3 bedroom detached houseMain Street, East Cottingwith, York, YO42 4TN

A charming and spacious detached cottage situated in a pretty conservation village. Contrary to its name the property offers well-proportioned accommodation extending to around 1300 ft.² and is full of charm and character with many period features including an impressive Inglenook fireplace and original beams throughout. The cottage dates back to the 1770s with an interesting history and has been sympathetically updated and improved to an exacting standard. The ground floor is comprised of an entrance porch, office, cloakroom, living room and open plan kitchen and dining room, opening on to the walled garden. A utility room with stable door into the garden and side access provides ample storage, a Belfast sink and space for appliances. To the first floor are three double bedrooms with original floorboards and views over the garden and to the wetland nature reserve beyond. A recently fitted four-piece house bathroom, including roll top bath and heated shower rail completes the upstairs of the property. To the front of this chocolate box cottage is an attractive garden with picket fence and a storage shed. To the rear is a superb low maintenance garden, paved with reclaimed York stone flags. The mature, cottage-style garden houses a series of raised beds and mature borders, with a large timber shed providing ample storage. The garden offers an excellent degree of privacy. East Cottingwith is a friendly rural village lying around 14 miles to the south-east of York and 9 miles from Pocklington. It is also well placed for the motorway networks, with the M62 being only 11 miles away. Lying adjacent to the Derwent Ings National Nature Reserve and with canal and river walks on the doorstep, this small village also boasts an excellent children’s play area. Early internal viewing of this idyllic country cottage is strongly recommended, and the property is offered with no forward chain.
