High Street, TS12

Egg Cup Farm is a gorgeous traditional Yorkshire country cottage with a host of charm and character. The property is tucked away in a quiet position on the edge of the idyllic North Yorkshire village of Skelton and offers three bedroom accommodation (with the option of the current home-office being an additional fourth bedroom) - all enjoying mature wraparound private gardens.

This fabulous former Farmhouse has recently undergone a major renovation throughout bringing the property up to modern day living, yet sympathetically retaining many popular, traditional Period features.

Having been well cared for since purchasing, the current owners have injected many necessary modern day improvements which include; internal walls taken back, fully damp proof courses, fully tanked and insulated using Kingspan, fully re-plastered walls, replacement of some traditional beams to ceilings - offering that much needed 'cottage' feel, the property has also been re-plumbed, re-wired, new double glazed windows to the front elevation and has had a beautiful farmhouse style cream kitchen with central island installed - with the fantastic addition of an open plan Inglenook fireplace using a dual facing 10kw cast iron stove (accessed from both the kitchen and Living Room). There are two most useful loft spaces offering additional storage above the kitchen/diner and first floor bedrooms.

Centrally located on Skelton High Street, Egg Cup Farm has recently undergone extensive and sympathetic renovation, and now provides exceptional family accommodation, set in a generous plot with private driveway access and parking for several vehicles.

A pathway from the front gate approaches the attractive entrance which opens into the welcoming sitting room. There are two further reception rooms either side of the living room - one currently used as a home office (which was an original bedroom when built). Both rooms have a wonderful atmosphere of tradition and warmth, characterised by exposed wooden ceiling beams and the living room offers an elegant Inglewood fireplace with a double sided 10kw cast iron multi-fuel stove which can be loaded from both the living room and kitchen area. A rear door from the living room leads to the rear hallway and staircase to the first floor Bedrooms and Bathroom. There is also an adjacent door next to the fireplace which leads to the country style kitchen with a range of wooden cabinetry, practical tiled flooring and a range oven along with several appliances. The fireplace and dual aspect stove can be accessed & heats nicely this vast room and the kitchen is further served by an adjoining open plan Dining Room and useful Cloakroom/wc with access to the rear hallway, courtyard, storage and pathways. Stairs lead up from the rear hall then branch left and right to all of the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is an expansive double with a lovely elevated aspect and excellent fitted storage. There are two further bedrooms which are also served by a family Bathroom suite with exposed sandstone feature walls, bath and separate double shower cubicle.

Externally Egg Cup Farm is situated in a quiet location on the edge of a small village with beautiful countryside to two sides. Pleasant and private gardens wrap around the cottage, with most of the gardens sitting to the west and north. There are mature plantings, shrubs and trees with paved footpaths leading around the gardens. Tucked in the top corner of the garden is a timber decked patio and bar-be-que area to relax in peace and tranquility.
