Chain-free 2-bed character cottage in central Middleham with log burner and modern bathroom.
Grade II listed central cottage with abundant period features
The Stable Door is a charming Grade II listed cottage tucked into the heart of Middleham, offering traditional character with practical modern updates. Two large double bedrooms and a generous living room with a bay window and wood-burning stove create a comfortable, easy-to-run home for downsizers or buyers seeking village life. At around 1,123 sq ft, the interior feels spacious for a terraced period property.
The ground floor provides a cosy living room, a kitchen-diner with an electric-fired AGA, and a separate utility room. The family bathroom and electric heating are modern, reducing immediate maintenance needs. The cobbled frontage on common land gives convenient on-street parking and direct village access; a rear pedestrian path leads towards Middleham Castle and local amenities.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or upgrades. The plot is small and there’s no private off-street parking; parking is on-street on common land. The living room ceiling is described as lower than average and the house uses modern electric heating rather than gas, which may affect running costs compared with mains gas.
Overall this chain-free cottage suits someone who values period features and a central village position over extensive outside space or freedom to carry out major structural changes. It’s well placed for local shops, pubs, a primary school and the wider attractions of the Yorkshire Dales.
