Murk Esk Cottage, Goathland YO22

Hope & Braim are delighted to present Murk Esk Cottage, a substantial stone-built property set within an idyllic rural position near Goathland, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Extending to some 8 acres, the property combines a beautifully presented family home with a self-contained annexe and an established holiday letting business, offering a rare and versatile lifestyle opportunity.

The main cottage retains a wealth of period features throughout, complemented by quality fittings and a beautifully presented interior. The ground floor comprises a lounge and separate sitting room, each with their own fireplace, one fitted with a log burner, creating warm and characterful living spaces. The kitchen/diner is a particular highlight, with a vaulted ceiling, shaker cabinetry and quartz worktops, while a separate utility room and downstairs shower room add practicality to the layout. Upstairs, four bedrooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate shower.

Adjoining the cottage is a self-contained one-bedroom barn conversion, ideal for multi-generational living, letting income, or use as ancillary accommodation. The grounds further include two shepherd's huts set within a grass paddock, forming an established holiday letting business that offers strong potential for continued income generation.

Outside, the landscaped gardens feature outdoor terraces and mature trees, providing attractive spaces for relaxing and entertaining while taking in the surrounding countryside. The land comprises woodland and grassed clearings and benefits from a public right of way that offers direct access to the Rail Trail. Practical features include oil central heating, solar panels and double-glazing throughout, combining rural charm with modern efficiency.

Set within the National Park, Murk Esk Cottage enjoys a genuinely idyllic setting, with the moors and surrounding countryside on the doorstep, while Goathland village and the wider Esk Valley remain within easy reach.
