Pickering, North Yorkshire

Albert Cottage is an attractive, double fronted stone built detached dwelling, delightfully situated in the charming market town of Pickering on the edge of the North Yorks Moors.


Description
A detached stone built property, dating back to the 1850’s, offers a unique blend of historic charm and development potential. Forming a horseshoe shape, the two storey main dwelling is complemented by traditional single stone outbuildings at the rear, including a chapel, workshop and a double garage.

The ground floor features an entrance hallway leading to two generously sized living rooms, which have the potential to be subdivided to create additional separate spaces. The kitchen, along with pantry space, is located in the rear single storey extension.

Upstairs a spacious landing area connects to three double bedrooms, all with built-in storage and a good sized bathroom that includes a bath, separate shower and WC. The interior is unfurnished and requires redecorating but offers a blank canvas for personalisation.

The rear buildings are accessible separately from the main building and include a chapel of rest, a workshop and a large garage space. These areas may be suitable for development, either to expand the existing dwelling or to create a separate unit, subject to any necessary consents.

A set of double gates open on to a private driveway leading to ample parking space and direct access to the garage. The west side of the property features a lawned area, with a larger grassed area situated behind the garages, with an additional garden area at the front. The property is predominantly enclosed by stone walls.

This property is ideal for those looking to create their dream home in a picturesque setting.
