Thorneywaite Cottage is a substantial stone-built family home quietly set within the North York Moors National Park, offering over 2,400 sq ft of flexible living space and almost 0.6 acres of mature, well-tended gardens. The house combines period charm with practical improvements such as double glazing and a sizable ground-floor reception room that can serve as a fifth bedroom with an adjoining shower room—ideal for multi-generational living or guests.
The property sits elevated within its plot and enjoys far-reaching moorland and countryside views from all sides. Internally there are multiple reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, separate dining room with garden access, and four first-floor bedrooms served by a main bathroom. Outside, a lengthy driveway, ample parking and an integral double garage add convenience for family life in a rural location.
The village of Glaisdale is a short walk away and provides everyday amenities, an outstanding primary school and community facilities, with wider services in Whitby and connections via the Esk Valley line. The setting is peaceful and private, well suited to buyers seeking country living with good local provision.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds are slow and the council tax band is above average. The property has been in the same ownership for around 50 years, and while it has been maintained and updated in parts, you should expect some rooms or systems may benefit from further modernisation. Access is via rural lanes which may affect larger delivery or servicing requirements and may be a consideration for some buyers.
