A bus service operates throughout the day to the nearby town of Harrogate, City of Ripon and Leeds via Harrogate. For the commuter, the property is well situated close to the A61, which provides good connections to the A1(M), A59 and further afield. 7 Main Street is a lovely Grade II listed terraced cottage believed to date from the early to mid 19th Century, forming part of the estate village for Sir William Amcotts Ingilby, built very much in Gothic style with coursed squared gritstone and a grey slate roof. The cottage offers well proportioned accommodation arranged over 2 floors including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen and a walk in utility room/pantry. On the first floor is a landing, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. To the rear of the cottage is a courtyard which adjoins the house itself with an outbuilding and another building housing an old WC. Beyond is a lovely lawned garden which runs all the way down to Orchard Lane. At the end of the garden is a further good sized outbuilding providing useful storage.
