Description

This charming end-terraced cottage is situated in a desirable location overlooking St Oswald’s Church, right in the heart of a picturesque Yorkshire Dales village. While the property offers a wealth of character, it is in need of modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Entering the home, a glazed door leads into an entrance hall with access to both the sitting and lounge/dining rooms. The sitting room features original ceiling beams, an open fireplace with a stone surround, and sash windows that allow natural light to fill the space. The lounge/dining room also boasts ceiling beams and includes built-in cupboards, creating a warm and inviting area ideal for family gatherings or entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is functional yet basic, featuring tiled surrounds and plumbing for a washing machine, providing ample space for potential upgrades. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry that offers additional storage space. A rear passage connects to a small yard outside and includes another WC, adding convenience to daily living. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms that retain period features like ceiling beams and sash windows. The potential exists for converting part of the landing or attic space into a fourth bedroom or additional living area, depending on your vision. The bathroom includes necessary fixtures but could benefit from a refresh to meet modern standards. Outdoors, you'll find a small flagged rear yard with an outside store equipped with power—ideal for hobbies or as extra storage. The property features oil-fired central heating and boasts mains electricity, water, and drainage services. As a Grade II listed building dating back to the mid-to-late 18th century, this cottage carries historical significance while also providing scope for development. With its prime location in the Yorkshire Dales and proximity to local amenities and natural beauty, this property holds significant investment potential for those looking to create their ideal home or rental property. This property is offered with no onward chain—a practical advantage for buyers looking to move quickly into their next project.
