Strawberry Cottage is an impressive period family home blending original character with extensive modern renovation. Thought to date from c.1802 and recently refurbished and extended, the house offers about 2,780 sq ft of well-presented accommodation including five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The heart of the house is a vast L-shaped dining kitchen/living space (circa 650 sq ft) with a roof lantern and direct access onto a large paved seating area — ideal for entertaining and family life.
Set on a very large, professionally landscaped plot approaching one acre, the grounds include lawns, an orchard, productive vegetable and herb beds, a greenhouse, garden room with bi-fold doors, outdoor kitchen and multiple sheltered seating areas. A remote-controlled gated driveway leads to parking, an oak-framed car port and a double garage with loft storage — practical for families who need vehicle space and storage.
Practical details are notable: fast broadband (up to 76 Mbps reported), low local crime, no flood risk and village amenities close by with good schools and easy access to York and the A19. There are no current valid planning permissions. Council tax is high (Band F) and the listing records mixed heating information (air-source heat pump with underfloor heating is specified, while other notes reference oil-fired heating) — buyers should verify the heating systems and running costs.
This property suits buyers seeking a high-quality rural family home with strong indoor–outdoor flow, generous ancillary buildings and mature, private gardens. The house has considerable move-in-ready appeal after the renovation, but prospective purchasers should check heating arrangements and any ongoing maintenance obligations for the sizeable grounds.
