Hillrise Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom semi detached cottage in the historic village of Aldborough, a short drive from Boroughbridge and the A1(M). The house offers generous reception space across two main reception rooms plus a separate dining area, three double bedrooms and an enclosed rear garden with an outbuilding — practical for families or those wanting a country base with good road links.
The property has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), gas-fired central heating and an EPC rating of D. It is offered freehold and with no onward chain, which simplifies purchase, but the house does require a program of improvements throughout — the kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, and overall the accommodation will reward updating and insulation work.
Practical positives include a private garden, usable outbuilding, fast broadband and proximity to good primary schools and local amenities in Boroughbridge. Buyers should note material considerations: the house needs renovation, the walls are likely uninsulated, council tax is above average and local crime levels are above average. This is a solid opportunity for a family seeking character, space and scope to add value in a desirable rural setting.
Viewings will suit purchasers prepared to invest in modernisation or tradespeople wanting a comfortable village home with scope to improve energy performance and interior finishes.
