Description

West End lies just off the main Market Place in Kirkbymoorside and is a street of mainly traditional town houses and small cottages with gardens to the rear. It lies within both the Conservation and Article 4 Areas.

No. 70 West End comprises an inner terrace stone and pantile cottage having great character both inside and out. Features include beamed ceilings, Yorkshire sliding sash windows, an open fire and witching post in the sitting room, window seats, interior doors made from old church floorboards and exposed pitch pine floorboards upstairs. Where and when required, repairs have been carried out using both modern and traditional methods with materials conducive to properties of this period along with eco-friendly clay paint on the walls, all in muted, heritage tones to complement the exposed woodwork. Heating is via a mains gas central heating boiler installed 7 years ago and it is serviced annually.

The quintessentially English cottage garden faces south/west and is packed with an array of plants, climbers and small shrubs and has been gardened organically with wildlife in mind. The pond is well stocked with native pond plants and the rambling rose over the front door (called Seagull) comes into its own during late Spring/Summer months.

What was once the old wash house at the top of the garden has been repointed in lime mortar and now provides valuable storage/workshop space with electricity connected. There is also a useful log/coal store by the back door.

In summary, a much loved first home for the Vendor who is reluctantly moving on but hopeful that the next owner of this delightful cottage will cherish it just as much as they have.
