3 Bed Cottage For Sale

Open viewing Saturday 20th September – please call for your appointment to view

A unique opportunity to own a delightful mid-terrace cottage in a welcoming community within the highly regarded village of Acaster Malbis, just outside of the history City of York. Three bedrooms, open plan living and ground floor WC, private south facing rear gardens, two allocated parking spaces and EV point. Offered for sale with no onward chain.  

What makes this home truly special is its setting. Tucked away within the charming Chestnut Farm development, this brick-built three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage forms part of a unique conversion of the former farmstead, once used as holiday cottages. Nestled among a traditional farmhouse and luxury modern lodges, it offers characterful yet practical accommodation perfectly suited to couples, families, or downsizers alike.

Unlike the neighbouring over-45s luxury lodges, this property is entirely freehold with no age restrictions – providing the opportunity for buyers of all ages to enjoy a countryside lifestyle in a secure and welcoming environment.

Surrounded by open countryside, with riverside walks and a well-regarded local pub nearby, Chestnut Farm occupies a lovely position on the edge of Acaster Malbis, a postcard-pretty village just outside York. Blending rural charm with city convenience, this inviting home is offered with no onward chain.

Accessed via a stylish cottage style composite front door with traditionally designed black hardware, the entrance opens onto stone flooring that flows through the hallway and into the bespoke hand-built kitchen with base and wall units. The kitchen units are painted in a striking deep blue with pale granite worktops and a stainless steel sink under a window overlooking the garden. There is space for a washer-dryer and a small fridge freezer, and the Worcester gas combi boiler is neatly concealed within a kitchen cupboard.

A handy downstairs WC with wall-mounted sink could also be reconfigured as a utility room if preferred.

The main reception room features a stunning Montrose gas burner set on a stone hearth with a unique brick-built and stone alcove storage, timber lintel and pillar details, and wooden floors throughout. Natural light pours in through the dual aspect window to the front and a set of double doors leading to the rear garden.

The first-floor accommodation comprises 3 good sized bedrooms and the house bathroom.

Bedroom 1 is a generous double with fitted pine wardrobe, chest of drawers and dressing table area.

Bedroom 2 is a good-size double room with garden views, built-in pine wardrobe and dressing table.

Bedroom 3 is a single bedroom ideal as a child’s room, study, or guest space, with front-facing window and open wooden hanging/shelving space.

The family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath and mains shower over, finished with grey marble-effect Mermaid board and matching floor tiles. It includes a traditional pedestal sink and low-level WC.

Original timber cottage doors and beige carpet flow throughout the upstairs, with additional storage via a loft hatch on the landing.

Externally, the south facing rear garden offers a quiet and secure outdoor space with lawn, patio, and a garden shed. The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces upon the close by parking area– one of which is fitted with an EV charging point.

Communal charges TBC £x.
