Woodbine Cottage is a fabulous four bedroom home with a generous garden, offering huge potential. In addition to the generous house there is a garage block which offers scope for further development.
Location
East Ayton is a rural village on the fringes of the North York Moors National Park close to Scarborough (c.5 miles) on the banks of The River Derwent. There is a petrol station with a Spar and Post Office in the village and a primary school ("Good" Ofsted 2024). The nearest pub is a short walk across The Derwent in West Ayton.
Scarborough has a long history, with signs of both Viking and Roman occupation. It became a "spa town" in the 17th century and with the birth of the railways grew into a popular destination for holiday makers. In addition to supermarkets there are good local shops and restaurants. The train station provides regular services across the country to Manchester. As well as primary and secondary schools it is home to Scarborough College, a private school that takes children from the age of three through to A Levels.
The House and Garden
Woodbine Cottage is a substantial village house with a significant outbuilding that includes the garage, that could be converted to a number of alternative uses subject to any necessary consents. The accommodation offers extensive reception rooms that lend themselves to entertaining and family life. The dining room has exposed beams and a fireplace and is well located for the kitchen. The sitting room is an attractive room full of character with a timber beam and fire place, overlooking the garden; adjacent is the splendid garden room that opens onto a generous terrace. There is also a useful study.
Currently the house has two ground floor bedrooms sharing a wet room, and two further first floor bedrooms. The master is located on the first floor and has a dressing area overlooking the garden, built in cupboards and an en suite bathroom.
The garden has a large paved terrace and long lawn down to The Derwent. There is a summer house tucked away by the river that could be replaced or refurbished.
