Willerby Cottage is an attractively converted barn offering a single-storey layout with 1,144 sq ft of well-presented accommodation. The heart of the home is a vaulted, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with exposed beams, bi-folding doors to a private courtyard and a high-quality Howdens kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated appliances. Three generous bedrooms include a double with en-suite; a newly fitted house shower room serves the other bedrooms. Recent refurbishment throughout means minimal immediate maintenance and a modern, move-in condition.
Externally the property sits at the end of a private driveway behind a gated entrance, with gravelled off-street parking for several vehicles, a decked patio directly off the kitchen and mature boundaries giving good privacy. The courtyard setting is low-maintenance and private rather than a large lawned garden, and there is a bespoke powered shed for storage or workshop use. The setting is semi-rural/edge-of-village yet within easy reach of Skelton’s amenities and York’s outer ring road, Clifton Moor and Monks Cross retail parks.
Practical details that matter: the house is freehold and offered chain-free, has mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and no reported flood risk. Council tax is moderate and broadband speeds are fast. The property will suit buyers looking to downsize without compromising on space or finish, or those seeking a low-maintenance village home with good parking and strong privacy.
Points to note: the outdoor space is principally a gated courtyard and deck rather than a large family garden; the property occupies a compact single-storey footprint so buyers seeking extensive lawns or large external play areas should consider this. General village services are nearby, but the location is on the edge of village rather than in a town centre.
