Rye House is a double-fronted Victorian cottage in quiet Brawby, set on a very large plot with attractive front and rear gardens. The house offers traditional character — red brick, sash-style windows and a recently installed wood-burning stove (HETAS certified) in the sitting room — and is well placed for Malton, Pickering and the North York Moors.
The layout provides a through kitchen/dining room with adjacent utility/pantry, a sitting room and three bedrooms upstairs, making it suitable for a small family or as a countryside retreat. Practical benefits include double glazing fitted since 2002, mains services, fast broadband and affordable council tax (Band C). The property is freehold and vacant possession will be given on completion.
Important practical points: the cottage requires renovation and modernisation throughout. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, ceilings are generally low and the accommodation totals about 866 sq ft, so space is modest. Heating is by an LPG boiler and radiators (not a mains gas supply) and there is a medium flood risk to note for buyers and insurers.
This is a realistic opportunity for someone seeking period character and a large garden in a peaceful, rural village — buyers should budget for refurbishment, possible insulation works and consider ongoing fuel costs with LPG. Overall, the house offers clear potential but will suit purchasers prepared to invest time and money to modernise.
