This chain-free period cottage sits in the heart of Cawood, offering a compact, characterful first home. The accommodation includes two bedrooms, a cosy lounge with an open fire, and a modern kitchen and shower room. Neutral décor and double glazing give a move-in-ready feel while retaining period charm.
The property is practical for low-maintenance living: a small rear courtyard, free on-street parking and convenient village amenities close by. Regular buses link to York and Selby, and local schools are well regarded, supporting young families or commuters.
Buyers should note the cottage is modest in size (circa 625 sqft) with solid brick walls that likely lack insulation and electric room heaters as the main heating source. There is a neighbour’s right of way across the rear for access and bin collection. These factors may mean future insulation and heating upgrades are worthwhile to improve comfort and running costs.
Overall, this terraced cottage is a straightforward, affordable entry into village living — ideal for first-time buyers wanting period character with basic modern conveniences and clear scope for sensible improvements.
