Pennant, West End, York, YO62 4DU

A beautifully renovated stone-built cottage in a sought-after location, providing tastefully appointed three-bedroom accommodation together with a garage, off-street parking & extensive gardens of approximately 0.27 acres with far reaching views.

Pennant occupies an almost hidden position within Ampleforth, being tucked away off West End, yet close to the centre of the village.

Within the last few years, this stone-built cottage has been thoroughly renovated resulting in a highly appealing family home with a first-rate garden, garage, parking and lovely views.

The beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to more than 1,200sq.ft.

In brief, it comprises entrance hall/boot room, shower room, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with log burner and a stylish range of kitchen cabinets, and a cosy sitting room with further log burner.

To the first floor there are three good-sized bedrooms and an updated house bathroom, which lead off a spacious landing area.

The cottage benefits from double-glazing and electric heating via heritage style radiators, plus underfloor heating.

The property is approached via a driveway which is shared with the adjoining cottage and leads to an open-fronted single garage with space to park in front.

The main event, however, lies to the rear of the cottage, where there is a huge, south-facing garden.

The current owners have purchased additional land, to create a fantastic garden space, bringing the total site area to approximately 0.27 acres.

It has been attractively landscaped, featuring paved and gravelled seating areas, extensive lawns, well-stocked shrub borders, raised beds, a variety of trees and timber garden shed.

At the far end, the gardens adjoin open paddock land, across which there are lovely, far-reaching views.

Adjoining the back of the house are a series of outbuildings, one of which has been converted to provide a useful home office.

Beyond, there is a garden room/conservatory, making for an ideal space to enjoy the surroundings. Ampleforth is one of North Yorkshire’s best-loved villages.

Nestled into a hillside, it sits within particularly attractive countryside between the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village features an attractive mix of period, stone houses and benefits from a surprising number of amenities including village shop and post office, two good pubs, a coffee shop, Doctor’s surgery, a primary school and Ampleforth College.

The Georgian market town of Helmsley is only 4 miles away and benefits from a wide range of facilities.

The other three Ryedale market towns are all within an easy drive and the City of York is some 19 miles south.
