Full property description
Bursting with character and charm, Mulberry Cottage is a historic gem dating back to 1885, set on a spacious corner plot with stunning views over The Seggans. Offering modern eco-friendly upgrades, architectural plans for remodelling, and a vibrant village lifestyle, this unique home is ready for its new owners to make it their dream home.
Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Great Ouseburn, Mulberry Cottage is a delightful and unique property steeped in history, character, and potential. Dating back as far as 1885 and once part of Lord Knaresborough's estate, this home has only had four owners since it was sold off in 1914—complete with original paperwork to tell its story.
This quirky corner plot offers a rare opportunity to own one of the village’s older cottages, lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years while retaining its original charm. The property comes with a Certificate of Lawful Development and Building Control Notes (2023) to remodel the ground floor, providing options to modernize and create a spacious dining kitchen and downstairs shower room by repurposing the existing double garage. Architectural drawings and layout options are included in the sale.

Cloakroom: Easily accessible via a farmhouse door.
Hallway: Includes a useful understairs cupboard and a bespoke solid oak front door with an elegant canopy.
