A rare opportunity to Renovate a charming historical house and cottage.
Monks House is thought to date back to the 14th century and started life as a Yorkshire Long House. A charming property with a fascinating history, the house is rumored to have been home to the priest for the nearby priory. Interestingly it shares mason's marks with Mount Grace and also the historic Duck Bridge on the moors and has been mentioned in many historical guides including Nicholas Pevsner's North Riding volume.
The property is currently arranged as a three bedroom cottage with attached one bedroom annexe, previously used as a successful holiday let popular with walkers on Wainwright's Coast to Coast path. Abundant in wonderful period features including stone mullioned windows, exposed oak beams and carved stonework; this property now requires a degree of renovation work and provides the perfect opportunity for those looking for a house to make their own.
The main house features two generous reception rooms, a kitchen and utility to the rear of the property, three spacious bedrooms and a house bathroom.
The attached cottage has a wonderful sitting room, with solid fuel Raeburn set into a carved stone fireplace, kitchen, bedroom and house bathroom. The first floor also has a small second bedroom/ study and additional storage space.
Externally the property sits behind a pretty garden comprising a central lawn flanked with planted borders and mature shrubbery. There is a garage and parking space at the front.
