2 bed detached house for sale

Boroughbridge Road, Green Hammerton, York YO26

The Old Manse is an elegant, double-fronted former manse believed to date from c.1700, offering more than three centuries of heritage and character. Its wisteria-clad façade, columned entrance and traditional sash windows give it a timeless presence on the edge of the conservation area. The property also forms part of the village’s social history, having once served as St John’s Children’s Home.

Presented in beautiful condition throughout and sold with no onward chain, the house provides bright, well-proportioned living spaces. Two reception rooms feature a log burner and an original period fireplace. The kitchen sits to the rear of the property, offering a practical layout with scope to reconfigure or enhance to suit modern living. Upstairs, both double bedrooms enjoy dual-aspect corner windows, bringing excellent natural light throughout the day. An impressive full-height original cellar offers valuable storage or hobby space.

The rear of the property includes a private garden with a lawned area, patio and a covered pergola-style seating area leading directly to the back door - ideal for sheltered outdoor dining or relaxation. To the side, double gates offer the potential for off-street parking, a rare advantage for a period home in the village.

Green Hammerton is a thriving community with the Bay Horse pub, village shop and post office, village club, and large sports fields with the village hall at its centre. The village sits almost exactly equidistant between York and Harrogate, giving residents superb access to two of North Yorkshire’s most desirable centres. The nearby market town of Boroughbridge provides a full range of mainstream shops, while York and Harrogate offer extensive retail, dining and cultural options. Transport links are excellent, with Kirk Hammerton and Cattal stations providing regular services to York, Harrogate and Leeds, and the A1(M) just a short drive away.

Compliance

Agents are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those buying a property. We outsource the initial checks to a partner supplier, Coadjute, who will contact you once you have had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £40 + VAT per person. This is a non-refundable fee. These charges cover the cost of obtaining relevant data, any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid, and the checks completed in advance of the office issuing a memorandum of sale on the property you would like to buy.
