A newly refurbished period cottage set discreetly behind Market Place, The Old School House combines historic character with contemporary living across 1,384 sq ft. The conversion retains character touches — exposed beams, sash-window aspects — while delivering a smart dining kitchen, bi-fold doors and a light, airy living room with wood-burning stove. The master occupies the top floor with an en-suite and far-reaching triple aspect; two further double bedrooms and a main bathroom sit on the upper levels.
Outside space is deliberately low-maintenance: a sheltered sun terrace accessed from bedroom two and a garden room that opens to the outdoor area via bi-folds. The plot is small and tucked away rather than sprawling, making the property ideal for buyers seeking a manageable, central home rather than extensive grounds.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and no flooding risk. The house is arranged over multiple floors (including a cellar) which adds character and space but may be less convenient for anyone with limited mobility. The town centre location brings shops, services and good primary/secondary schools within easy reach, while the North York Moors and Heritage Coast are close by for countryside access.
Overall this is a stylish, characterful home finished to a high standard and well suited to buyers wanting a low-upkeep, centrally located dwelling — particularly downsizers or families who value town living and easy connectivity. Buyers should note the small plot and multi-storey layout when assessing accessibility needs.
