Semi-detached house for sale in Quarry Road, Burniston, Scarborough YO13

An unspoilt country cottage, set within large and mature grounds of over three quarters of an acre and located just outside of the North York Moors National Park along a quiet road on the western fringes of Burniston village.

An idyllically situated character property, 2 Quarry Garth has been under the same ownership for over 40 years when it was last on the open market and was comprehensively refurbished quite soon after it was purchased. The property now requires an extensive programme of renovation and has the scope to extend if required (subject to all necessary planning consents) and offers an increasingly rare chance to create a one-off home in an idyllic position.

Believed to have been built over 200 years ago, the unlisted property provides around 1,700 square feet of accommodation which briefly comprises the following layout of rooms. Entrance hall, dual aspect sitting room with an open fire, large living room with original fireplace and fitted bookshelves, large breakfast kitchen with adjoining utility room and cloakroom and a spacious garden room to the rear, with doors leading directly out onto the wide, flagged terrace. Upstairs is a large main bedroom with a dual aspect, two further bedrooms and a generous house bathroom.

The property sits in extensive grounds of 0.75 acres, which are exceptionally private and sheltered. A mixture of formal lawned gardens planted up with mature herbaceous shrubs and well-established fruit trees and a separate, wilder garden with a well-established belt of woodland to the northern edge. There is plenty of parking on the lengthy driveway to the side of the house and a useful garage building.

Burniston is a popular and well served village some three miles from the seaside resort of Scarborough. The village is well served by two Pubs, a village shop, garage, and complemented by a vibrant local community with an active village hall. The local primary school is sought after and was rated ‘Excellent’ in the most recent Ofsted report. The village is especially well positioned for the outdoors with the walks directly down to the coast at Burniston Rocks and nearby Hayburn Wyke.
