3 Bedroom Terraced Cottage, Pinfold Cottage, Chestnut Farm, Moor End, Acaster Malbis

Open viewing Saturday 20th September – please call for your appointment to view

A unique opportunity to own a delightful end of terrace cottage in a welcoming community within the highly regarded village of Acaster Malbis, just outside of the history City of York. Three bedrooms, open plan living and ground floor WC, private south facing rear gardens, allocated parking and EV point. Offered for sale with no onward chain.  

What makes this home truly special is its setting. Tucked away within the charming Chestnut Farm development, this brick-built three-bedroom end cottage forms part of a unique conversion of the former farmstead, once used as holiday cottages. Nestled among a traditional farmhouse and luxury modern lodges, it offers characterful yet practical accommodation perfectly suited to couples, families, or downsizers alike.

Unlike the neighbouring over-45s luxury lodges, this property is entirely freehold with no age restrictions – providing the opportunity for buyers of all ages to enjoy a countryside lifestyle in a secure and welcoming environment.

Surrounded by open countryside, with riverside walks and a well-regarded local pub nearby, Chestnut Farm occupies a lovely position on the edge of Acaster Malbis, a postcard-pretty village just outside York. Blending rural charm with city convenience, this inviting home is offered with no onward chain.

Step inside through a traditional cottage-style door and into a welcoming hallway with stone flooring, which continues into a bespoke, hand-fitted stripped pine kitchen. Fitted with granite worktops, the kitchen also features a stainless-steel sink below a window with garden views, space for appliances, and a discreetly housed Worcester, gas fired, combi boiler.

Such is the size of this cottage, the ground floor also includes a cloakroom/WC with wall-mounted sink—offering scope for conversion to a utility room if desired.

At the heart of the home, the main living room exudes warmth and character, with timber flooring, exposed beams and a Montrose gas burner set within a stone hearth. Natural light fills the space through front and rear windows, with double doors opening onto the enclosed garden.

Upstairs, the property offers three well-sized bedrooms and a house bathroom. The principal bedroom features built-in pine wardrobes and matching dressing furniture. A second double bedroom enjoys garden views and similar storage, while the third is a good size single room.

The bathroom is finished with marble-effect Mermaid board, a traditional pedestal basin, low-level WC, and bath with mains shower over. Timber cottage doors and neutral décor carry through the first floor, with access to loft storage via the landing.

Externally, the south facing rear garden offers a quiet and secure outdoor space with lawn, patio, and a garden shed. Side access leads to the front of the property, and the secure front garden with gated access. The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces upon the close by parking area– one of which is fitted with an EV charging point.

Communal charges TBC £x.
