Description

Darling Cottage is a charming two-bedroom home located within the exclusive Chestnut Farm development in the highly desirable village of Acaster Malbis. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the cottage offers bright and well-proportioned rooms, a sociable open-plan feel, and a welcoming sense of character throughout. With its idyllic location just south of York, this is an ideal property for first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with excellent city access. Offered to market with no onward chain.

What makes this home truly special is its setting. Tucked away within the charming Chestnut Farm development, this brick-built two-bedroom cottage forms part of a unique conversion of the former farmstead, once used as holiday cottages. Nestled among a traditional farmhouse and luxury modern lodges, it offers characterful yet practical accommodation perfectly suited to couples, families, or downsizers alike.

Unlike the neighbouring over-45s luxury lodges, this property is entirely freehold with no age restrictions providing the opportunity for buyers of all ages to enjoy a countryside lifestyle in a secure and welcoming environment.

A welcoming entrance hall offers access to the staircase and ground-floor living spaces.

The lounge is positioned at the heart of the home. With space for both comfortable seating and additional furnishings, this room provides a cosy yet versatile setting for everyday living. Dual aspect doors to the front of the lounge and the rear of the dining area make this a naturally light space.

Open to the lounge and adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area creates a seamless flow for entertaining or everyday life. A rear door offers easy access outside.

Located at the front of the cottage, the well-designed kitchen provides ample worktop and cupboard storage. Its layout allows for efficient cooking space while maintaining connection with the main living areas.

A staircase leads to the first-floor landing and provides access to both bedrooms and the house bathroom.

Bedroom 1 is a spacious double bedroom occupying the full width of the rear of the cottage. It offers flexibility for wardrobes and other furnishings.

Bedroom 2 is a comfortable second bedroom positioned to the front of the house.

The well-appointed bathroom features a bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin.

Externally, the property offers an enclosed garden, two parking spots, one with EVC point, and access to a bin store.
