Large plot and countryside views close to York and Harrogate.
Two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage with period features
Appletree Cottage is a charming two-bedroom Victorian semi with generous rear rural views and a very large garden, ideal for outdoor entertaining and private relaxation. The house sits on a sizeable plot with off-street parking for two cars and two adjoining red-brick outbuildings that offer storage or light workshop potential. Accommodation is traditionally laid out across two floors: kitchen, small utility, living room and bathroom on the ground floor, with a large principal bedroom and another bedroom upstairs.
The property has period character — red brick elevations, chimney, fireplace and some built-in shelving — but also clear scope for modernisation and personalisation. The building is of solid brick construction (likely uninsulated), heated by an oil-fired boiler with radiators, and currently carries an EPC rating of E; upgrading insulation, heating and windows would improve performance and running costs. There is a single bathroom serving the house and some dated fixtures, so buyers should allow for updating in their plans.
Appletree Cottage suits a buyer seeking countryside living within easy driving distance of Boroughbridge, Thirsk, York (approx. 18 miles) and Harrogate (approx. 16 miles). It will particularly appeal to downsizers or buyers wanting a period home with garden space and renovation potential. There is no material flood risk and the area is very affluent with low crime, but purchasers should factor in oil fuel running costs and likely retrofit works to address thermal efficiency.
