Inside this Grade ll-listed, surprisingly spacious, idyllic stone cottage

The Grade II listed cruck-framed Yorkshire Longhouse dates back to 1726, and has been extended to create a substantial family home filled with period charm and character.

Two ground floor reception rooms feature fireplaces with log burners, and are linked by glazed doors. There is still the original York stone flagged floor in the older part of the cottage.

A beamed kitchen with fitted cabinets and a central island unit has an ESSE cooker, and the advantage of an adjoining utility room.

In the newer part of the cottage is a front entrance porch, and a study with a second staircase up to the bedrooms on the first floor.

Four first floor bedrooms comprise three doubles and a single, with two bathrooms containing both bath and shower. One bedroom has a chimney breast feature, and others have exposed ceiling beams.

The cottage has oil central heating and timber double-glazing throughout.

Landscaped gardens include a terrace, and a log cabin is tucked away among trees at the bottom of the garden.

For anyone with horses or other livestock to consider, there is a ring-fenced grazing paddock of almost four acres, with stables that have both a water supply and electricity.

There is also a detached double garage.

The private driveway is at the end of a private road shared with just two other properties in this York Moors National Park location. Despite its stunning rural setting, the cottage is just under five miles from Whitby.

Ramsdale Cottage, Fylingdales, is for sale at a price of £675,000, with Hope and Braim Estate Agents, Whitby, tel. 01947 601301.
