Rose Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom detached home dating to 1900, set in the desirable village of Burn just outside Selby. It combines original character—exposed wood beams, vaulted dining room and wood floors—with practical updates such as triple glazing and a gas central heating system. The house offers generous living: three reception rooms, a large country kitchen with island, a utility and two bathrooms (one on each floor).
The corner plot provides a large, low-maintenance garden, patio and ample off-street parking. Room sizes are generous throughout, including a ground-floor bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and three further double bedrooms upstairs. Broadband speeds are fast and the village setting gives easy access to local amenities, countryside walks and good nearby schools.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick property built before 1900 that appears to have no cavity insulation in the walls; further insulation or energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. Council Tax sits at Band E, and as with many older cottages some ongoing maintenance and sensitive updating should be expected. Overall, this is a rare chance to buy a large, characterful family home in a peaceful, prospering countryside community.
