Wheatsheaf Cottage is a traditional stone-built home set in the quiet village of Egton, inside the North York Moors National Park. The house offers four bedrooms across three floors, a cosy lounge with a cast-iron open fire, and a large kitchen/diner with a Rayburn and farmhouse sink — characterful features that suit family life or a countryside bolt-hole.
Outside there is private off-street parking for several vehicles to the front and an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden with mature hedging and gravelled areas. The plot is notably large for the village and provides space for outdoor dining, children’s play or simple relaxation overlooking rural surroundings.
Practical points: heating is oil-fired via the Rayburn and boiler; glazing is secondary and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated, so the property will benefit from energy improvements. Broadband speeds are average and the house is currently tenanted, so viewing availability and interior finishes may differ from earlier photographs.
This cottage works well as a family home, a holiday let in a sought-after National Park location, or a renovation project for someone wanting to upgrade energy efficiency while retaining period character. The location delivers very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and access to small local schools and village amenities, with Whitby a short drive away.
