For Sale2 Bedroom Cottage in The Green, Nun Monkton Yo26£439,950

A charming and exceptionally characterful 2 bedroom double fronted period cottage overlooking the picturesque green in the centre of the sought after North Yorkshire village of Nun Monkton. Burnsey House is believed to date back to the early 1800s and boasts a wealth of original character features. The deceptively spacious interior offers the opportunity to further update the property whilst maintaining it’s period charm. It would be ideal for a young professional couple, a second home for those from down south or from a business perspective to be run as an attractive Airbnb. The property is situated in the heart of the idyllic village of Nun Monkton with an open 20 acre green, maypole and duckpond together with the highly regarded 18th Century village inn and restaurant, The Alice Hawthorn. Nun Monkton itself is conveniently located virtually equidistant from Harrogate and York, the A1(M) is only some 5 miles away and Kirk Hammerton railway station within five minutes’ drive which has direct links to both Harrogate and York. The accommodation briefly includes an entrance porch leading into a generous sitting room featuring a wealth of exposed beams, fireplace and a wood burning stove. The 23'10" (7.26m) long dining kitchen also has an abundance of exposed ceiling beams and a magnificent galleried landing above to complement the farmhouse style kitchen with timber worktop, period style sink and an anthracite fed Aga. The kitchen also features a walk-in pantry and leads through to the original smaller kitchen/utility room, which could be used as a study or snug. A timber open tread staircase leads up to a first floor galleried landing with period doors providing access into two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and views over the village green, and a split level bathroom with wash basin, WC and a freestanding bath. Outside, the front garden enjoys views over the village green and benefits from a tandem driveway to the side providing parking for two cars and gated access into a brick built detached garage. To the rear of the cottage there is an enclosed courtyard area with private pathway which leads to an idyllic wooded area enjoying a high degree of privacy and scope to create a more formal garden area if preferred.
