Characterful three-bedroom house with garden, parking and energy upgrades.
Chain-free Victorian end-terrace with period features
Set on Front Street in tranquil Appleton Wiske, this end-of-terrace Victorian house combines period character with modern efficiency. Stone-built walls, a bay-windowed reception room and exposed beams create a warm, lived-in feel; photovoltaic panels and an air-source heat pump help keep running costs lower than typical for an older home.
The ground floor flows from an entrance hall to a cosy living room with multi-fuel stove and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with direct access to a substantial, landscaped rear garden. Outside offers off-street parking for two, a gated side passage for bins and bikes, a summer house and a garden pond — well-suited to family life and entertaining.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with walk-in shower. The loft is boarded and insulated for useful storage. Practical points are straightforward: chain-free freehold sale, Council Tax Band C and an EPC rating of C. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the village setting benefits from very low crime and a selection of local amenities.
This is a characterful village home needing routine care associated with pre-1900 construction and traditional finishes. Double glazing is present though install dates are unknown; buyers should note the single bathroom and assess any desired modernisation. For families seeking a peaceful, well-equipped rural home with good energy upgrades, this property offers immediate comfort and sensible potential.
