Full of charm and character, this delightful two bedroom "chocolate box" sandstone cottage occupies a prominent position along the High Street in the ever-popular village of Skelton. Perfectly placed for convenient village living, the property offers easy access to a wide range of local amenities while also being close to the scenic Cleveland Way and beautiful surrounding countryside.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, the cottage presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a project to create a truly special home. Requiring full modernisation throughout, it provides a blank canvas while retaining a wealth of original features, including attractive dressed sandstone walls, exposed beams in selected rooms, and traditional cottage-style gardens.
To the rear, the property benefits from a private courtyard garden and a generous detached workshop, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses... whether as storage, a hobby space, or ideal man-shed.
Skelton itself is a well-served and welcoming village, offering a variety of everyday amenities including schools, independent shops, and essential services. It also enjoys excellent access to the nearby coastal town of Saltburn, the market town of Guisborough, and the stunning landscapes of the North Yorkshire Moors
