About
A charming and characterful village cottage, beautifully blending period features with modern styling, positioned within the heart of Strensall and offered with the rare benefit of a garage and off-street parking.
Tucked away just off The Village, Forge Cottage is an attractive home that effortlessly combines the warmth and charm of a traditional cottage with the practicality expected for modern living.
Exposed beams, original-style timber doors and a feature fireplace create an abundance of character throughout, whilst thoughtful updates have enhanced the property without compromising its heritage.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming sitting room, a particularly cosy space centred around a striking brick fireplace incorporating a newly installed log-burning stove, complemented by exposed ceiling beams and contemporary décor.
The kitchen has been tastefully updated with shaker-style units, timber-effect work surfaces, newly tiled flooring and integrated cooking appliances, making excellent use of the available space.
To the first floor, the generous double bedroom continues the cottage feel, featuring exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and plenty of natural light.
The stylish house bathroom has been recently modernised and comprises a contemporary white suite with bath and shower over.
Externally, the property enjoys the valuable addition of a detached garage and off-street parking, a highly sought-after feature for homes of this style and location.
Strensall remains one of York's most desirable villages, offering an excellent range of amenities including independent shops, cafés, pubs, a supermarket and highly regarded primary school.
The village is surrounded by attractive countryside and enjoys easy access to York city centre, Monks Cross, Vangarde Shopping Park and the outer ring road, making it ideal for both commuters and those seeking a village lifestyle.
A beautifully presented cottage full of charm, character and convenience in an exceptional village setting.
