Ivy Cottage Main Street, Elvington, York

If you are looking for a period property that has both character and charm, then Ivy Cottage will surely appeal. The current vendors have spent a lot of time and effort completely transforming this two bedroom cottage, fitting it out to an extremely high specification. The property provides nicely proportioned accommodation throughout and is ideally suited to first time buyers or someone looking to downsize without having to carry out any work. This really is a wonderful and charming home that can only be fully appreciated on viewing.

Approaching the front door via a path, you will see the wild meadow front garden to the left hand side, with a mature hedge to two sides and a low lying timber fence to the other. Entering the property you find yourself in the living room. Solid wood flooring has been laid, which continues into the dining room and hallway beyond. At the centre of the room is a Mörso log burner with York Stone hearth and exposed brick surround, the perfect addition for the colder winter months. A bay window at the front of the room allows natural light to enter.

The dining room currently accommodates a good sized table and benefits from two built in storage cupboards, one to either side of the room. An alcove at the far end provides the perfect space for the storage of logs. Moving through into the kitchen, you will notice that it is naturally light due to a single glass door and a three pane window. The kitchen itself has been fitted with various storage cupboards, a solid wood worktop that incorporates a Belfast sink and under floor heating. There are a number of integrated appliances including an AEG single oven, fridge/freezer, washing machine, a Neff four ring gas hob, a Bosch slim line dishwasher and under unit lighting. In addition, the boiler has a vSmart connection which means that the heating can be controlled and monitored via a smart phone.

There are two good sized double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and the other with an en-suite w/.c. The family bathroom again has under floor heating and comprises of a bath with a brass rainfall shower head over, hand held shower attachment, w/c, pedestal hand basin, mirrored wall cabinet and a brass heated towel rail.
