A semi-detached three-bedroom Edwardian cottage, in need of modernisation but offering huge potential, occupying a large plot of over one third of an acre with open views in a delightful, semi-rural position within easy reach of Malton.

This semi-detached Edwardian cottage was built in 1911 and until relatively recently, formed part of the Swinton Grange Estate. Constructed of red brick under a clay pantile roof, the property requires modernisation and improvement, but also retains a great deal of its original character and offers excellent scope to extend (subject to planning) given its generously proportioned plot size.

The accommodation, which benefits from oil-fired central heating, is arranged over two floors and amounts to approximately 830sq.ft. In brief it comprises porch, entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen diner, inner lobby, pantry, bathroom and WC. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (two with their original fireplaces).

2 Eglantine Cottages faces south and occupies a large plot of a little over one third of an acre, which adjoins open countryside to the north, across which there are superb views towards the North York Moors. The gardens extend in a westerly direction, and there is ample room to park. Directly behind the cottage is a small range of original outhouses.

Swinton Grange is located approximately 1 mile south of Swinton village and enjoys easy access to Malton via the B1257 or Castle Howard Road. Malton is some 3 miles east and has an array of shops, bars and leisure facilities, monthly food market, secondary school and railway station with regular services to the mainline station at York. Malton has in recent years gained a reputation as Yorkshire’s food capital, thanks to its high-profile food festivals and artisan producers.
