A rare opportunity to acquire a four bedroom cottage with outbuildings nestled away in the charming village of Oldstead.

Description

The Cottage is a wonderfully characterful home set in the peaceful village of Oldstead, offering a charming blend of period detail, generous room proportions and superb flexibility.

Arranged over two floors with an additional loft bedroom, the property enjoys open countryside views and benefits from both a detached garage/workshop and a separate utility/store outbuilding, adding excellent practicality.

The ground floor begins with a wonderful sitting room, centred around a beautiful cast iron stove that creates a real focal point. Leading through, the kitchen is fitted with modern cabinetry and tiled splashbacks. The family/dining room is a particularly attractive space, filled with natural light and enjoying direct access to the garden via French doors. A spiral staircase within this room leads to bedroom four, which enjoys fabulous views down the village. Bedroom three is also located on the ground floor and is a generous double, flooded with natural light.

To the first floor are two further double bedrooms, both served by a good sized family bathroom.

Externally, the garden is a standout feature, with French doors opening onto a patio and lawned area that enjoy open, rural views across the surrounding fields. The setting is peaceful and private, offering a wonderful connection between the home and its landscape. In addition, the property benefits from a detached garage/workshop with double door access, as well as a separate utility/store outbuilding, providing excellent storage and practical working space.

Location

Oldstead is a pretty village situated on the southern slopes of the North Yorkshire Moors, just below the iconic White Horse and served by one of the finest gastro pubs in the region, the Michelin star awarded Black Swan. The village is blessed with miles of scenic walks and picturesque surroundings but remains well connected to neighbouring villages such as Kilburn (about two miles), Coxwold (about three miles) and Ampleforth (about four miles), all of which have a mix of facilities and local services.

The market towns of Easingwold and Thirsk are a short drive away (about eight miles and about nine miles), the latter having a train link to London Kings Cross but both having a fantastic selection of artisan shops and general shopping facilities.
