Butts Cottage is a charming two-bedroom Georgian cottage in the sought-after village of Green Hammerton, set on a very large plot with an enclosed, mature garden and patio. Period features include exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove; large windows and sash-style glazing allow generous natural light. The layout provides a sitting room, dining room with bi-fold doors to the garden, a well-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and an attic/occasional room accessed by open steps — useful as a home office or storage.
The property offers genuine character and garden privacy, appealing to families or buyers seeking village life close to York and Harrogate with easy A1 access. The brick outbuilding houses utility space and there is scope to enhance indoor living areas, subject to planning and listed/heritage considerations if applicable. Broadband is fast and the local schools are well-regarded, adding practical appeal for families.
Buyers should note this is a historic solid-brick building (c.1750) with no known cavity insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002. Heating is via a community oil scheme; these factors may mean insulation, window upgrades and heating modernisation are advisable. Open attic steps and the multi-storey layout are characterful but potentially less suitable for mobility-restricted buyers.
Overall, the cottage balances period charm, a substantial private garden and a village setting with clear maintenance and upgrade requirements. It will suit purchasers who value character and outdoor space and who are prepared to invest in thermal improvements and modernisation.
