This charming semi-detached stone cottage, originally part of an estate and dating back to around 1840 with a later single-storey extension added in the early 1900s, offers a unique blend of period character and modern amenities. Nestled in a mature setting while remaining conveniently close to Malton, this property sits on approximately 0.25 acres, presenting promising renovation and expansion possibilities.
The current owners have made significant improvements since 2013, enhancing the property’s appeal and energy efficiency. The extensive renovation included installation of new windows and external doors, an updated heating system, as well as a complete overhaul of the kitchen and bathroom. Inside, there are two well-proportioned reception rooms featuring oak flooring and multifuel stoves that add warmth and style. The fitted kitchen is functional and bright, equipped with modern appliances.
Upstairs are three bedrooms that retain their original charm with period fireplaces and built-in storage. The main bedroom boasts lovely views over the garden and countryside beyond, complemented by a spacious loft area accessible via drop-down stairs—ideal for additional storage or potential conversion (subject to regulations).
The outdoor space is equally inviting; the property benefits from landscaped gardens primarily laid to lawn which overlook adjacent pastures often occupied by horses from a nearby stud. There’s ample parking available along the driveway leading up to the house along with various outbuildings that enhance its versatility. A lodge-style building has been thoughtfully created for multiple uses—it currently houses a hydrotherapy pool but could easily be transformed into an office or studio space.
The location itself is another significant advantage; nestled within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just 3 miles from Malton—a town known as Yorkshire's food capital with excellent transport links including direct rail services to York. This property not only offers comfortable living but also presents an opportunity for future investment through further renovations or extensions that could tap into its full potential.
