Compact two-bedroom home with garden and storage outbuilding near amenities.
Mid-terrace stone cottage in Pickering town centre
A compact, characterful mid-terrace stone cottage positioned on one of Pickering’s older streets, moments from the market place. The living room centres on a log burner and flows to a fitted oak kitchen and separate utility room, giving useful everyday space for a couple or first-time buyers. Two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes sit on the first floor and a ground-floor shower room keeps the layout simple and practical.
Externally the cottage benefits from a surprisingly generous rear garden that backs onto the churchyard and includes a useful brick outbuilding for storage. The garden is currently overgrown and will require tidy-up, but offers scope for a pleasant lawn and planted borders or a sheltered sitting area.
Practical details that matter: freehold tenure, gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property has an EPC rating of D and sits in Council Tax Band B, so there is scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs. The house is small overall (approximately 561 sq ft) so buyers should expect compact rooms and limited floor area.
This cottage suits a first-time buyer or someone seeking a character home in the town centre with immediate access to shops, schools and the North York Moors. It presents a straightforward refurbishment opportunity to personalise finishes and improve efficiency while retaining period charm.
