A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious Grade II Listed double-fronted cottage on Helperby's picturesque Main Street. Features include 2 reception rooms, large kitchen, 3 double bedrooms, en-suite shower room and an idyllic walled rear garden with a versatile 175 sq ft outbuilding "ready to go" as a home office, workshop, studio or gym.
Believed to date back to the early 19th Century and once serving as the village shop, Valley Cottage is a truly enchanting Grade II Listed home, rich in history, character and timeless charm. Beautifully presented throughout, it effortlessly blends period features with thoughtful modern enhancements to create a warm and welcoming village retreat.
At the heart of the home is a magnificent 22'10" open-plan dining and living space, where exposed beams, a stone-flagged floor and an abundance of character create an inviting setting for family life and entertaining. Beyond lies a beautifully appointed Howdens kitchen featuring granite worktops, integrated appliances and delightful views over the rear garden, with a stable door opening directly onto a paved seating area.
The elegant dual-aspect sitting room with oak herringbone flooring is a wonderful cosy space with a window seat, centered around a wood-burning stove set within a handcrafted oak fireplace by renowned local craftsmen Wren Cabinetmakers of Thirlby.
A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, a bespoke Wren oak handrail leads to 3 generous double bedrooms, including a delightful principal suite with period fireplace and en-suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, while a partially boarded loft offers useful additional storage.
Other internal features of note include an oil fired radiator central heating system and a mix of secondary, single and double glazing.
Outside, the cottage continues to impress with "on street" parking and an idyllic walled rear garden offering a beautifully enclosed and private sanctuary with a lawn, flowerbed borders, small storage barn and secluded decked seating areas.
A substantial double-glazed rustic red brick outbuilding provides approximately 175 sq ft of versatile space, currently used as a studio but equally suited as a home office, gym, workshop or creative retreat.
The rear garden also benefits from a gated pedestrian right of access across the rear of the neighbouring Swift Cottage.
