Millgate Cottage is a charming attached period home dating back to the mid-18th century, built in traditional mellow natural stone beneath a stone-tiled roof.The cottage offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, blending historic character with comfortable living spaces.
Externally, the property enjoys extensive tiered gardens and grounds, which take full advantage of the wonderful outlook across the neighbouring cricket field, recreation grounds, and open countryside beyond.Ideally positioned just off the market square, Millgate Cottage sits in the heart of the picturesque market town of Masham, with its thriving community, excellent amenities and stunning scenery.
Included in the sale is an additional area of land, measuring approximately 0.2 acres, with its own separate access - providing further potential and versatility.
The sitting room is a warm and characterful space that blends period charm with a relaxed, contemporary feel. A striking exposed timber beam runs across the ceiling, adding to the room’s historic appeal. Soft neutral décor and generous natural light create a bright and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by the front window and glazed entrance door.At the heart of the room is a cosy wood-burning stove set beneath an attractive stone lintel, providing a strong focal point. Built-in alcove shelving on either side offers practical storage and display space.
The study offers a peaceful and versatile area ideal for home working or hobbies. A window to the kitchen allows borrowed light into the room.The inner hall is a characterful space featuring a built-in bookcase set beneath an exposed timber lintel. Its softly curved walls and neutral décor highlight the cottage’s period charm, while light from the adjoining kitchen brightens the passage and enhances the sense of flow through the ground floor.The cloakroom adjacent to the study is neatly fitted with a pedestal washbasin and WC, complemented by patterned floor tiles and built-in shelving that provides useful storage. Its clean, neutral finish creates a practical and well-presented ground-floor facility.
The breakfast kitchen is a bright and welcoming space, thoughtfully designed to make the most of its outlook and natural light.Fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry in a soft, muted tone and complemented by warm wooden work surfaces, the room combines traditional charm with modern practicality. A mosaic-tiled splashback adds colour and texture, while a range-style cooker and stainless-steel extractor create a smart focal point.Overhead skylights, together with a wide window above the sink, flood the room with daylight and provide pleasant views of the terrace, gardens and views beyond.The layout offers excellent storage and workspace, with integrated cupboards and a well-planned U-shaped configuration.At one end of the room, there is space for a breakfast table, making this an ideal area for everyday dining.A stable door leads out to the garden, enhancing the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and offering convenient access. Stone-flagged flooring runs throughout, adding character and durability to this well-presented kitchen.

01423 578494Why Buchanan Mitchell? Buchanan Mitchell bring something new to the residential sales market. We believe there is a need for a more tailored, bespoke approach to selling houses. Buchanan Mitchell differ from other agents in that we have chosen to manage a smaller portfolio of properties. This enables us to customise our service to meet your needs and invest the time required to ensure that we exceed your expectations. We are available to you whenever you need us. Our client testimonials demonstrate our commitment to providing the highest levels of service. Deborah Mitchell and Georgina Buchanan have over 30 years combined experience in the residential property market. In recent years we have seen significant changes in the dynamics of the housing market and see a real opportunity for a bespoke client focused agency that blends the latest technology with unrivalled levels of client service. “The time was right to set up an estate agency with a difference, rather than attempt to bring the more established agencies kicking and screaming into the 21st century” says Georgina Buchanan. Deborah Mitchell adds “We saw that in a challenging market traditional agencies continue to run large overheads supporting an out of date business model, paying premium rents for prime locations on the High Street and resulting in high operating costs that are unsustainable and can only be maintained through charging inequitable fee structures. We want our clients to pay for our skills and expertise in selling rather than an ability to decorate an expensive showroom. ” We don’t just want to be different; the market was demanding it, and we knew we could deliver. Bringing the finest properties to market and recognising the time pressures of our clients, we utilise state of the art technology, together with an energetic, dedicated and proactive approach. We work tirelessly throughout the buying and selling process and beyond to make deals happen for our clients in these challenging markets.
