4 bedroom cottage

A superbly appointed detached family home a mile or so out of Malton, built in 1919 offering generous and versatile accommodation including four bedrooms, impressive reception rooms and large living/dining kitchen together with excellent annexed space. Enjoying a slightly elevated position the house faces onto walled south facing gardens whilst the attractive and private walled courtyard sits in the heart of the property with doors from the kitchen, sitting room and annexe. Ideally suited for multi generation living and perfectly set up for home based working.

There are four generous bedrooms, en-suite to bedroom one and a family bathroom. The current owners have created a superbly appointed home further improved with an excellent refitted kitchen, replacement oil boilers and tank, new sitting room stove, sympathetic replacement of windows to two elevations whilst in the last year or so has a solar and battery system been installed in order to significantly reduce running costs.

Our floor plan shows the entire layout which briefly includes a range of four generous and separate rooms with a further room at the end of the block accessed from within the courtyard. The first of the rooms at the west side leads into a WC and shower. This entire space lends itself to a range of possibilities, including what could be very comfortable annexed/multi generation space, whist for those looking for home based working/studio space we believe it would work extremely well.

Mature and extremely well established with lawn, established shrubs and borders, gravelled driveway from the substantial double gated entrance, walled boundaries and lovely flagged terrace/patio space up against the immediate front elevation.
