<p>Hilltop Cottage is extremely well situated in the small rural village of Thrintoft. It stands exceptionally well near the open countryside and within easy reach of the popular and thriving market towns of Northallerton, Bedale and Richmond. It is also conveniently located in relation to the A1 Interchanges at Leeming Bar and Catterick, thereby bringing Teesside, Tyneside, Leeds and York within reasonable commuting distance.</p><p>Hilltop is an 1880s brick-built, detached two bedroom cottage offering plenty of potential for buyers looking to update and make a property their own. The house requires refurbishment throughout and provides a great blank canvas.</p><p>The accommodation is entered via the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units and offers ample space for a dining table. Leading through to the sitting room, there is a useful understairs cupboard that provides access down to the cellar; however, this is currently blocked off with no access. There is also additional alcove space suitable for storage.</p><p>The sitting room benefits from dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. The focal point is an electric fire set within an exposed stone surround, with a fireplace and working chimney behind, offering the potential to reinstate a traditional fire.</p><p>To the first floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which includes a feature fireplace. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, comprising a WC, shower, and wash basin.</p><p>Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed garden, mainly laid to lawn, with a patio area ideal for outdoor seating. There is also a useful coal shed and a former stable, offering additional storage or potential for alternative uses (subject to the necessary consents). The property further benefits from off-road parking for one vehicle.</p><p>Hilltop presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful cottage in need of updating, perfect for those looking to put their own stamp on a home. Viewing is strongly recommended.</p>
