Chain free substantial period cottage on very large plot
Set behind wrought-iron gates on a very large plot, Westfield Cottage is a substantial period home in Kirk Hammerton, offered chain free. The house retains original character—high ceilings, a double-height reception hall, timber gables and a stone fireplace—while generous room proportions create flexible family living and entertaining spaces. The rear lounge opens to the garden and countryside, and the detached double garage includes a fully boarded games room with potential for conversion (subject to consents).
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating is needed and some systems may warrant review. Heating is by LPG and drainage is via a water treatment plant; broadband speeds are very slow. These are practical considerations for everyday running costs and future improvements. Council Tax is in the higher band (Band G).
For families, the location is a strong draw: Kirk Hammerton has a well-regarded primary school and easy rail links to York, Harrogate and beyond, with the A1/M nearby. The large, private garden, off-street parking and double garage will appeal to those who value outside space and village living. Investors or buyers seeking a sympathetic renovation project will see clear scope to increase value by upgrading services and finishes.
