Buyers seeking a cottage in the country with a garden to enjoy the good life and rural views may well not find a home to surpass this one, which has been featured in Yorkshire Life and Move or Improve magazines.  This period semi-detached property has been very sympathetically modernised and stands behind a pretty front garden and wide grass verge on the village main street - to the rear open fields stretch to the the west. The four bedroomed accommodation is well appointed and extensions have provided a large open plan dining kitchen with vaulted ceiling and a second, ground floor shower room.  There is character in abundance, with sliding sash windows, oak doors and flooring and a woodburner which works alongside the main boiler and solar panel making heating the home and hot water both economical and versatile.

A delightful plot of about a fifth of an acre is a gardener's dream, beautifully stocked to include fruit & veg plots and even a chicken run, whilst a large summerhouse is a great place to relax an soak in the garden and rural views beyond.
