Property description

This delightful double fronted property, which dates back to the late 18th/early 19th century, offers a wealth of character, and has been beautifully extended and renovated to provide spacious accommodation. The cottage comprises of an entrance hallway, living room, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility area, downstairs cloakroom, and snug/office. Stairs from the hallway lead to the first floor landing with three double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite, and a family bathroom.

Outside there are fabulous rear gardens leading down to the River Wiske. There is a cottage garden immediately outside the property with a paved patio area. A footpath leads to further gardens, which are mainly laid to lawn but mature trees and hedging provide an extremely secluded and private feel, particular as the garden leads down to the river with lovely views across open countryside. To the front of the property is a small cobbled area with flower beds.

The property benefits from oil fired central heating and has had new windows fitted in the last 6 years. In addition, the property has a number of period features, including open beam ceilings, exposed roof timbers, oak doors, multi-fuel stove, and a roll top bath.

Newby Wiske is a picturesque village and a sought after location. It is four miles south of Northallerton and half a mile from the village of South Otterington, which offers a range of amenities, including a nursery, a reputable primary school, a public house, and a garage.

OWNER OPINION
We have loved living in Newby Wiske as it embodies everything that is the typical North Yorkshire lifestyle: a village with its own identity, a fantastic primary school (awarded 'outstanding' in its recent Ofsted report) and great country pubs, all in walking distance. Newby Wiske has a friendly community spirit that has always given us security and a sense of belonging. All this, and a only short drive from a lively market town offering all the amenities and great independent shopping.
