Description

This detached two-bedroom cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable village setting. Nestled in the heart of Well, the property retains period character while presenting a blank canvas for modernization. The house features charming architectural details and sits on well-established grounds with a combination of gardens, an attached single garage, and two additional outbuildings. Upon entering, you’re welcomed by an entrance lobby leading to a reception hallway that provides access to key living areas. A functional kitchen awaits with wooden-effect units and under-counter space for appliances, ready for an update to suit contemporary tastes. To the front of the property, the sitting room is generously proportioned and features a bay window overlooking the garden, alongside exposed ceiling beams and a stone fireplace with an inset stove—elements that can be enhanced through thoughtful renovations. The ground floor also includes a bathroom equipped with essential fixtures, currently needing modern updates but offering good layout potential. Upstairs, two double bedrooms with garden views provide comfortable space for relaxation; one of which includes fitted wardrobes. Outside, the property boasts three distinct garden areas including tiered landscaping that could benefit from revitalization. A paved patio area allows easy maintenance while creating an inviting space for outdoor gatherings. Additionally, the single garage—home to the oil-fired central heating boiler—offers further utility along with integral storage options. Well is known for its community spirit and amenities including a local pub and historic church. Its proximity to market towns like Bedale, Masham, and Northallerton enhances its appeal by providing easy access to shops and services. Transportation links are excellent as well; both the A19 and A1(M) are within reach for commuting to larger cities such as Leeds or York. Nearby mainline railway stations connect residents conveniently to London Kings Cross and Edinburgh. This property not only invites you to envision your own updates but also holds considerable potential as an investment in a vibrant rural locale.
