This traditional, double fronted period cottage lies at the heart of the village and overlooks the broad green that runs along Main Street. Elmer Cottage has the rare advantage of a being a three bedroom house with an established garden that extends to over one acre. The village itself is sought after being located just north of York with its preponderance of fine vernacular architecture and houses facing each other across a broad stray; there is a superb primary school and Rose & Crown pub.

We wish to draw attention to the fact that the property has a sitting tenant and is offered with no vacant possession.

Further Details - The cottage is traditionally designed with well proportioned rooms sitting either side of a central staircase hall. On the ground floor the reception rooms have exposed ceiling beams and the windows face the village street. The galley kitchen has a walk-in larder cupboard and a fine outlook across the garden. On the first floor are two double bedrooms both of which enjoy south facing views along the village street. The single bedroom has glorious views down the garden, and there is a house bathroom with a separate wc. Fitted cupboards run along the landing.

Outside - A drive on the eastern boundary passes through a five-bar gate to the double garage and the extensive gravelled parking and turning area at the rear of the house. A large outbuilding with store abuts the house. At the rear, the garden stretches northwards for over one acre. The near section is beautifully landscaped with deep herbaceous borders either side of the lawn, planted with an abundance of perennials, shrubs and trees. The garden is predominantly lawned with some raised beds, scattered trees, and bounded by a belt of trees as well as mature hedging and some timber fencing. At the far northern boundary it neighbours green pastures.
