It’s a highly unusual house in a unique location – and it is now on the market for £400K.
This ‘cruciform cottage’ is found on the edge of Knavesmire in York. It gets that name as the property is set out in the form of a cross.
The two bedroom house on Mount Vale is like nothing else in the city.
It is on the market with Ashtons Estate Agents. They say: “A most unique Georgian Grade II listed detached cruciform cottage constructed in the mid 1800s having been the former stock keeper’s cottage for York Knavesmire.
“The property sits in a large plot with gardens to four sides and boasts an attractive gabled construction retaining a wealth of original features.
“The rear and side of the property overlooks the expanse of York Knavesmire which is an incredible outlook given the proximity to the city centre and railway station.”
They have created this video to show the cottage in its unusual location.
The property location
It is a ‘doer-upper’. Ashtons says: “The property is in need of a scheme of modernisation and refurbishment. This gives the successful purchaser the opportunity to create a most individual home.”
And it will never be an Airbnb, as the estate agents add: “The property is sold with a user clause restricting to private/main residence – ie, can not be used as a holiday let.”
