This charming three-bedroom stone-built cottage, dating back to circa 1880, is nestled in the historic market town of Helmsley within the North Yorkshire region. Formerly part of the Duncombe Park Estate, the property is set on a generous plot with a pretty front garden and a spacious driveway, currently operating as a successful holiday let but equally suitable as a private residence. The cottage, extending over 1,300 square feet, features a handmade Treske kitchen with granite worktops, a gas Rayburn cooker, and additional appliances. The ground floor also includes a guest bedroom with a shower room, a living/study area with fitted storage, and a cozy sitting room with an open fireplace. A recent addition is the conservatory, which offers lovely views of the private rear garden. Upstairs, the landing leads to two further double bedrooms and a house bathroom, with the principal bedroom boasting extensive fitted wardrobes. Externally, the property provides parking for up to three cars and a timber outbuilding with electricity. The cottage is situated in a town with a vibrant community, offering a weekly market, a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural amenities, including an arts centre and the nearby Helmsley Castle and Duncombe Park. The location also benefits from proximity to the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills AONB, with York and the Yorkshire Coast within easy reach, and access to London via train from nearby towns. The property's combination of history, character, and modern conveniences makes it an attractive proposition for those seeking a home in a picturesque and well-served location.
