The Nest, 1 Primrose Hill, Castleton YO21

Hope & Braim are delighted to present The Nest, a charming 18th-century stone cottage on Primrose Hill in the heart of Castleton. The village is surrounded by the North York Moors National Park and lies some 16 miles from the coast at Whitby. This semi-detached cottage is currently run as an established holiday let and is offered fully furnished.

The ground floor is a single open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area with plenty of period character. A stone-flagged floor, beamed ceiling and bay window with window seat set the tone, and the fireplace with wood-burning stove makes a natural focal point. The kitchen area has bespoke cabinets with oak worktops. Integrated appliances keep the space uncluttered and in keeping with the character of the cottage.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where the double bedroom has its own en-suite. The cottage has electric central heating with radaitors and double glazing throughout, so its traditional fabric comes with modern comfort.

Outside, a west-facing yard catches the afternoon and evening sun and is a pleasant place to sit out. An outbuilding provides useful storage. Parking is on the street, subject to availability.

Castleton is a well-regarded moorland village with a station on the Esk Valley line. It is a good base for walking the surrounding dales and for reaching the coast.

For buyers, The Nest is a ready-made holiday let with proven appeal to couples looking for a moorland retreat. It would equally suit someone seeking a characterful second home or a lock-up-and-leave bolthole. Its compact layout, period features and village setting give it appeal on several fronts.
