A superb three bedroom stone built cottage situated in the North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley
Description
Once part of the Duncombe Park Estate, this charming cottage dates back to circa 1880. The property sits on a sizeable plot, behind a pretty front garden and generous driveway. Currently used as a successful holiday let, the property would work equally well for someone looking for a private residence that is well-placed for access to Helmsley's excellent amenities.
This three bedroom cottage is arranged over two floors, with living accommodation extending to just over 1,300 square feet. The well-proportioned layout includes a handmade Treske kitchen with granite worktops, built-in fridge/ freezer, dishwasher, gas Rayburn cooker and additional gas hob and a washing machine and dryer. Just off from the kitchen is the guest accommodation which comprises a downstairs shower room, living/ study area with fitted cupboards and wardrobe and stairs leading to the bedroom.
Continuing through the ground floor is a sizeable sitting room with beautiful exposed wooden beams and an open fireplace.
A further door leads to the recently finished conservatory which enjoys particularly nice views over the garden.
Ascending the main staircase to the first floor, a spacious landing leads to two further double bedrooms and the house bathroom. Of particular note is the principal bedroom which benefits from a full wall of fitted wardrobes.
Externally the property offers parking for up to three cars on a gravelled driveway. To the rear of the property is a particularly private garden, flanked by mature trees and hedges, well-stocked borders and a pond.
There is a sizeable timber outbuilding with electricity, providing additional storage.
Location
Helmsley is a fabulous town with a weekly market and an excellent selection of independent, local shops including clothes stores, a doctor’s surgery, delicatessens, cafes, restaurants, hotels, a spa and a local brewery.
In addition there is an arts centre showing films and plays, as well as hosting yoga, exhibitions and concerts. Further attractions are the open air swimming pool, Helmsley Walled Garden, International Centre for Birds of Prey, Helmsley Castle and Duncombe Park.
Further afield are the Michelin starred restaurants The Star at Harome (2.4 miles) and The Black Swan, Oldstead (8 miles).
The town lies on the fringes of the North York Moors National Park and Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding National Beauty, and boasts considerable architectural character. The A170 from Helmsley links to Scarborough and the Yorkshire Coast.
York is about 24 miles to the south and the A1(M) is about 22 miles to the west. Direct trains to London run regularly from Thirsk (14 miles) and York, some making the journey in under two hours.
Helmsley has a primary school, and Ryedale secondary school is just under three miles to the east of the town. Ampleforth College is about four miles away.
