Rose, Cottage, Egton Road, Aislaby, Whitby, North Yorkshire

This charming stone cottage is understood to date back to the 17th Century, but has been comprehensively refurbished and modernised including new timber windows and an external door by the current owners during their ownership. It is now a beautifully presented property with real kerb appeal set-off by the well-maintained gardens.

The property lies in the heart of this popular village, opposite the church, and is handily placed for access to the moors, town and coast. There is even a handy bus stop for access to town.

The picturesque cottage has a couple of surprises, such as the conservatory in the sheltered pinfold yard to the side and the garage and spacious toolshed at the rear, but what you will probably remember most after a visit is how immaculate and well-considered all of the touches in this property are!
