Church View, Bolton Percy, YO23

Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after and historic village of Bolton Percy, this beautifully presented Victorian end-of-terrace cottage offers the perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary living. Situated within a conservation area and boasting a generous south-west facing landscaped garden, this delightful home is ideal for buyers seeking a peaceful, community-focused lifestyle with easy access to York, Tadcaster, and major transport links.

From the moment you enter, this home exudes warmth and character. The spacious entrance hall – often overlooked in cottages – provides a practical yet stylish space to welcome guests and store coats and shoes.

The living room is bright and inviting, centred around a multi-fuel stove set within a character fireplace, with views across the village street. Timber flooring and flexible layout options add to the sense of homeliness.

To the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining space is a standout feature – unusually large for a cottage of this type. Fitted with modern base and wall units, ample solid worktop space, and integrated appliances including an electric Rangemaster oven with modern extractor over, fridge freezer, washer dryer and dishwasher, this space is ideal for hosting, family meals, or simply enjoying the beautiful garden views through dual-aspect windows. A clever built-in storage cupboard is placed alongside a cosy pet nook, showcasing the thoughtful use of space throughout the home.

The first floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light.

The principal bedroom features solid timber flooring, built-in wardrobes, a charming original fireplace, and sweeping views along the village street past the church.

Bedroom two, also a comfortable double, overlooks the rear garden and village greenery.

Bedroom three makes for a perfect child’s bedroom, office, or guest room.

The modern family bathroom includes both a corner bath and a separate shower cubicle, and a light tunnel to the ceiling ensures the flow of natural light.

The loft is fully boarded, providing superb additional storage and housing a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit – ideal for period properties, helping to reduce condensation and maintain healthy air quality.

The south-west facing garden is a real highlight. Beautifully landscaped with a raised patio, lawned area, vegetable patches and mature borders, it is the perfect space for entertaining, relaxing, or gardening. The oil tank which fuels the oil fired central heating boiler, is cleverly concealed to the side of the garden. The garden is enclosed by traditional walling, with a rear access gate leading to The Rampart and adjoining land belonging to The Rose and Crown, currently closed. Given its height, we are informed the property has never flooded in it’s history, however, the lower sections of the garden are designed in such a way to allow excess water to flow freely in and out in times of flood.

Despite being in a high-risk flood classification on GOV.UK, this information tells you the flood risk of the land around a building, not the building itself. There’s no history of water entering the property itself.
