Church Cottage, Scrayingham – A Charming Detached Period Home on a Generous 1/3 Acre Plot

Nestled within the idyllic rural village of Scrayingham, Church Cottage is a beautifully presented detached period home dating back to the 1800s. This charming family residence has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, benefitting from a comprehensive programme of upgrades including a new roof, double-glazed windows, full electrical rewire, modern heating system and pressurised water system – blending characterful heritage with modern comfort.

Set within an enviable plot of approximately one third of an acre, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with no neighbouring properties to the rear, offering a rare degree of privacy within this sought-after village location.

The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises an inviting entrance leading to a spacious country-style breakfast kitchen with dining area, complete with bi-fold doors opening onto the rear garden – creating a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining. A practical utility room with guest WC is located off the kitchen. The ground floor further benefits from a formal dining room with log-burning stove and garden access, a separate study ideal for home working, and a generous open sitting/family room featuring a second log burner and dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. A ground floor bathroom completes the layout.

To the first floor, the property offers five well-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation well suited to modern family life.

Externally, the enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and shrub borders, creating a tranquil outdoor space. A paved patio area provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, while several sheds with power offer useful storage or workshop potential. Side access leads to the front of the property, where a driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
