3 bed terraced house for sale

West End, Ampleforth, York YO62

A pretty stone-built cottage offering deceptively spacious and recently updated accommodation with three reception rooms and three double bedrooms, together with a glorious garden of approaching one third of an acre.

Rose Bank Cottage is a pretty, stone-built cottage enjoying a scenic position within the Ampleforth Conservation Area and within the boundaries of the North York Moors National Park. Within the last four years the property has been attractively updated throughout, creating an appealing home of considerable character.

The accommodation, which amounts to almost 1,170sq.ft, briefly comprises: Entrance lobby, sitting room with log burner, snug, dining room, kitchen and pantry. At first floor level there are three double bedrooms, one with en-suite cloakroom, and a house bathroom. As part of the improvement works, the kitchen and bathroom fittings have been stylishly updated, and windows have been replaced, including hardwood Yorkshire sliding sash windows to the front elevation.

Of particular note is the wonderful rear garden, which totals around one third of an acre. It has been attractively landscaped, featuring a wide variety of specimen trees, flowering shrubs and perennials. It rises gently in a northerly direction and from the upper section there are some lovely views across undulating countryside. Two timber sheds, a summer house and a recently constructed greenhouse and laundry room form part of the property. Parking is readily available in front of the cottage, on the village street.

Ampleforth is one of North Yorkshire’s best-loved villages. Nestled into a hillside, it sits within particularly attractive countryside between the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village features an attractive mix of period, stone houses and benefits from a surprising number of amenities including village shop and post office, two good pubs, a coffee shop, Doctor’s surgery, a primary school and Ampleforth College. The Georgian market town of Helmsley is only 4 miles away and benefits from a wide range of facilities. The other three Ryedale market towns are all within an easy drive and the City of York is some 19 miles south.
