Springfield, Ings Lane, Snape, Bedale

Believed to date back to the 1600s, Springfield is a truly charming Grade II Listed detached cottage, originally constructed as a traditional cruck house and sympathetically renovated over recent years to create a beautifully appointed cottage.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall with tiled flooring and built-in storage, leading through to the spacious sitting room, which is full of character with exposed beams, original cruck timbers and a multi-fuel stove set on a stone hearth, creating a warm and inviting living space. 

Beyond lies a versatile reception room, currently used as a playroom but equally suited as a snug or home office.

To the rear is a recently constructed oak framed garden room, completed in 2023 by local craftsmen, providing a spectacular living and dining space. Featuring exposed oak framing, French doors and large windows overlooking the gardens, it is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with cream shaker style units complemented by oak effect work surfaces. Integrated AEG appliances include an induction hob, double oven and grill, together with an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, whilst a bespoke built-in seating area provides a practical dining space and with below storage.

The accommodation is completed by two generous double bedrooms, both retaining character features including exposed beams, deep window sills and plantation shutters. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, whilst the second bedroom includes useful built-in storage.

The family shower room has been beautifully modernised with a large shower, vanity wash basin, WC and attractive patterned tiled flooring, creating a stylish yet practical space in keeping with the character of the cottage. A separate cloakroom/WC has also been tastefully modernised off the garden room with exposed original stonework and patterned tiled flooring.

Externally, the property enjoys a generous stone flagged patio, providing the perfect place to sit and enjoy the gardens or entertain family and friends. The gardens have been beautifully maintained over many years and feature sweeping lawns, colorful flower beds, mature trees, a wildlife pond and a number of seating areas, creating a lovely private setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. 

To the rear of the garden there is also a productive polytunnel and chicken enclosure, ideal for those looking to embrace country living.

There is an excellent range of outbuildings, including a recently completed detached stone-built double garage and workshop, finished to a high standard with power and lighting connected.

Subject to the necessary planning consents, these buildings could also offer potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation or other uses.

Further outbuildings include a boiler room, log store, useful garden stores, a former brick-built piggery and a greenhouse (available by separate negotiation), providing excellent storage and workshop space. The property also benefits from off-road parking for up to three vehicles.

Springfield is a rare opportunity to purchase a charming period cottage, combining character, immaculately presented accommodation and outstanding gardens extending to approximately 0.60 acres.
