Fisherman's Cottage has gardens down to a picturesque stretch of the River Derwent, but from its spacious lounge or its lawn and patio, you can also see among surrounding green fields, the ruins of Ayton Castle.
It's an idyllic location on the fringe of a village that has quite a range of amenities, while being only four miles from Scarborough.
The attractive stone and pantile cottage is roomy inside, particularly in its lounge with its huge picture window and patio doors out to a stone flagged terrace.
A bright farmhouse style kitchen has bespoke units and integrated appliances, and there’s a good size dining room, while from the entrance hall, that again, has plenty of space, is a cloakroom and a utility area.
From the first floor master bedroom, with en suite bathroom, are doors to a roof terrace looking over the peaceful vista of river, ruin and countryside.
Three further bedrooms are all doubles and there's a main shower room.
The showpiece gardens are extensive with terraced seating areas and a large and long lawn fronting the Derwent. A wild flower garden and vegetable plot add to the charms.
With a private driveway, this home is just a few minutes' walk from the village centre. It comes with a detached garage, a studio and a store room, and plenty of parking.
Fisherman's Cottage, East Ayton, Scarborough, is for sale priced £675,000.
