Summary - 8 CASTLEGATE EAST AYTON SCARBOROUGH YO13 9EJ
3 bed 1 bath House
Charming village cottage with garage, gardens and pasture views.
Grade II listed character cottage with exposed beams and sash windows
A beautifully presented Grade II listed stone cottage in the popular village of East Ayton, May Cottage blends genuine period character with recent updating. Exposed beams, a brick fireplace and sash windows give strong cottage charm while a bespoke farmhouse kitchen, re-roofing around two years ago and recent redecorating make the house ready to live in.
The house sits quietly set back from the road with front and rear gardens, a private paved courtyard, utility/workshop, and a detached garage with power and light. Parking for two cars and far-reaching views across pasture towards Ayton Castle add countryside appeal while local amenities and a well-regarded primary school are within easy walking distance.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate some renovation work. The footprint and plot are modest — the garden is small to average — and there is one bathroom serving three bedrooms. Flood risk is assessed as medium in this area, so buyers should check insurance and local authority advice before proceeding.
This home will suit buyers who value character, a quiet village setting and useful outbuildings, yet want a largely move-in-ready cottage. It also offers potential for sympathetic improvements subject to listed-building consents; early viewing is recommended to appreciate the views and versatile accommodation.
