Charming Period Cottage - Nestled in the heart of the hugely sought after village of Alne, Fairview is a charming period cottage brimming with character, opportunity and endless potential. Occupying a generous plot backing onto Back Lane, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter — a wonderful opportunity for buyers to create their dream home and make memories for years to come.

Full of warmth and possibility, Fairview has been cherished over the years, testament not only to the home itself but also to the fabulous village setting. Whilst now requiring modernisation, the property offers exciting scope to transform and extend, with a collection of attached outbuildings perfectly positioned for redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents. Whether you dream of a stunning open plan living dining kitchen, garden room or additional accommodation, the possibilities here are incredibly exciting.

Step Inside - Step inside and there is an immediate sense of home. The accommodation briefly comprises a useful boot room and cloakroom leading through to a spacious breakfast kitchen with plenty of room for a family dining table — the perfect spot for morning coffee and relaxed suppers.

To the front of the property are two reception rooms, both enjoying lovely outlooks over the garden. The sitting room centres around a fireplace, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere, whilst the second reception room offers flexibility for formal dining, a snug or home office.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms together with a house bathroom.

Attached to the property are four outbuildings, offering fantastic potential for renovation and reimagining, subject to planning consent. Rarely does an opportunity arise with such scope to create something truly special.

Gardens And Outbuildings - Outside, Fairview enjoys a delightful plot with the cottage sitting beautifully within its grounds. Mature hedging to the front creates a wonderful sense of privacy, whilst a wrought iron gate opens onto a pathway leading to the front door. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, adding to the cottage’s charming approach.

The rear garden stretches to approximately 178ft and is quite simply a gardener’s paradise or an adventure playground for little ones. Predominantly lawned with well stocked borders filled with flowering plants, perennials, mature trees and shrubs, the garden offers endless potential to create a true outdoor haven. Imagine summer evenings spent entertaining with zoned seating areas, a summerhouse, greenhouse or even a hot tub tucked away amongst the greenery. There is also useful access from Back Lane.

A rare and exciting opportunity to breathe new life into a charming period cottage in one of North Yorkshire’s most desirable villages. What a fabulous place to call home.
