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 additional 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.
