This Grade II listed cottage blends 18th-century character with a recent sympathetic refurbishment and a bright contemporary finish. Original features — exposed beams, stripped floorboards and painted stone walls — sit alongside a modern, sociable kitchen/diner with integrated appliances and two multi-fuel stoves, creating a warm, versatile family heart.
Arranged over multiple floors, the layout suits family life: a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite, two further double bedrooms, a single currently used as an office, plus useful attic storage and a laundry/cloak room. The private, enclosed east-facing garden with flagged terraces and well-stocked borders is low-maintenance and child-friendly, while nearby amenities, rail links and outstanding countryside make the location especially convenient.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property, so external and some internal changes will be restricted and may require listed-building consent. The sandstone walls are original and assumed uninsulated, and the installed double glazing dates from before 2002 — both factors to consider for future energy upgrades. Parking is traditional cobbled forecourt/off-street and on-street nearby rather than a dedicated garage.
Overall, this newly renovated end-terrace cottage offers period charm and contemporary living for a family wanting character, good local schools and easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District, provided they are comfortable with listed-status constraints and modest plot size.
