Nestled on the southern edge of Main Street, this cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion, providing ample scope to reshape the space into a personal retreat or investment property (subject to necessary consents). With 1.25 acres of surrounding land, this elevated plot offers both tranquility and potential for significant enhancement.
The current layout consists of three ground-floor rooms, including a kitchen, pantry, and storage areas. The first floor accommodates two bedrooms along with a bathroom and an additional workspace. A thoughtful reconfiguration could optimize the existing footprint, allowing for a more functional living arrangement that meets modern demands.
Outdoor features include a brick workshop alongside multiple timber structures previously utilized as workshops and storage. Clearing these spaces presents an opportunity for creative landscaping or expanded utility within the generous garden area, which is primarily grassed and bordered by established hedges and varied tree species.
Located in Thornton Le Clay, this property benefits from its proximity to open countryside while remaining conveniently close to key transport links, including the A64 just 2 miles away. The village itself boasts a primary school and easy access to York, Malton, and the wider motorway network. York station is approximately 12 miles distant, providing direct connections to London in under two hours.
Set against the backdrop of the Howardian Hills National Landscape—formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—this location is not only picturesque but also strategically positioned near attractions such as Castle Howard. Additionally, retail parks north of York enhance local amenities and shopping options.
General Information: Services include mains water, electricity, connection to mains drainage, and solid fuel central heating. The property is freehold with vacant possession available upon completion. Viewing is strictly by appointment only.
