Description
A double-fronted stone period house in central Masham, arranged over three floors and offering five bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms. The accommodation includes a through lounge, snug, ground-floor WC and a large kitchen and dining area opening to a conservatory. A cellar provides additional storage, while the property also has a double garage, parking for two cars and front and rear gardens.
The house is described as requiring renovation and modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the existing accommodation to their needs. The first floor has a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a separate shower room. Two additional rooms occupy the second floor.
Located close to Masham’s market square, shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants, the property is offered with no onward chain. Ripon and access to the A1(M) are also noted in the listing.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This five-bedroom, double-fronted stone house has strong character and a useful spread of accommodation, including three reception rooms, a conservatory, cellar, double garage and parking. The enclosed rear garden also appears well maintained. Inside, the house is usable but ready for selective updating: the kitchen and shower-room finishes are dated, and worn carpet offers a straightforward improvement. The visible stone exterior and slate roof appear generally intact, making this a promising canvas for a light cosmetic refresh in the heart of Masham.
At £450,000, the value comparison remains incomplete because the floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The score is therefore a weak overall opportunity for now, rather than a verdict that the asking price is too high; the location and fundamentals provide positives, but the available information does not establish the value case.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and shower-room finishes to give the interior a more contemporary feel.
- Replace the visibly worn carpet and update other finishes selectively while the house remains broadly usable.
- Make the most of the period stone exterior, conservatory, cellar, double garage and enclosed garden as part of a tailored home-improvement project.
