This extensively modernised detached cottage sits on a generous plot in the quiet village of Holtby, just east of York. The house blends traditional character — exposed beams, brick chimney, wood-burning stove — with recent upgrades throughout, giving move-in-ready accommodation for a growing family or commuter household.
The ground floor offers flexible living: a cottage-style sitting room, separate dining room (which could be opened into the kitchen), a family room that could serve as a fourth bedroom, modern fitted kitchen, utility and a down‑stairs cloakroom. Upstairs are three good double bedrooms, a master dressing area with en‑suite, and a modern family bathroom with both shower and freestanding claw-foot bath.
Outside there is a large lawned garden with veg plots and a duck pen, a purpose-built garden office, several outbuildings and a sizeable garage/workshop with vaulted ceiling currently used for vehicle restoration. Gravel drive and double car port provide off-street parking for around four cars. Broadband and mobile signal are described as average; the area is very affluent with low crime and easy transport links to York.
Important practical points: the building is a period property (pre‑1900) with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), an EPC rating of D (61) and above-average council tax. No current planning permissions are noted. These facts make the house a charming, well-updated rural family home that retains period character but may benefit from targeted energy-efficiency improvements in future.
