Semi-detached house for sale in Stonegrave, York YO62

A highly appealing & deceptively spacious three-bedroom semi-detached cottage with lovely south-facing garden, ample parking, large garage & home office, in a picturesque village within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Located in the centre of Stonegrave, South Farm Cottage is a highly appealing semi-detached cottage which reveals deceptively spacious three-bedroom accommodation, with a bright and airy interior. Constructed of stone beneath a pantile roof, the cottage is tastefully appointed throughout and enjoys a practical layout with views across its south-facing garden, and an open aspect beyond.

The total accommodation amounts to approximately 1,150sq.ft and to the ground floor includes an entrance hall, a large dining kitchen with integrated appliances, a sitting room with multi-fuel stove and parquet floor, and a useful utility room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (two doubles, one single), and a spacious house bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower. There is uPvc double-glazing throughout, and oil-fired central heating.

Externally, the house is approached through a sliding, electric gate onto a sizeable tarmac parking area, where there is space for at least four cars; this in turn leads to a 24ft garage with electric door. The back garden faces almost due south, enjoying an excellent level of privacy, and has been attractively landscaped with stone-flagged terrace, lawn, and colourful shrub borders. A home office is positioned in one corner of the plot and is ideal for anyone looking to work from home but would be equally suited as a garden room.

The neighbouring market towns of Malton and Helmsley offer a wide range of local amenities including secondary schooling and a railway station in Malton with regular services to York, from where London can be reached in less than 2 hours.
