Set on a sought-after street in Old Malton, this end-terrace two-bedroom cottage offers an honest, characterful home ready for its next owner. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a fully enclosed, well-stocked cottage garden that provides private outdoor space in a peaceful setting. Chain-free sale makes it suitable for a swift move or a straightforward buy-to-let purchase.
Internally the layout is simple and practical: a sitting room with a decorative fireplace, adjoining dining area and a fitted kitchen on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a bathroom above. At c.666 sq ft the accommodation is modest but well proportioned for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental in a popular location.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is constructed of older sandstone/limestone with assumed no cavity wall insulation, and the listing mentions a potential damp issue and limited front setback to the kerb. Parking is on-street only. The wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, which may affect some buyer preferences and rental yields.
Overall this cottage offers period charm, a lovely rear garden and a convenient, chain-free purchase in Old Malton. It is best suited to purchasers willing to accept an older property fabric and to carry any minor remedial works or targeted updating to maximise comfort or rental income.
