3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in York

DESCRIPTION Steeped in history and brimming with character, this enchanting cottage dates back to the late 1600s and has so much more on offer than the curbside view. Located in the heart of the highly sought-after East Yorkshire village of Goodmanham, this rare opportunity, lovingly maintained by the current owners for almost two decades, it's a home that radiates warmth, happiness, and timeless charm – now ready to begin its next chapter.

As you step inside, traditional features immediately catch the eye. Beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls, cottage wooden doors and modern log burners combine beautifully to create a space that feels truly charming. The entrance hall steps up into the heart of the home – a delightful cottage-style kitchen which features the Leisure Rangemaster oven, Belfast sink, breakfast bar seating and solid wood cabinetry all combining together to set the tone for the rest of the property.

From the kitchen, step down into the inviting dining room, where plenty of Sunday roasts have been enjoyed. Known as "Christmas cottage" to family and friends you can imagine the laughter of gatherings past. Exposed stone walls, ceiling beams, window seat and a multi-fuel burner make this a wonderful space for family meals or entertaining guests.

To the other side of the home lies the more formal sitting room, complete with inglenook fireplace, wooden flooring, and the celebrated exposed stonework, settle down for those winter nights in front of the burner. Glass doors from here and the kitchen open into a charming garden room, offering a more relaxed seating area with another log burner – perfect for enjoying panoramic garden views and watching the seasons change, the ground floor also benefits from a utility room and WC.

A modular staircase from the kitchen leads to the first-floor landing, where you'll find access to the stunning upper garden terrace. There are three bedrooms, with the master benefiting from en suite shower room. The luxurious house bathroom is a particular highlight, with a clawfoot roll-top bath, double shower, and a feature wooden beam rumoured to have originated from an old ship – adding an extra touch of history and intrigue.

And that's not all…

Outside has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space.

A real feature of this home is the upper garden terrace, accessed by a spiral staircase, this is the ideal place to enjoy the Yorkshire sunsets with views of countryside and beyond. There are patio areas which provide an excellent spot for summer barbecues and al fresco entertaining. The lawn, bordered by mature shrubs, create a peaceful and private setting, enhanced by a raised pond with a Buddha water feature offering a sense of serenity along with a screened hot tub which provides the perfect place to unwind in the evenings. There is also a summerhouse, currently used as a gym, equipped with electricity and internet, making it equally suitable as a home office or studio.
