General Remarks

Believed to have been constructed in the 1890's we offer a lovely character cottage, ideally positioned for countryside views. The property is also conveniently located with excellent access to the City of York and University of York, A64 and beyond.

Experience the warmth of 1 Church View, a home defined by its beautiful, expansive garden. The property welcomes you with a brick-enclosed forecourt featuring a gravel surround at the front. To the rear, a hidden gem of a garden awaits, boasting lush perennial borders, a stone rockery, and a peaceful patio with a timber arbor-perfect for relaxing. The far end of the garden is thoughtfully designed with a vegetable plot and a timber gate leading to a spacious, timber-clad carport. Timber storage shed.

The ground floor opens with a practical entrance vestibule featuring recessed storage for coats and shoes. This leads into a bright and airy living-dining room, where an Oak-engineered door with glass panelling opens into the modern kitchen. Extended in 2013 and finished in a classic Shaker style, the kitchen is designed to maximise views of the garden. It features an integrated eye-level double oven and grill, a gas hob with extractor, and dedicated space for a washing machine, alongside a convenient breakfast bar and direct garden access.

The cottage offers two bedrooms on the first floor-a spacious double and a cozy single-both thoughtfully fitted with wardrobes and elegant Louvre-style shutters. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, offering picturesque views toward the village church and fields where llamas can be seen grazing. A modern bathroom serves the home, complete with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Additionally, a versatile second-floor loft room provides excellent extra space and convenient eaves storage.

In summary: A perfect property for young professionals and garden lovers.

Offer Procedure

Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

Anti Money Laundering

We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

Aml checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing aml check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint hipla as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), hipla will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the aml check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from hipla which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
