This stone-built mid-terrace cottage sits in the peaceful village of Ampleforth, offering two bedrooms across almost 690 sq ft. The house retains period character with sash-style windows and a modest front garden, while benefiting from uPVC double glazing and recently installed electric heating. It is an appealing option for someone seeking a charming country home with scope to modernise.
The standout feature is the exceptionally long rear garden, accessed via a small yard and coal store — a rare plot size for a terrace. The garden rises to open countryside, providing attractive southerly views and real potential for landscaping, an extension (subject to consent) or a productive kitchen garden.
The interior is practical but requires updating: compact principal rooms, a single bathroom and some modernisation needs throughout. The layout includes a sitting room, kitchen with walk-in pantry and two first-floor bedrooms. Buyers should expect renovation work to refresh finishes and improve layout efficiency where desired.
Location is a strong selling point. Ampleforth sits between the North York Moors and the Howardian Hills, with local amenities including shops, a pub, a doctor’s surgery and two primary schools. Broadband, mobile signal and low crime levels suit remote working or rural living. The property is freehold with no flooding risk and affordable council tax, making it a straightforward purchase for downsizers or renovators seeking countryside character.
