Staintondale, Scarborough

Bridge Cottage is the quintessential English country cottage, privately set in land and grounds of over 1.7 acres and occupying a charming position with the Hayburn Beck weaving along its southern boundary. Originally an 19th Century tanner’s cottage with a water wheel to its side, the stone built cottage is, unusually, not listed and offers a huge amount of potential for improvement. Bridge Cottage has been in the same hands for around 60 years and has superb lifestyle potential with land and grounds of 1.788 acres in total, absolutely ideal for those buyers looking for their own version of the Good Life. Built from dressed stone the cottage provides 900 square feet of characterful accommodation which in brief comprises, entrance hall, shower room, breakfast kitchen with adjoining pantry, living room and a large front facing sitting room. At the rear is a further hallway and bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two which are generously proportioned and have an attractive aspect looking across the garden and grounds. Bridge Cottage is situated well off the roadside, down a lengthy driveway. The grounds are a delight having been landscaped by the owners to create a wonderfully varied and interesting space. Combining a pretty cottage style lawned area to the front, with a productive soft fruit garden and orchard, grass paddock ideal for grazing and a tract of mature woodland with wild garden, this is a garden which has something to offer to every purchaser.

The property is situated within Staintondale, close to Heritage Coastline, the Hayburn Wyke and Cloughton Wyke, where the opportunity for outdoor activities are endless. Bridge Cottage lies only 2.5 miles from the village of Cloughton.  Cloughton is a busy village some three miles north of the seaside town of Scarborough and is well-served with two public houses and church. All other amenities can be found close by in Scarborough, only 6 miles distant.
