This distinctive detached thatched cottage, steeped in history, offers a unique opportunity for investors and renovators alike. Situated in the picturesque village just two miles from the market town of Helmsley, this property spans 1762 sq ft and includes extensive outbuildings and a generous garden on a 0.3-acre plot. The cottage retains much of its original charm from the seventeenth century, featuring limestone construction within a cruck frame and classic Yorkshire sliding sash windows. While it has been partially modernized to accommodate contemporary living standards, there remains significant potential for further enhancements.
Inside, you'll find a layout that combines traditional elements with practical living spaces. The entrance leads to a staircase hall, connecting to a kitchen with both modern fittings and period features, including an original cast iron range. Two reception rooms provide inviting spaces with unique fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, complemented by a sunlit garden room that opens onto an enclosed terrace.
The first floor features three bedrooms with characterful sloped ceilings and bespoke built-in storage; one doubles as a dressing room with potential guest accommodations. The exterior is equally appealing, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles along with several outbuildings—including a derelict structure ripe for redevelopment—providing additional space for creative renovations or rental income.
The expansive rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, featuring established trees and a summer house in need of renovation—an ideal project for landscape enthusiasts or those seeking outdoor leisure activities.
Located near essential village amenities and stunning North York Moors scenery, this property not only provides immediate living comfort but also outstanding investment potential through strategic updates and renovations.
