This attractively refurbished two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the village of Newton-on-Ouse, just over six miles north of York. The house was comprehensively updated in 2022–23 and offers a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a stylish dining kitchen with integrated appliances, and a useful home office/third small room. The south-facing, part-walled rear garden is neatly landscaped with a deck, lawn, kitchen garden and two storage sheds.
Practical daily living is supported by gas central heating, double glazing and a newly fitted kitchen and utility area. The property is sold freehold and with no onward chain, which can speed up moving. On-street parking serves the cottage; the plot and internal footprint are modest, reflecting typical village cottage proportions and a compact total area of about 592 sq ft.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is a period solid-brick construction and is assumed to lack cavity wall insulation, double glazing was fitted before 2002, the EPC rating is D, and broadband speeds are limited in the area. There are no current planning permissions, and room sizes are generally small to average — this home suits someone seeking a characterful, low-maintenance village base rather than a large family house.
Overall this cottage will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or couples looking for a renovated period home close to York. It offers immediate move-in condition, genuine village charm and a private, sunny garden, while also presenting straightforward improvement opportunities for anyone wanting to enhance energy performance or internal space planning.
