Description

This property presents a unique renovation opportunity set on a generous plot of 0.66 acres, conveniently located just off the A19, close to Thirsk and York. Dating back to the late 1800s, the residence offers approximately 1,585 sq ft of living space currently arranged with a one-bedroom ground floor annex. The layout features a central entrance hall leading to two formal reception rooms with characterful fireplaces and a lengthy kitchen that necessitates replacement. An additional 400 sq ft annex area includes its own sitting room with an open fireplace, bedroom, and shower room, making it ideal for versatile living arrangements or as a rental space post-renovation. Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms boasting rural views and an oversized bathroom that offers ample potential for modern upgrades. While the property is equipped with double glazing, it lacks a central heating system, adding to the scope for modernization. Externally, you'll appreciate the extensive grounds consisting of a front lawned garden and gated access to parking areas along with several outbuildings which are in need of significant repair. This property is sold 'as seen', including any disused structures present on-site. Mains electricity and water services are connected; however, please note that the septic tank requires attention. This refurbishment opportunity would suit buyers looking to create their dream home or capitalize on investment potential within this picturesque Yorkshire locale.
