A substantial family home, full of character, nestled just off the Market Square of this picturesque Yorkshire town. In need of a little tender loving care to realise its full potential, come inside and explore the possibilities...
Thorpe Lea sits on the edge of open countryside on the outskirts of the small town of Masham, on a quiet road that meanders alongside the River Ure through the villages of Grewelthorpe and Kirkby Malzeard towards historic RIpon.
This stone-built home has a solid feel, with thick walls and sturdy timberwork throughout. Now in need of some updating, this property has the potential to be a fabulous family home, with good room sizes, three bedrooms, and two annexe buildings that offer great scope for a home office, studio workshop or additional bedroom space.
New owners will undoubtedly want to renovate to their own taste, but the house is a very practical proposition in its current state, with a fitted kitchen with built-in cooking facilities, functional bathroom, and plenty of cupboard space, with additional storage in the large integral garage.
Thorpe Lea represents a great opportunity to create your perfect family home in a beautiful and convenient country town location. Homes of this quality and character are rare and not to be missed, call today to arrange your appointment to view.
