Classic Victorian stonework and a peaceful village setting make this four-bedroom cottage a rare countryside opportunity. Originally two cottages, the house offers generous rooms and a flexible layout across multiple storeys, ideal for a growing family or someone seeking renovation with scope to reconfigure or recreate two properties. Chain free and freehold, it’s ready for a buyer who wants to add value.
The property needs comprehensive updating throughout: the kitchen is dated, heating appears to be electric room heaters (a description also references oil-fired heating — buyers should verify), and walls are likely uninsulated stone. Double glazing was fitted after 2002, and the solid-room proportions and feature fireplaces provide strong period character to restore and enhance.
Outside, a small front garden with iron railings fronts open countryside views, with a private rear garden and hardstanding suitable for a seating area. There is unrestricted parking opposite and potential to create off-street parking to the left of the property. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — factor this in if working from home.
Local amenities are close by: Ripley and Birstwith offer shops, pubs, schools and medical facilities, and good independent schooling is within easy reach. With very low local crime, affluent surroundings and a prospering countryside community, this cottage offers scope for a comfortable family home or a renovation project with noticeable upside.
