9 Church Lane, Elvington, York

Located in the highly desirable village of Elvington, just off the main street, is this fantastic two bedroom period cottage. The property is in need of updating throughout but provides the perfect opportunity for someone looking for a project.

Walking through the timber gate towards the front door, you will notice that the front garden has been designed to be low maintenance but could easily be altered to incorporate greenery and flowers to add some colour. On entering the living room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the timber beams on the ceiling and the cast iron fire place at the centre, two lovely features.

Beyond is the dining area, again with exposed beams and with stairs leading up to the first floor. The kitchen has a number of wall and base units for storage, stainless steel sink with drainer and freestanding electric cooker. There is a door at the rear that opens to the large courtyard. A bathroom with bath, shower, w/c and hand basin completes the ground floor. To the first floor there are two good size double bedrooms, one with a feature fire place.

Externally, the utility room can be accessed via the sun room through a sliding glass door. There are two worktops, wall units for storage, Velux window and a stainless steel sink with drainer. In addition, there are two further brick stores, these could be converted along with the utility room to expand the ground floor accommodation of the main house or as a separate studio/annex, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

Unlike many of the properties on this street, this one has its own garage, which again requires work but benefits from a store room above with a separate access. There is a large detached garden with raised vegetable beds, patio seating area, mature trees and shrubs.

Opportunities like this rarely come to the market so an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid missing out.
