Church Street, Nunnington, York Guide Price £285,000

A pretty, stone-built cottage located in a sought-after Conservation village and offering characterful and generously proportioned two-bedroom accommodation with a lovely rear garden.

Number 3 Church Street is a pretty, stone-built cottage located at the heart of this much-loved Conservation village, which lies within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property is thought to date from the late Eighteenth Century and is constructed of attractive limestone elevations beneath a clay pantile roof.

The property is slightly elevated above the village street and benefits from well-proportioned rooms with surprisingly high ceilings, plenty of natural light and a good level of character. Its accommodation is arranged over two floors and amounts to a little over 800sq.ft. To the ground floor, an entrance hall opens to a good-size, double aspect dining kitchen with oil-fired AGA, a nicely proportioned sitting room with open fire and exposed stonework to one wall, beyond which is a spacious bathroom. Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms with space to reconfigure to create an upstairs bathroom, if required.

Externally there is an easily managed rear garden with lawn and well-established shrubs, and a pleached apple tree, overlooking an adjoining paddock. Parking is available in front of the cottage, on Church Street.
