Tucked away on a private road in the peaceful hamlet of Ickornshaw, this charming cottage is perfect for those seeking a quieter lifestyle without feeling too remote.

The property opens into a front entrance porch, ideal for muddy boots and wet coats after exploring the beautiful local countryside. The bespoke pine kitchen is a real feature, complete with granite worksurfaces, an oil-fired AGA, integrated fridge, gas hob, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a large dining table and chairs.

The living room is packed with character, with exposed stone and timber details and French doors lead out to the garden.

Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and has windows to both the front and rear, while the second bedroom works well as a guest room or home office with a lovely outlook over the garden. Completing the first floor is the house bathroom, fitted with a deep roll-top bath — a great place to relax at the end of the day.

Externally, there are several seating areas to enjoy. Directly outside the French doors is a flagged patio, with steps leading up to a raised garden with mature flower beds, an area of artificial grass, and a large spruce cabin measuring approximately 5m x 3.5m with light and power, offering the perfect spot for summer evenings.

At the front is a gravelled parking area for two vehicles, with a pathway leading down the side of the property to the garden and the oil tank. The title of the property extends to the side, offering further potential for development, subject to the necessary planning consents.
