This detached period cottage, located in the charming village of Thornton Le Clay, offers a fantastic opportunity for cosmetic updating and potential extension, subject to the necessary permissions.
Thornton Le Clay is a highly desirable village, known for its strong community feel and excellent access to both York city centre and beautiful countryside walks. The village is home to Foston C of E Primary School, with nearby amenities and pubs available in the neighbouring villages of Flaxton, Sheriff Hutton and Strensall.
The property, originally a detached cottage, has been extended and now features a welcoming kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen offers a range of units and integrated appliances but would benefit from modernisation. A beautifully renovated ground-floor family bathroom has been updated to include a walk-in shower. The front lounge is a generous space, retaining charming original features such as exposed beams. The house also benefits from period-appropriate double glazing. The lounge opens into a rear conservatory, adding extra living space. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, one double and one single.
A porch off the kitchen leads to a utility area and into a large double garage with an additional first floor, offering potential for conversion into a spacious dining kitchen or additional bedrooms, subject to necessary approvals.
Externally, the property is surrounded by parking areas, patios, and small gardens. Additionally, the previous owner rented a sizable garden/ allotment located roadside, which may be available for rent from the local parish council, providing extra outdoor space.
This cottage presents an excellent opportunity to create a personalized home in a wonderful village setting.
