Summary - WHITE COTTAGE HIGH LANE BEADLAM YORK YO62 7SX
3 bed 3 bath House
Charming 17th-century thatched cottage on a large private plot, ideal as a country or holiday home.
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage with extensive period features
A rare, characterful thatched cottage dating largely from the 17th century, White Cottage combines historic charm with practical country living. Set on a large, private corner plot of about 0.3 acres, the house offers two reception rooms, a garden room, three double bedrooms, dressing room and three bathrooms, together with generous parking, outbuildings and a fine valley outlook. Its period features — timber beams, stone flags, window seats and exposed trusses — have been retained alongside sympathetic modernisation.
The setting will appeal to buyers seeking a country home, second/holiday property or a holiday-let opportunity; the location is midway between Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside and just outside the North York Moors, with village amenities and an ‘Outstanding’ secondary school within walking distance. Practical positives include fast broadband, a large driveway with space for six+ cars, garage/store outbuildings and a productive garden with sheltered terrace and summerhouse.
There are important constraints to note: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will be restricted and will cause difficulties; the property uses electric heating and is EPC-exempt as a listed building. Some external buildings are in need of repair or renovation (one derelict outbuilding; summerhouse requires work). Internally rooms have historic proportions with low to medium ceiling heights and steeply pitched first-floor ceilings — these contribute character but limit some layouts and modern conversions.
Overall this is a property of strong character and scope: for the incoming owner it offers immediate enjoyment, rental potential and room for modest renovation rather than wholesale redevelopment. Buyers should factor in listed-building constraints, maintenance of thatch and older fabric, and higher council tax (Band F) when considering the purchase.
