A beautifully presented Victorian cottage discretely positioned on the rural fringes of Alne, a picturesque village only 3 miles from Easingwold and 13 miles from York. Extensively upgraded by the current owners in 2023, this charming home seamlessly blends period character with modern comfort, complemented by a gated drive, versatile outbuildings and a south facing garden.
A part-covered courtyard welcomes you to this characterful period home, with entry via a practical boot room leading into a superb L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room that features integrated appliances (dishwasher, induction hob and a fan assisted oven and grill), freestanding appliance space and a timber topped breakfast/dining bar, complemented by a range of base and wall storage cupboards that includes a full height pull out larder unit.
The ground floor offers well balanced living accommodation with a spacious sitting room centred around a wood burning stove and a separate formal dining room, rich in character with exposed beams and double doors opening onto the south-facing courtyard.
The first floor landing leads off into an impressive dual aspect principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite shower room, 2 further double bedrooms and a stylish house bathroom.
The property features an energy efficient air source heat pump which was installed in 2023 during the extensive renovation works that were carried out which also included the replacement of the windows, floor coverings and a redesigned staircase, new kitchen, bathroom and en-suite shower room plus a top to bottom programme of redecoration.
Externally the property enjoys a high degree of privacy, set back from the main road and accessed via a shared private lane. This leads to a gated driveway with a substantial sliding gate and a gravelled parking area. There is also access to a car port and approximately 282 sq ft (26.19 sq m) of versatile brick and timber built outbuildings, currently utilised for storage and workshop space.
The enclosed south facing garden is a particular highlight and is mainly laid to lawn with a timber built shed providing further storage but was originally intended for keeping chickens.
