White Swan Cottage is a characterful stone cottage in the historic racing village of Middleham. The ground floor is open-plan with wooden floors, an exposed stone feature wall and a multi-fuel stove; the fitted kitchen includes an electric oven, hob, slimline dishwasher, washing machine and fridge. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor beneath exposed beams, served by a modern shower room with quality fittings.
The cottage is presented in good order and has a proven holiday-let history, making it suitable as a first home, second residence or income property. Off-street parking is available and there is a small planted area to the front; the property faces a shared gravel courtyard which must be kept clear. Broadband speeds are fast and the village has very low crime rates and good local schools nearby.
Buyers should note the building dates from before 1900 and retains traditional construction with sandstone/limestone walls assumed to lack insulation. Heating is by electric room heaters (plus the multi-fuel stove) and double glazing was installed before 2002. Tenure details are not provided. These factors suggest potential for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating if desired.
Overall this is a compact, character-rich cottage that offers immediate comfort and clear renovation or income potential. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a well-located, low-maintenance rural base in a popular equestrian and tourist town, or investors targeting an established holiday-let.
