Character cottage, with huge potential for improvement set in 0.2 acres,

well located within this popular, well served village.

Ready for refurbishment, 32 Castlegate is a classic double fronted character cottage, with adjoining barn, which is set in 0.2 of an acre, on the market for only the second time in a century. The cottage formed part of the Londesborough estate and was sold off in the early 20th century, the cottage has a pleasant open aspect overlooking the ruins of Ayton castle to the west.

Retaining some attractive period details, the house would now benefit from a scheme of modernisation and some reconfiguration to make the most of the accommodation which currently amounts to 1,205 square feet. In brief; a pair of well-proportioned front reception rooms, garden facing kitchen at the rear, large side hallway and utility with cloakroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a small study and the house bathroom. Gas fired central heating.

One of the big attractions to the house is the size of the grounds it sits on, being 0.2 acres in all and the range of buildings, with a large stone barn adjoining the house to the rear offering some potential to extend the accommodation into, subject to any necessary planning consents.
