Full property description

This charming double-fronted 1800s cottage is a truly special home, rich in character, original features, and timeless appeal, all set within the highly desirable village of Brayton.

From the moment you step inside, the property’s heritage is immediately apparent, with exposed beams, original detailing, and a welcoming lounge centred around an open fireplace—perfect for cosy evenings. The ground floor offers a well-balanced and practical layout, including a spacious sitting room to the front, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, alongside a separate dining room providing a more formal setting for family meals and gatherings. The generously sized kitchen offers ample workspace and storage, benefitting from two pantry cupboards and an Aga range cooker, while a convenient ground floor WC completes the accommodation.

Upstairs, a large central landing provides access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly attractive, featuring a walk-in closet that offers excellent storage and potential to be converted into an en-suite, subject to requirements. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and versatile, with the smallest room lending itself perfectly to a home office, nursery, or hobby space. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower and also benefits from a large airing cupboard.

Further potential is offered by the fully boarded loft, which could be converted into additional accommodation such as a home office or studio, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the property occupies a generous and private plot, with a predominantly lawned garden complemented by a paved patio area, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature trees and well-established shrubs border the garden, creating a secluded and attractive setting.

The grounds are both practical and well-equipped, featuring a brick-built outbuilding, a traditional coal shed, a greenhouse, and a useful lean-to storage area, ideal for gardening and additional storage.

To the front, a spacious lawn with established planting enhances the property’s kerb appeal, while a paved driveway to the side provides access to a good-sized garage with a pitched roof, offering excellent storage or workshop potential, along with ample off-street parking.

Combining period charm with exciting potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly one-off home in a sought-after village location, offering space, character, and lifestyle in equal measure.

Brayton offers a diverse range of local amenities, including schools (Brayton High School has an outstanding OFSTED report), shops, and recreational areas, making it an attractive location for both families and professionals. With its close proximity to the historic cities of York and Leeds and excellent transport links, this property embodies the perfect blend of comfortable countryside living and easy access to urban conveniences.
