Nestled in the vibrant village of Middleton, this spacious three-bedroom cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Formerly known as Post Office Cottage, the property features not only a comfortable residential space but also an adjoining commercial area that currently houses a functioning Post Office and Tea Parlour. This mixed-use setup provides flexibility, as the commercial section could potentially be converted into additional living space or separate accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.
The cottage itself is gas centrally heated and offers a classic layout with a welcoming hall, a generous sitting room, and a kitchen/diner perfect for casual family meals. On the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms along with a house bathroom. While the interiors are functional, they would benefit from some updating, allowing you to infuse your own style and preferences into the space.
The commercial premises include a Post Office kiosk area, tea rooms, a kitchen, and restroom facilities, providing various avenues for business operations or alternative uses. The potential for income generation here is significant; whether you choose to maintain it as a retail operation or convert it entirely to residential use.
Outside, the property is complemented by a front garden featuring lush lawned areas and well-stocked flower beds, along with shared pathways leading to both sections of the property. At the rear is an enclosed yard which includes right-of-way access over neighboring land.
With freehold vacant possession available upon completion and essential services already connected—including mains water, drainage, electricity, and gas—this property combines immediate livability with considerable scope for modernization. Its location in Middleton offers both community charm and accessibility to local amenities.
For investors or those seeking a renovation project in an appealing village setting with promising rental or resale potential, this property warrants careful consideration. Viewing is available strictly by appointment through our agency in Kirkbymoorside.
