A superb three bedroom stone built cottage situated in the North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley
Once part of the Duncombe Park Estate, this charming cottage dates back to circa 1880. The property sits on a sizeable plot, behind a pretty front garden and generous driveway. Currently used as a successful holiday let, the property would work equally well for someone looking for a private residence that is well-placed for access to Helmsley's excellent amenities.
This three bedroom cottage is arranged over two floors, with living accommodation extending to just over 1,300 square feet. The well-proportioned layout includes a handmade Treske kitchen with granite worktops, built-in fridge/ freezer, dishwasher, gas Rayburn cooker and additional gas hob and a washing machine and dryer. Just off from the kitchen is the guest accommodation which comprises a downstairs shower room, living/ study area with fitted cupboards and wardrobe and stairs leading to the bedroom.
Continuing through the ground floor is a sizeable sitting room with beautiful exposed wooden beams and an open fireplace.
A further door leads to the recently finished conservatory which enjoys particularly nice views over the garden.
Ascending the main staircase to the first floor, a spacious landing leads to two further double bedrooms and the house bathroom. Of particular note is the principal bedroom which benefits from a full wall of fitted wardrobes.
Externally the property offers parking for up to three cars on a gravelled driveway. To the rear of the property is a particularly private garden, flanked by mature trees and hedges, well-stocked borders and a pond.
There is a sizeable timber outbuilding with electricity, providing additional storage.

Forge Cottage is such a delightful cottage, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the market square but close enough to wander in and enjoy all that Helmsley has to offer.
