End Cottage, Main Street, Bilbrough, YO23

Wishart Estate Agents are delighted to present this charming two-bedroom period cottage, set within the conservation area in the highly sought-after village of Bilbrough. Beautifully presented, the property combines characterful features with versatile living space, a pretty cottage garden, private courtyard and tandem garage.

The pretty front porch, adorned with climbing roses, provides a charming introduction to the home, with a stable door, front window and practical tiled flooring.

The lounge is a cosy and inviting space, with a bay window overlooking the front cottage garden. A fireplace with wood-burning stove creates a lovely focal point, complemented by exposed beams and wall lighting within the alcoves. New flooring has recently been fitted, while a staircase leads to the first floor.

The kitchen diner offers space for informal dining or an additional seating area, with views over the rear courtyard through one of the property's distinctive arched windows. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style wall and base units, marble-effect laminate worktops and metro tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an oven and grill, five-ring gas hob with extractor, fridge and washing machine, and slimline dishwasher.

A ground floor WC is conveniently positioned beneath the staircase and fitted with a hand wash basin, macerator toilet and extractor fan.

Beyond the kitchen, a second reception room, also benefiting from newly fitted flooring, provides useful additional living space and flexibility. A window and a door open to the side of the property, while double doors lead through to the conservatory. Overlooking the rear courtyard, the conservatory has a glazed roof and double doors opening directly outside.

The landing provides access to both bedrooms and the house bathroom, together with a large loft hatch leading to a fully boarded loft with lighting.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the front, enjoying views across the cottage garden and picturesque village street. Two large fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage, while newly fitted flooring provides a fresh finish to the room.

The house bathroom combines period character with modern comforts, featuring a low-level WC, hand wash basin, separate shower cubicle and roll-top claw foot bath with shower attachment. Tiled walls and flooring complement the scheme, while an attractive arched window sits to the rear.

The second bedroom is a smaller double, positioned to the rear with a window to the side elevation. A cupboard provides useful eaves storage and also houses the Ideal gas-fired boiler.

Externally, the property enjoys a pretty cottage garden to the front, while to the rear is a low-maintenance courtyard laid with Indian stone paving. An old cobbled wall adds further character, with climbing greenery along the boundary leading towards the garage and rear access gate. An external tap and power point are also provided.

Accessed from Piggy Lane, the tandem garage is fitted with power and lighting and was re-roofed a few years ago. It provides useful space for parking, storage or a workshop, with vehicular access from the lane and pedestrian access from the rear courtyard.

Positioned within the conservation area of this highly desirable village, the property is well placed for local amenities and transport links, while offering convenient access to the surrounding road network. Its attractive Main Street setting and wealth of period character make this a particularly appealing village home.
