Set well on Main Street in sought-after Wilberfoss, this three-bedroom detached cottage sits on a large, southerly-facing plot of roughly 100 ft. Period character — leaded windows, exposed brick and a coal-effect gas fireplace — combines with practical family spaces including a full-width conservatory/utility, dining room and a good-sized kitchen-breakfast room.
A major value driver is the detached garage/outbuilding with planning consent (Application No: 24/02386/PLF) to extend and convert into a one-bedroom annexe, offering intergenerational or rental potential. The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and the rear garden is a standout: deep lawn, paved sun patio and mature borders with Magnolia and Cherry Blossom.
The house has been in the same family for over 40 years and is generally well maintained externally, but the interior would benefit from some updating to match modern expectations. There is one bathroom and a small first-floor layout of three bedrooms, which may feel tight for larger families. Services note: the property currently reports oil-fired central heating though the seller is arranging installation of a gas boiler prior to completion; the EPC will follow.
This village location suits families seeking good schools and community amenities—Wilberfoss Primary is highly regarded—and commuters wanting easy access to York, A1079 and regular bus routes. Buyers should budget for internal modernisation and should review the approved annexe plans if considering extended use or rental income.
