Set just outside Northallerton in the peaceful village of Morton on Swale, this newly renovated period cottage combines traditional charm with contemporary comfort. The living spaces are arranged across two storeys and include a cosy beamed lounge with wood-burning stove, a separate dining room, and a kitchen-breakfast room with utility and conservatory — arranged for everyday family life and entertaining. The largest bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; a well-equipped family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside, the generous rear garden is laid to lawn and arranged for low-maintenance family use, with raised decking, a stone patio with BBQ/pizza oven area, water feature/fishpond and space set aside for a hot-tub. Practical outbuildings and a gated gravel parking area provide secure storage, a double carport and a garage — useful for bikes, tools or a home gym/office. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working.
The house sits in an affluent, low-crime rural community close to local shops and primary schools; Northallerton’s wider amenities are a short drive away. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Note the building is of traditional solid-brick construction (pre‑1900) and, while recently modernised, external walls are assumed uninsulated which could affect thermal performance compared with cavity‑filled homes.
This cottage will suit families seeking a period home ready to move into, or downsizers wanting single-level living on a manageable plot with useful parking. Buyers should be aware of the property’s traditional construction and narrow street-facing frontage — both typical of older village cottages — and may want to investigate wall insulation options if maximum energy efficiency is important.
