Terraced house for sale in Main Street, Scotton, Knaresborough HG5

This is a wonderful stone built terraced cottage, in the heart of the small rural village of Scotton, just two miles from Knaresborough and only three miles from Harrogate. For some, a more important fact is that it is a minute's walk from the fantastic Guy Fawkes Arms country pub in the village.

This charming two bed property includes a modern breakfast kitchen, en suite bathroom, guest WC. The perfect North Yorkshire village home.

The back garden has been paved for easy maintenance, and access can be gained from the kitchen door or a small ginnel two doors down. The large area is raised, with a low retaining wall and shale border. Privacy is maintained by tall, mature hedging to one side and a dry stone wall on the other. A pathway leads to the shared external storage at the bottom of the garden.

Living Room

3.8m x 3.7m - 12'6” x 12'2”
Unlike some cottages, you do not enter this impressive room directly from the front door. The hallway, with wide, inset coir matting to ensure the dirty shoes don't impact the carpets, has a separate door. What will strike you immediately is the superb fireplace with tiled inset and hearth, and the character of the exposed timber. The log burner will keep you nice and toasty in the colder months. Can you imagine this at Christmas time?

Breakfast Kitchen

4.6m x 3.5m - 15'1” x 11'6”
Charming cottages often have small kitchens, reflecting styles of the past, but this has a wonderful kitchen diner with tiled flooring. There is space for your table and chairs, and there is an excellent under stairs storage cupboard for hiding away the essentials. The shaker style units are in keeping, with oak work surface on two sides. The deep Belfast sink with mixer tap adds to the character, and the cooker, electric hob with extractor over and dishwasher are all integrated. Finally there is space near the larder for your tall fridge freezer and a home for your washer dryer.

Guest WC

1.6m x 1.5m - 5'3” x 4'11”
Not a tight cupboard conversion after thought, this is a spacious cloakroom with white suite of WC and wash basin with tiled splash back.

Bedroom (Double) With Ensuite

3.8m x 3.8m - 12'6” x 12'6”
Again an exposed timber provides the character and blends with the modern by having power sockets and an aerial point for your essential wall mounted TV to optimise space. A double bed will fit comfortably here with room left for your choice of furniture.

Ensuite Bathroom

1.9m x 1.6m - 6'3” x 5'3”
Where else would you find a full en suite bathroom in a period cottage? You will be invigorated by rainhead shower, or will it be a relaxing bath while you lay smugly reflecting on the quality of your new home? The walls are tiled white where needed, complementing the white suite of wash basin, WC and bath with shower over. The hinged shower screen will do its job, and finally the chrome heated rail at the bath end means a short reach for the towels.

Bedroom 2

3.5m x 1.7m - 11'6” x 5'7”
This is the second bedroom, a single at the rear of the house. What will this be for you; dressing room, study, guest room? Come for a viewing and tell us.
