3 bedroom house

This pretty, detached cottage is tucked away in a quiet position and is set within especially attractive gardens. Red House is believed to date from the late 1800s and originally formed part of the Birdsall Estate, when it served as the blacksmith’s shop.

The property has been immaculately maintained by the current owners, who have lived there since 1965. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, first floor landing, three bedrooms and a house bathroom. Subject to planning consent, there is good potential to extend the house, and there is obvious scope to incorporate an external store into further accommodation. A number of the windows are double glazed and central heating is provided by a back boiler on a stove in the dining room.

The gardens at Red House are delightful and have been meticulously maintained over many years. The total site area amounts to approximately 0.17 acres and features lawn, rose beds, shrub borders and vegetable patch. A timber summer house, garden shed and greenhouse are included in the sale. The current owners tend to park on the lane in front of the property, but there is potential to create a driveway within the garden if required, and the base of a former garage adjoins the eastern side of the cottage.

Duggleby is a quiet, rural village set amidst the rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds. Excellent local facilities are available in the nearby market town of Malton, some 7 ½ miles north-west, including railway station with regular services to York, from where London can be reached in less than 2 hours. Driffield, Scarborough and the city of York are all easily accessible, and the neighbouring estate village of Sledmere with its stately home, benefits from a popular pub and farm shop.
