We are delighted to offer this impressive five-bed period property to the market. Situated in the picturesque village of Wiseton, a small village on the outskirts of Gringley-on-the-Hill and Everton, this characterful cottage lies on a generous plot and – formerly two dwellings – was originally built to house the staff from Wiseton Hall. It has been extended and sympathetically modernised to retain several traditional features throughout. Providing living accommodation of c. 1,894 sq. ft. the property offers plenty of space for modern day-to-day living and – alongside a self-contained one-bed annexe – makes for an excellent family home.

Internally, the property is deceptively spacious. The central reception hall which, with attractive staircase ascending to the first-floor accommodation, leads off to the dining room. Beyond this, there is a downstairs w/c and a utility / boot room. To the other side of the central reception hall is a large sitting room. Both the dining room and the sitting room are well-proportioned, have characterful feature fireplaces with log burners, and offer good storage space. With two and three dual-aspect windows, there is plenty of natural light on offer – perfect for hosting family and friends. Both rooms also give access to the rear of the property where the kitchen-diner almost spans the width of the cottage and is fitted with real wood worksurfaces; a breakfast bar with hidden storage; several integrated appliances; a dishwasher; an American-style fridge freezer; and four dual aspect windows to the side and rear.

A two-tiered landing (with loft-access) provides access to the sleeping accommodation and the two main bathrooms of the house. Three of the five bedrooms retain the original fireplaces whilst all five bedrooms can accommodate at least a double bed in each. Both family bathrooms have been fitted with marble tiling, the first housing a free-standing double-ended oversized bath with shower-over facility, and the second housing an oversized shower enclosure with Jack and Jill washbasins. Bathroom fixtures and fittings are of a good quality throughout the property.

Accessed via a set of French doors, a self-contained annexe benefits from an open-plan kitchen and lounge-diner, a double bedroom and a shower room The kitchen is fully fitted with an oven; a hob; an integrated fridge; a basin; and cupboard units, and is ideal for extended family, teenage living or as guest accommodation. Alternatively, the annexe also has AirBnB and/or a longer-term rental potential, as well as the possibility of conversion to a separate dwelling, subject to the relevant planning permission.

Externally, both the front and the rear of the property have laid to lawn gardens, with wall-mounted outdoor lighting. The front garden is bound by a traditional cottage style white picket fence, a feature which has been maintained in Wiseton since the early 1900s. Accessed via a wooden side gate, the fully enclosed and private garden has gravel borders with container style planting, a central well, and a large multi-level decking area with table and sofa seating, which is perfect for use during the summer months. A log store and bin store flank each side of the annexe, and there is also a large outdoor storage room to house biking, walking and canoeing equipment - ideal for maximising activity on the canal, accessed only a minutes’ walk away.
