    About this property

    • The Wasps Nest is a charming period property nestled away in the heart of Green Hammerton. The property offers so much with its private garden, workshop, space for up to three cars and the opportunity to renovate and adapt.

      The main accommodation spans just over 2,000 square feet and has beautiful period features such as wooden beams and sash windows. There is an excellent outbuilding which could be a gym, workshop or home office.

      Upon entering, the kitchen/dining room is a bright and spacious area with plenty of workspace, fitted with an Aga. A particular highlight is the bay window overlooking the cottage style garden. A door leads through to a boot room/wine store and a glazed garden room offering superb views over the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a new wet room and W.C. Leading off from the kitchen/diner is a well-proportioned open plan dining room and sitting room with the original range fireplace, also benefitting from south-facing views over the garden.

      There is a further reception room and utility room beyond the sitting room, which could be a home office, play room or annexe.

      The first floor hosts a good size principal bedroom with adjoining en suite. There are a further two double bedrooms with lovely views over the south facing garden, and a family bathroom/W.C.
