Barn Cottage is a roomy, well-presented detached family home tucked into a quiet village close to York and Pocklington. The house offers generous reception space, a sun-catching south‑and‑west facing rear garden and flexible ground- and first-floor accommodation that will suit family life and home working. The stone‑tiled garden room with vaulted ceiling and the adjoining living spaces create a bright, sociable core for everyday living and entertaining.
The property is freehold, detached and set in a peaceful cul‑de‑sac with off‑street parking and a good-sized garage. Modern comforts include double glazing throughout, fast broadband, and an EPC Band A rating. The layout includes a useful ground-floor room that could work as a family room, playroom or bedroom with a nearby bathroom — handy for multi‑generational use or flexible living arrangements.
Practical matters: heating is oil-fired to a boiler and radiators, so ongoing fuel and tank maintenance should be factored into running costs. The construction is timber‑frame (1996–2002) with additional insulation; this gives good energy performance but means maintenance and repair considerations differ from traditional masonry. The plot is modest in size despite the house’s large internal area, so outdoor space is private but relatively low-maintenance rather than extensive.
In short, this is a comfortable, characterful village home with versatile living spaces, easy access to local amenities, canal walks and good schools nearby. It will suit buyers seeking a ready-to-enjoy family property in an affluent, low-crime rural community, while those wanting large grounds or a masonry-built period home should note the plot size and construction type.
