Wishart Estate Agents are delighted to present this quintessential chocolate box cottage located within a pretty York village. This two bedroom period cottage has been renovated throughout to a high standard & benefits from a brick-built outbuilding with electricity & light. Offered with no onward chain.

Orchard View, Skelton is a traditional two bedroom cottage situated within the heart of this popular village east of the city of York. Featuring well-connected transport links good local amenities and a primary school.

Fully refurbished, the internal accommodation begins with a good size lounge featuring an exposed brick fireplace, completely repointed in lime as one would expect within the sympathetic renovation of a historic cottage. Bespoke joinery to the chimney alcove provides storage. The window to the front elevation allows for a naturally light room where the solid timber external front door add character inside and out. Traditional fittings including cast iron radiator, joinery and plasterwork all contribute to the charming feel of this delightful room.

Located to the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units provide ample storage. A Belfast sink with built-in drainer sits within timber worktops and enjoys views over the rear courtyard. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and hob whilst space is provided for further freestanding appliances. Limestone flooring completes the room.

Conveniently located to the rear of the property is a ground floor shower room, currently under construction. This room will be finished to the same high standard as the rest of the property and will include a low level WC wash handbasin and shower cubicle. A frosted glazed window allows natural light into this room.

To the first floor, bedroom one is located to the front of the property and enjoys delightful views across this Yorkshire Village. A built-in cupboard houses the gas fired central heating boiler.

Bedroom two is located to the rear of the property and features a window and again a wardrobe providing storage.

A thoughtful addition to the first floor and, in an amendment to the original layout of these cottages with ground floor bathrooms, a cloakroom has been added off the landing serving both bedroom one and two. The cloakroom features a low-level WC wash handbasin, stylish tiling to the walls and a window to the rear elevation.

Externally, the property has a path leading to the front door. Both practical and attractive, a paved, walled courtyard to the rear is easy maintenance as well as enjoying pretty climbing plants. The courtyard benefits from a good size outbuilding featuring pedestrian access door and window. Internally the outbuilding also has a large store. The outbuilding benefits from power and light and is ideal for those who work from home or have hobbies.

As one would expect in a period property of this era, there is a right of access across the courtyards, on foot, for neighbouring properties.
