This much-improved period cottage combines character features with modern comforts, making it an inviting choice for downsizers or anyone seeking a low-maintenance town-base. Recent renovation work has refreshed the interiors throughout: polished limestone floors, a fitted shaker kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and two modern bathrooms give ready-to-live-in accommodation across two floors.
The cottage sits in a quiet yard just off Bedale market place, an easy walk to shops and weekly markets. A sitting room with a stone fireplace and multi-fuel stove, a useful utility room with the gas boiler tucked away, and good fibre broadband create a comfortable, practical home. The property is freehold and vacant on completion, with mains gas central heating and double glazing already installed.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s external stone walls are original and assumed to lack cavity insulation, and the EPC is a modest 53 (E). The small paved area to the front provides limited outdoor space only, and the side parking area is currently used by owners but is not included on the title deeds (unencumbered use reported for 20+ years). These factors affect running costs, potential improvements and the parking legal position.
Overall this cottage offers immediate appeal for someone wanting a characterful, recently renovated home in a very affluent, small-town setting. It’s particularly well suited to downsizers, holiday let operators or buyers seeking a low-upkeep second home near the Yorkshire Dales, with scope to improve energy performance and formalise parking if required.
