Step Inside Hayes Cottage

February 21, 2025

From the very first time we stepped in Hayes Cottage, it was clear this was no ordinary home! Tucked away on the picturesque, tree-lined avenue of Uppleby, one of Easingwold’s most sought after locations, this stunning three-bedroom cottage is a perfect blend of period charm and modern efficiency. Thoughtfully extended and impeccably maintained, it offers over 2,020 sq ft of beautifully presented living space, with a south-facing garden, gated driveway, and double garage.

Dating Back to The 1700s

With origins dating back to the early 1700s, Hayes Cottage has a rich history that can be felt in every beam and stone. Yet, thanks to a skilful extension in 2007, it now delivers the best of both worlds – character in abundance, paired with contemporary touches that make daily life effortless. From underfloor heating throughout to solar panels that not only reduce energy bills but also provide an annual income, this is a home that doesn’t just look exceptional – it performs exceptionally too!

Beautiful Ground Floor Living

As you enter this home, you’re immediately welcomed by the impressive 23’2” reception room, where a striking feature fireplace draws the eye. The seamless flow of space leads into the heart of the home – a truly stunning dining kitchen. The stone-flagged floor adds warmth and texture, while granite worktops and sleek integrated appliances elevate both style and function. We couldn’t help but imagine long, leisurely breakfasts at the dining bar, with the sun streaming through the doors that open onto the south-facing terrace.

Beyond the kitchen, a spacious sitting room provides an elegant yet cosy retreat, with a contemporary wall-mounted fire adding a stylish focal point. A beautifully appointed utility room ensures practicality never comes at the expense of design, while a convenient cloakroom/WC is tucked away nearby.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this home is its flexibility. Two interconnecting home offices enjoy peaceful views over the rear garden, offering a perfect work-from-home setup – or perhaps a hobby space, snug, or additional guest accommodation. The possibilities are endless.

First Floor Elegance

Upstairs, the thoughtful layout ensures both privacy and comfort. Two double bedrooms are situated in the original 18th-century part of the home, served by a stylish main bathroom and a separate washroom with WC. Each space has been finished to an impeccable standard, blending period proportions with modern fittings.

The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, accessed via its own private staircase. A generous walk-in wardrobe provides ample storage, while the en-suite shower room is beautifully appointed, creating a space that feels as indulgent as a boutique hotel.

A Peaceful Escape

Stepping outside, the walled rear garden is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. South-facing and perfectly manicured, it offers a wonderful mix of lush lawn, vibrant flower beds, and an original well that adds a unique feature to the space. The expansive paved terrace is perfect for entertaining – whether it’s a summer barbecue with friends or a quiet morning coffee in the sun.

A gated driveway leads to a generous block-paved parking area, car port, and double garage – all secured by a remote-controlled timber gate. With the added convenience of a separate right of access off Back Lane, this home delivers the ultimate blend of privacy and practicality.

The Best of Easingwold on Your Doorstep

One of the many reasons Hayes Cottage is so special is its location. A short stroll brings you to Easingwold’s bustling Market Place, where independent shops, cafés, and restaurants create a thriving community atmosphere. Excellent schools, beautiful countryside walks, and fantastic transport links via the A19 make this an ideal spot for those seeking both convenience and tranquillity.
