Description

This period stone-built home presents a unique investment opportunity in the picturesque village of Wass, set against the backdrop of the North York Moors National Park. The property features expansive gardens alongside a tranquil beck, enhancing its charm while offering potential for enhancement and modernization. Spanning over 1,300 square feet, this three-bedroom cottage is thoughtfully arranged over two levels. The kitchen diner offers an excellent canvas for personalisation and improvements, providing a central hub for family gatherings. Adjacent is a spacious sitting room with a traditional cast iron open fire, perfect for cozy evenings, while French doors lead to the lush south-facing garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom and second bedroom are notably bright thanks to dual-aspect windows that showcase pleasant views of the gardens. There’s also scope to convert an adjacent cupboard into an en suite shower room, subject to consent. The third well-sized bedroom can serve multiple purposes as needed. The outside space includes generous grounds adorned with mature trees and flowering plants that create a sense of privacy and tranquility. A driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles, complemented by a substantial garage which could be transformed into a home office or studio area with proper planning permissions. Additionally, there are useful outbuildings offering further storage solutions. With its combination of character features and potential for renovation, this property is ideal for those looking to make their mark in a desirable rural setting close to local amenities and outdoor activities.
