71 Main Street Bishopthorpe York YO23 2RA

Guide Price: £295,000 A pretty stone-fronted cottage, beautifully presented inside, with a long rear garden, situated on Main Street in the popular village of Bishopthorpe

DESCRIPTION:

Believed to date from the late 1700s, the property was historically home to the labourers employed to construct and maintain parts of Bishopthorpe Palace. Unusually for Bishopthorpe and as a result of its connection with the Palace, its façade (along with that of the adjoining cottage) is constructed in stone, making them houses of particular aesthetic interest in the village. With exposed beams and an attractive open brick fire place this cottage has been carefully renovated without sacrificing its original charm. The house is sure to appeal to both young and mature professionals alike as well as small families along with those looking downsize to more manageable accommodation. With a new single storey extension to the rear of the property comprising of modern shaker style kitchen with soft closing units, French doors open onto a stunning African stone patio and steps to the 100ft lawned garden. No details have been overlooked when crafting this lovely home with under floor heating in the modern tiled bathroom, consisting of L shaped bath and over head shower.

ACCOMMODATION:

Comprising: living room with exposed beams and open fireplace, hall, kitchen with cream units and French doors to the rear, bathroom, master bedroom to the front and second bedroom to the rear with large fitted wardrobe. OUTSIDE:

To the front, the house is set back from Main Street behind a picket fence, with paved forecourt garden and footpath to the front door. At the back is a stone patio with room for table and chairs and then a huge lawned garden stretching back for over 100 feet. It is perhaps the garden that is such a wonderful feature of this property, being far more generous in size than one might expect and affording a wonderful opportunity for those looking for a cottage of manageable proportions, but with scope to indulge in creative gardening or for children to play. Note that there is a pedestrian right of way across the far side of the rear courtyard of this cottage in favour of the neighbour on the east side, although it is generally not used in practice for much more than taking wheelie bins in and out.
