Highfield Cottage is a well-presented three-bedroom detached home on the edge of Knaresborough’s market town, set within a private plot of around 0.133 acres (c. 537 sqm). The house combines traditional character—exposed timbers and a multi-fuel stove—with recent improvements including a refitted kitchen, a modern bathroom and an en-suite wet room. Two reception rooms and a large enclosed garden suit family life or entertaining.
Practical strengths include ample off-street parking, a garage/workshop and a substantial detached outbuilding that offers conversion potential for a home office or studio, subject to the necessary planning and building consents. The vaulted principal bedroom with exposed A‑frame timbers and the dining room opening onto the rear terrace are standout living features.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is heated by an LPG boiler (no mains gas), drains to a shared septic tank, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. Council Tax is in Band E (above average). These factors affect running costs and any future renovation scope.
Overall the house will suit families seeking generous outdoor space and parking close to schools and town amenities, or buyers wanting a character cottage with clear potential to adapt the outbuilding. The setting and condition mean the property is ready to occupy with scope for energy or cosmetic improvements to increase long‑term value.
