Rose Cottage, High Street, Skelton, North Yorkshire

Nestled in the heart of the ever-popular village of Skelton-in-Cleveland, Rose Cottage is a truly charming 'chocolate box' cottage brimming with character, warmth and timeless appeal. Dating back many years, this delightful home effortlessly combines original period features with modern comforts including recent installation of an air source heat pump and six solar panels, along with newly fitted carpets, creating a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a quintessential village cottage.

Retaining a wealth of character throughout, the property boasts exposed beams to selected rooms, an impressive inglenook fireplace with a cast iron wood-burning stove and the added benefits of a recently installed air source heat pump heating system, solar panels, newly fitted carpets and the invaluable addition of a private rear courtyard garden.

The welcoming ground floor offers a spacious living room centred around the stunning inglenook fireplace, which flows naturally into the dining room, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. To the rear, the cottage-style kitchen overlooks and provides direct access to the enclosed courtyard garden. To the first floor are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each retaining much of the property's original charm, together with a spacious family bathroom and separate WC.

Outside, the delightful enclosed courtyard garden provides a wonderfully private suntrap, perfect for relaxing or enjoying alfresco dining. A substantial brick-built store offers excellent storage, while a timber gate provides access to the rear lane.

Parking is available on the High Street directly to the front on a first-come, first-served basis, together with additional communal parking at the rear shared with neighbouring properties.

Although requiring a programme of modernisation, Rose Cottage offers enormous potential to create a truly beautiful home and is offered for sale with no onward chain. Early viewing is highly recommended.
