Spring Cottage is a charming 2-bedroom house located in Cawton, a village near Ampleforth in North Yorkshire. The property benefits from a good-sized garden and appears to be in excellent condition, well-maintained and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped. The property has character features, including exposed beams. The location is a key strength. While transport links may be limited, the proximity to several well-regarded schools, such as Hovingham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and others within a reasonable driving distance, is a significant advantage for families. The rural setting offers peace and quiet, yet it’s still within reach of local amenities. The plot size of 720.11 sqft is relatively modest but provides ample space for outdoor living, with a well-maintained lawn and patio area. The inclusion of additional outbuildings adds to the property’s appeal. Considering the average price per sqft in the area is £201, and Spring Cottage is listed at £395,000 for 923.01 sqft, the price per sqft is approximately £427. This is significantly higher than the area average. However, given the property’s excellent condition, charming character, and desirable location, the higher price may be justified for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home in a peaceful rural setting. The inclusion of the garden and outbuildings also contributes to the overall value. A comparative market analysis of similar properties in the area would provide a more definitive assessment of the list price’s reasonableness.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
