Set on an exceptionally private 0.75-acre plot just outside the North York Moors, this unspoilt early-19th-century cottage offers a rare rural setting with expansive mature gardens, woodland edge and long driveway parking. The house provides generous, characterful rooms across about 1,700 sq ft — dual-aspect sitting room with open fire, large living room with original fireplace and fitted bookshelves, a garden room opening onto a flagged terrace and a substantial breakfast kitchen with adjoining utility and cloakroom.
The property has been in the same ownership for over 40 years and now requires an extensive programme of renovation, making it an appealing project for a family seeking to create a bespoke countryside home. There is obvious scope to extend or reconfigure the accommodation (subject to planning), and the substantial grounds offer room for gardens, orchards or additional outbuildings.
Practical points to note: there is only one house bathroom, council tax is described as expensive, and core services, finishes and systems will need updating. The house is sold freehold and chain free, with ample off-street parking and a useful garage building.
For buyers prioritising privacy, space and character close to coastal walking and village amenities, this is a rare opportunity to restore and personalise a traditional country cottage in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and good local schools.
