Set within a highly sought-after village location, Laragh Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom semi-detached home offering generous, flexible living across approximately 1,600 sq ft. Period features — exposed beams, feature fireplaces and stone walls — give the house warmth and charm, while extended living spaces include four reception rooms, a garden room with wood-burning stove and a breakfast room opening onto a private courtyard. The property is sold with no onward chain.
The plot is a strong practical benefit: a private cottage front garden, a tiered courtyard ideal for entertaining, gated block-paved driveway and a substantial double garage with electric doors. An external office provides useful separate workspace. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity.
Practical points to note: the house uses oil-fired central heating (there is no village gas supply), and the solid stone walls are assumed to have little or no insulation — there is scope and likely benefit in targeted modernisation and thermal upgrades. Council Tax is band F and described as expensive. The property sits within a conservation area, which preserves character but can restrict certain external alterations.
This home will suit families or downsizers who value village life, good local schools and easy access to Knaresborough and the A1(M). Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and potential to update heating, insulation and decorative finishes to your taste.
