Description

The property is situated on the edge of the attractive rural village of Thirkleby, occupying a secluded position with far-reaching, uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.

Foxglove Cottage is an attractive traditional two-bedroom bungalow, occupying a delightful position within landscaped gardens and surrounded 

by adjoining paddocks. The property is accessed directly from the public highway, leading to a generous parking area, while a separate access serves the grassland. The property is offered for sale as a whole or in two separate lots, providing flexibility for a range of purchasers.

Lot 1 - The Bungalow, Gardens, Woodland and Paddocks Extending to 6.35 Acres. (Edged Red)

Lot 1 comprises a detached two-bedroom bungalow set well back from the road and approached via a private driveway leading to a generous parking area to the front of the property.

The accommodation is well laid out and briefly comprises an entrance hall leading into the main hallway, from which all of the principal rooms are accessed. The dining room overlooks the gardens and leads through to a conservatory, while the lounge, featuring an open fireplace, connects to the traditional kitchen. Off the kitchen is a family bathroom fitted with a bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin, together with a useful utility room providing access to the rear garden. The accommodation is completed by two good-sized double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes.

Whilst the bungalow would benefit from modernisation, it offers excellent potential for improvement and could be extended or reconfigured, subject to the necessary consents, to create a superb family home.

Outside, the property is surrounded by well-established gardens with lawns, mature trees, shrubs and a variety of fruit trees, creating a private and attractive setting. There is also a paved patio, a detached brick workshop, greenhouse and several useful garden sheds.

Beyond the gardens are paddocks extending around the eastern side of the property, together with an area of mature woodland to the north and west. Within the woodland is a timber pole barn, providing useful storage and offering potential for further improvement. Beyond the woodland lies a further paddock extending to approximately 3.5 acres, incorporating two attractive ponds and offering excellent opportunities for grazing, conservation, tree planting or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside.

Overall, Lot 1 offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a bungalow with established gardens, woodland and pasture with excellent scope to modernise and create an exceptional rural home.

A further 13.29 acres approx is available at a guide price of £125,000 - £150,000
