Description

Howroyd Cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation within a picturesque Yorkshire village, boasting two bedrooms and a semi-detached layout. Set on approximately 1.2 acres, this property features not only stunning views of the surrounding countryside but also includes a detached annex, stable block, paddock, and workshop. The main house showcases characterful period details such as exposed timber beams and rustic brickwork alongside modern comforts. The farmhouse-style kitchen is spacious and could benefit from updating to enhance its functionality while maintaining its charm. The adjoining dining room provides an excellent environment for entertaining, needing some modernization to meet contemporary expectations. The living room radiates warmth with its wood-burning stove, yet potential exists for layout reconfiguration to optimize space utilization. Upstairs, the master bedroom captures beautiful views but may require decorative updates and minor modifications to maximize space efficiency. While the second bedroom is versatile in use, it too could be refreshed with modern styling. The detached annex presents significant investment potential; currently functional for various uses like a home office or studio, it has ample scope for transformation into additional living space or rental accommodation, pending planning approval. The stable block and paddock are ideal for equestrian enthusiasts or those interested in small-scale farming, while the workshop promises a haven for DIY projects but would benefit from better organization and maintenance. Outside, the expansive garden area offers idyllic rural scenery that could become an impressive landscaped oasis through thoughtful design improvements. This property requires vision to unlock its full potential while preserving its unique characteristics.
