NEW PRICE - A traditional stone built cottage, offering a picture postcard setting, overlooking the cricket green and situated in the highly sought after village of Thornton Watlass.
The main house and adjoining barn offer endless scope and opportunity, including the conversion of the barn to create further living space or an annexe, subject to necessary consents. The cottage itself is in need of full renovation, including electrics, plumbing, damp proofing and attention to the roof. This is however an increasingly rare opportunity for the new owners to renovate to personal taste and create their dream home, whilst the guide price reflects these required works.
The property is set just off the village green, whilst also enjoying open views to the rear. Thornton Watlass is ideally placed to offer ease of access to Masham, Bedale and Ripon, so amenities are readily available. The village itself offers a popular public house, park and village green incorporating the cricket pitch, all or which help to create a great community spirit.
On the ground floor there is an entrance lobby, living room with an open fire, kitchen, dining room, utility room, rear porch/boot room, downstairs bedroom/further reception room and the house bathroom, which is fitted with a three piece suite. To the first floor there is a landing and two large double bedrooms.
Externally there are lovely cottage gardens to the front of the house, mainly laid to lawn and well stocked, with a pathway leading to the front door. Vehicle access is available to the side and the plan was to add off street parking, utilising this access. Pedestrian access is available to the side of the house, leading to the barn and store room, plus the low maintenance paved garden to the rear, which also houses the oil central heating tank. Steps lead down to a further lawned garden area, which is leased from a neighbouring farmer on an annual basis for a minimal charge and a number of neighbouring properties do the same.
An ideal opportunity for buyers looking for a project and craving village living, this charming property will make a fantastic home for the right buyer(s).
This property is in council tax band D.
