Inside updated cottage with log burner, open fire, and modern kitchen diner

With open countryside views and a 'tucked away' location in a quiet village a couple of miles from the coast, this semi-detached cottage is deceptively spacious.

Waterworks Cottage lies at the end of a country lane and has lawned gardens that border open fields.

Improved and updated over five years by its current owners, it blends period charm with more modern comforts and conveniences.

The stylish interior includes an entrance hall with a staircase up and doors to two reception rooms.

Within a main, dual aspect sitting room is a cosy wood-burning stove, while the snug, with its open fire, offers a more intimate setting.

There's a modern kitchen with diner that has a useful utility room and pantry cupboard, while double doors open to a sun room that catches the late afternoon sun and looks over the garden.

Completing the ground level is a rear entrance hall and a wc.

Four bedrooms lead off a central first floor landing, along with a modern house bathroom and a separate shower room that has recently been upgraded.

There is gas central heating throughout the property, with a recently installed combination boiler, along with double glazing.

​Wrap-around lawned gardens w​ith filled borders ​include a pav​ed patio ​that's ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A ​separate garage block​ has a staircase leading​ up to a boarded lof​t or room​ that would make a great home office, hobby room or alternative.

Irton is close to the village of Seamer with its wide range of services and amenities, and has regular bus routes into nearby Scarborough.

​It has a lovely coast and country location with many scenic walks to be enjoyed all around the area.​

Waterworks Cottage, Main Street, Irton, Scarborough, North Yorkshire​ is for sale at a price of £430,000, with Silver Tree Estate Agents, Scarborough, tel. 01723 261500​.
