East Lane, Shipton By Beningbrough

An exceptional Victorian cottage on the rural fringes of Shipton-by-Beningbrough, brimming with charm and character. Originally built in 1860, this enchanting home has been thoughtfully renovated and beautifully restyled, blending period elegance with contemporary comfort to create a wonderful country retreat, perfectly positioned less than 4 miles north of Clifton Moor.

A welcoming reception hall sets the tone for this truly special period home with its staircase, coat cupboard and cleverly concealed pull-out boot and shoe storage. A traditional latch door opens into a wonderfully cosy, dual-aspect sitting room where a feature fireplace with wood burning stove creates an inviting focal point complemented by plantation style shutters.

At the heart of the home lies the beautifully remodelled dining kitchen, redesigned in 2024 to create a stylish and sociable space perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The high specification kitchen features sleek cabinetry, elegant quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including an induction hob with contemporary extractor, fridge, freezer and eye-level oven and grill. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, effortlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living while a charming recessed alcove houses floor-to-ceiling shelved larder cupboards, providing generous and practical storage.

Completing the ground floor and conveniently positioned off the dining room is a downstairs wc and a beautifully appointed utility room, offering additional storage, further quartz worktop space, inset sink unit and a boiling water tap.

The first floor is equally impressive with fabulous 10’2” (3.10m) high ceilings enhancing the sense of space and grandeur. Traditional latch doors lead to 3 bedrooms, including a principal bedroom enjoying glimpses of the surrounding countryside to the rear, and a second bedroom with lovely rural views and an expansive range of fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with additional high level storage. A further bedroom offers flexibility for guests, family or an alternative use.

The beautifully appointed house bathroom offers a luxurious sanctuary in which to unwind, featuring an elegant freestanding contemporary bathtub, stylish washstand with integrated storage, heated towel rail and a separate walk-in shower with dual shower heads creating a refined and indulgent space.

Further features include gas fired central heating, double glazing and period style radiators throughout almost all of the home, thoughtfully complementing the original charm and character.

Outside, a block paved driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles, while double timber gates lead through to a further paved area within the rear garden, offering additional parking for a third vehicle.

The delightful rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to feature a lawn, paved pathways, inviting seating areas and a practical covered rear porch. A charming rustic red-brick outbuilding adds further appeal having been converted to provide a useful garden store alongside a fabulous studio, equally suited to use as a dedicated home office, creative space or private gym.
