A beautifully renovated period cottage offering deceptively spacious three-bedroom accommodation together with a pretty, south-facing garden, located in a sought-after village within the Howardian Hills.
The Nightingales is a beautifully renovated period cottage with south-facing garden, enjoying a delightful position set back from the main street in this sought after Howardian Hills village. Understood to have started life as three small cottages, some years ago these were combined to create a hugely appealing home which is flooded with natural light. Constructed of stone, beneath a clay pantile roof, the outer walls have been re-pointed with lime mortar, windows are double-glazed Yorkshire sliding sash, and there is oil-fired central heating throughout.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, featuring solid oak doors throughout and comprises entrance hall, sitting room with wood burning stove, dining room, kitchen diner, first floor landing, master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a spacious house bathroom.
Externally, there is space to park two cars at the front of the cottage, whilst at the rear there is a beautifully landscaped garden, which enjoys considerable privacy and a south-facing aspect. In the south-western corner of the garden is an incredibly useful studio, which would also make an excellent home office. The property also includes a stone-built garden store, and a gated side passage allows for access to the rear of the cottage.
Welburn is a well-regarded village set within the Howardian Hills National Landscape. It has a thriving community and benefits from a popular pub, coffee shop, primary school, and a modern and active village hall. There is easy access to the A64, approximately 1 mile away, providing convenient access to Malton (5 miles), York (14 miles) and Leeds (40 miles). Castle Howard house and grounds are only a 5-minute drive away and there are endless footpaths crossing the stunning countryside that this area is famed for.

A stone paved terrace spans the full width of the plot, beyond which is a pretty cottage garden, thoughtfully landscaped with well-stocked shrub borders packed with spring bulbs, flowering shrubs and perennials, intertwined by a series of gravelled pathways. There is a variety of fruit trees within the garden too, including apple, plum, greengage and pear. A greenhouse and stone and pantile log store stand on one side of the plot, whilst to the far end there is a very useful studio/home office with an adjoining garden store.
