miles from York and close to Stamford Bridge, with good primary schools nearby.
Important practical points are clear: the property’s Grade II listed status means alterations will be restricted and may complicate planning or maintenance work. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home-working; council tax is listed as expensive. Overall, this is a high-quality, characterful family home for buyers who value period charm, substantial outdoor space and sympathetic modern upgrades, and who understand the obligations of owning a listed building.
