2 bed terraced house for sale in Main Street, York

A quintessential period cottage with more behind its pretty façade than one would initially imagine. This property boasts a well-stocked, walled cottage garden to the front, three reception rooms, wood burning stove kitchen diner and ground floor WC, two bedrooms and a house bathroom. Having been recently redecorated throughout, this beautiful cottage is ready to move into.

Externally to the rear, the cottage has a low maintenance yet sizeable courtyard, providing access to a workshop and garages in tandem with vehicular access from Piggy Lane. Situated within the conservation area on the Main Street in this most sought-after village, the property is ideally placed for the major road networks this beautiful location has to offer.

The pretty front porch with climbing roses separates the living room from the entrance of the house. Ample space is provided for a coat rack. Typical of a country cottage, the stable door and window to the front aspect sets the scene for the charming home beyond. An outside tap has been plumbed here for the front garden and the tiled flooring is ideal for this area of the home.

An inner door gives access to the living room, where a bay window overlooks a well-stocked, cottage garden to the front. The living room also boasts a fireplace which houses a wood burning stove. Wall lights to the alcoves and an exposed beam complete the living room. A staircase leads up to the first floor.

Beyond the living room, a stable door opens into the kitchen which enjoys an open plan area suitable for use as informal dining or seating by the kitchen. One of two arched windows within the property gives views of the rear courtyard, as well as acting as an internal focal point.

A useful ground floor WC has been fitted below the staircase. There is a hand wash basin, a macerator toilet, extractor fan and tiled floor.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units with marble-effect, laminate preparation areas over. A 1 1/2 stainless steel sink and drainer sits below a window to the side elevation. Integrated appliances include an oven and grill, a five-ring gas hob with extractor over, fridge and a washing machine. Space and plumbing is provided for a slimline dishwasher. Tiled flooring and metro tiled splash backs complete the kitchen.

Beyond the kitchen is a further reception room with a window and a stable door to the side elevation and double doors which open to the conservatory.

With views of the rear courtyard, the conservatory is a wonderful addition to the home. There is a tiled floor, glazed roof and double doors which open out to the courtyard.

To the first floor, a landing area gives access to the house bathroom and two bedrooms. Traditional cottage-style, internal doors add character, and a large hatch gives access to the loft via a drop-down ladder. The loft is fully boarded and benefits from a light.

The main bedroom located to the front of the house enjoys views over the front garden and the pretty Main Street beyond. Two good-sized wardrobes with hanging rails and shelves have been fitted to the rear wall.

The house bathroom is fitted with a low-level WC, hand wash basin, shower cubicle and roll top, claw foot bath with tap and shower attachment. There is an arched window to the rear, tiled walls and floor and ceiling spotlights and an extractor fan.

A smaller double bedroom is located to the rear of the property with a window to the side elevation and a cupboard to the eaves storage. The Ideal, gas-fired boiler fitted in March 2021, is also located with the cupboard and provides central heating to the house via radiators.

The private rear courtyard is laid with an Indian Stone patio that contrasts beautifully with the old, cobbled wall, which makes up part of the boundary. Fencing adorned with creeping and climbing greenery continues to the garage and rear access gate. There is also an external tap and power point.

Piggy Lane provides access to the vehicular door of the tandem garage workshop, while a pedestrian access is located off the rear courtyard. The garage is fitted with power and light and was re-roofed some years back.
