The Property

This delightful home has been thoughtfully modernised, successfully blending period charm with contemporary touches, while still offering excellent scope for further enhancement and personalisation. Situated in the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Askham Richard, this attractive residence exudes warmth and character throughout. Original features abound, including exposed timber beams, stripped wooden flooring, and feature fireplaces, all combining to create a home of undeniable charm.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into an inviting reception area which provides access to the first-floor staircase. This versatile space lends itself perfectly as a dining area and benefits from useful built-in storage, a feature fireplace, and a well-positioned study nook, ideal for home working.

The sitting room is both cosy and generously proportioned, centred around a charming log-burning stove, bespoke alcove shelving, storage and exposed beamed ceiling. The attractive shaker-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complemented by ample work preparation surfaces and a sink unit and space for a range-style cooker. From the kitchen, a rear hallway provides access to the outside and leads to a ground floor bathroom.

To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own charm and of particular not bedroom 3 with its very own bespoke built in bunk. Additionally, there is a useful walk-in cupboard located off the landing, which offers excellent potential to be converted into an en-suite or additional shower room, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the property is approached via wrought iron gates which open onto a generous, enclosed parking area, providing ample off-street parking. There is also access to a detached garage, formerly a stable, offering further versatility and potential.
