Sawdon, Scarborough

A well specified and stylishly presented period property, set in over an acre of grounds and land. Situated within a quiet, unspoilt rural village on the edge of The North York Moors National Park, yet only a mile off the A170.
Holly Cottage is an exceptionally well-rounded home, combining practicality, lifestyle and character in equal measure. Set in just over 1 acre with landscaped gardens and grass paddock making it an ideal family home but equally well suited for those with equestrian or small holding interests.
The house has been substantially remodelled and improved by the current owners, with works carried out including a full re-roof, re pointing of the property with lime mortar and remodelling of the internal accommodation to create a more family friendly and versatile flow of space. Outside, an adjoining building has been converted to make a large home office and a detached oak framed double garage was built in 2018.
An 18th century detached property, there are a number of original features still in situ and in all the house provides around 2,400 square feet in total. In brief, a central entrance hall with cloakroom, a pair of nicely proportioned, front facing reception room and an open plan farmhouse kitchen, with Aga which opens into a light and airy main reception room, with the southern aspect being bifold doors, opening directly out onto lawn. The living room has a vaulted ceiling and a wood burning stove. On the first floor, galleried landing, master bedroom with recently added dressing room and an en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and the main house bathroom.
The house is set within large grounds, with a pretty cottage garden, lengthy gravel driveway with ample parking, stables, stores and grass paddock make the property ideal for those with horticultural, smallholding or equestrian interests.
