Enjoying a superb position looking down across the valley towards Yearsley Woods and the Howardian Hills, this detached cottage is surrounded by its lovely gardens with nothing standing in the way of its far-reaching view. Ampleforth itself is a well populated Ryedale village beautifully located on the southern slope of the Hambleton Hills at the edge of the North York Moors. Highly regarded, it is known for its thriving community and multiple village facilities that include a doctors surgery and village store.
Milbert Haven sits in an outstanding, elevated position with a remarkable outlook south across the valley to Yearsley Woods. It presents significant scope for development subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The modest ground floor accommodation of the cottage totals some 950 sq ft with windows on the north, south and west aspects and an open fire in the sitting room. The large double garage is attached to the bungalow via the outdoor stores and, together with its large plot of just over one quarter of an acre, offers significant redevelopment potential.
Outside - A private, gravelled drive from the country lane provides ample parking for multiple vehicles in front of the bungalow. Here the mature south facing gardens largely lie to the front and are predominantly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees and shrubs. The whole is bound by fencing and well-established hedging. There is a lovely outlook across the valley with sweeping views from the garden across pastures and woodland to the Howardian Hills.
This eastern section of Back lane is a shared drive with shared maintenance divided between four houses and Ampleforth Estate.
Environs - Ampleforth village lies at the foot of the North York Moors National Park, and has a village shop, two pubs, churches and surgery. It is home to the renowned co-ed public school which lies about a mile to the east. Close by is Helmsley, a successful and thriving market town; Easingwold and Thirsk (East Coast Mainline/Grand Central/Transpennine rail services) are roughly equidistant. York lies just over half an hours drive to the south.
