A characterful mid-terraced stone cottage in the popular village of Temple Sowerby, Whitestones combines period charm with generous internal space. The house offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen, all arranged over a traditionally compact cottage layout yet totalling a surprisingly large 1,432 sq ft. Front and rear gardens provide outdoor privacy and scope for planting or children’s play.
Practicals are straightforward: Council Tax Band C, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working or connected family life. Local primary schools are well regarded and village amenities include a shop, doctors, recreation facilities and regular bus services, making this a convenient rural base.
There are some important considerations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, reflected in the EPC rating of E — upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Some internal elements show dated decor and low ceilings in places; the property will suit buyers ready to carry out cosmetic updating or more extensive modernisation.
This cottage will appeal to first-time buyers or couples seeking an affordable, character home in an affluent and quiet village setting, or to those wanting a renovation project with good size and scope. Tenure details are not provided and should be confirmed early in the buying process.
