Summary - SCARTHROYD COTTAGE SESSAY THIRSK YO7 3BG
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom family home with expansive gardens and country views.
Over 2,900 sq ft of flexible living space
Set on the rural edge of Sessay, this substantial 1850 cottage has been sensitively extended to provide over 2,900 sq ft of flexible family accommodation. The principal spaces include a 30ft dual-aspect master suite, two further en-suite facilities, and a dramatic 29'10" L-shaped dining kitchen with granite surfaces and a large central island — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. Several reception rooms, a study and four multi-fuel stoves create versatile living zones and strong indoor–outdoor flow to the large paved terraces and lawned garden.
Practical strengths include a gated gravel driveway with generous parking and single garage, underfloor heating in the sitting room, and good mobile signal across the hamlet. The property is freehold, has an EPC rating of C, is not in a flood-risk area and benefits from far-reaching rural views beyond mature hedgerow boundaries.
Buyers should note the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and has solid brick walls assumed to be uninsulated, which can affect running costs and future insulation upgrade requirements. Broadband speeds are average (up to c.76 Mbps depending on provider) and council tax sits in the higher band F, reflecting the property’s size and rural location. There are no current valid planning permissions.
This is a large, well-presented country home for a family seeking rural space and flexible living; it also suits purchasers who value period character but are prepared to manage heating and insulation improvements to maximise energy efficiency.
