A compact Victorian end-terraced cottage offering two bedrooms, generous south-facing garden and clear scope to modernise. The property sits on a large corner plot in Helperby with useful outbuildings and off-road parking — a rare combination for a village cottage. Sold freehold and with no onward chain, it suits buyers wanting a manageable project near Easingwold, Boroughbridge and York.
Internally the layout is straightforward: sitting room, kitchen/diner, utility/pantry and two first-floor bedrooms with a bathroom. The house has PVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating but needs updating throughout; walls are likely solid brick without modern insulation and the kitchen and bathroom are dated. Energy improvements and full refurbishment will significantly enhance comfort and value.
The rear garden extends to approximately 60ft x 40ft with a southerly aspect and two larger outbuildings (plus several smaller stores and a privy) that offer conversion or workshop potential, subject to planning. There is off-street parking via a shared drive. Buyers should note an overage clause: 20% of any uplift in value from planning for additional dwelling(s) on the rear garden payable to the seller for 20 years.
Practical considerations: the main heating is oil, broadband and mobile signals are average, and the property is in a low-crime, affluent rural area. This cottage will appeal to first-time purchasers or investors seeking a period home with character and clear renovation upside, provided they accept refurbishment and the overage restriction.
