AFTER a fabulous summer, September is also shaping up to be a lovely month to take us into the autumn.

Marketed by Peter Illingworth for offers between £148,000 and £168,000, the appropriately- named September Cottage, situated in the small, rural village of Great Habton, near Malton, is a pretty, stone-built cottage, which has been thoroughly renovated with stylish, contemporary interiors and tasteful décor.

The entrance lobby contains stairs which lead to the first floor, and links the downstairs accommodation, leading to both the dining kitchen and living room.

The contemporary kitchen contains a range of cream base units with timber block worktop and matching wall cupboards with under-cupboard lighting. There’s a Belfast sink with mixer tap, plus appliances including a builtin Sterling electric oven and Hotpoint four-ring halogen hob with extractor hood over. There’s also plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine and space for a fridge freezer.

Recessed lighting adds to the room’s contemporary feel. Meanwhile, an under-stairs storage area contains a fitted cupboard housing a Viesmann LPG central heating boiler, and there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.

The sitting room offers traditional features including a window seat and beamed ceiling, plus modern touches such as engineered oak flooring, while a brick chimney breast wall with Mors wood-burning stove sat on black polished granite hearth offers an attractive focal point in the room.

The first-floor landing is light and airy with windows at the front and back plus a window seat, while the first bedroom offers built-in wardrobes with mirrored panels and a matching dressing table and tall-boy unit, and the second bedroom has a Velux window and access to the loft.

The bathroom is one of the feature rooms in the house with a contemporary white suite comprising toilet with concealed cistern and ceramic bowl with mixer tap sat on a counter, Whirlpool bath with Creda electric shower over and glazed screen. There’s also a linen cupboard, timber wainscoting, fitted storage cupboards and a Velux window.

The pleasant exterior opens into a drive at the front, where there is parking for two vehicles on the street frontage and right of way over drive to the front door. There’s a newlybuilt timber storage locker at the back with a canopy over the bottled gas and bin store area.

“During our time at September Cottage, one of the greatest things has been the friendliness of the village and the brilliant neighbours,” said the vendors.

“We have loved coming home after a busy day at work and relaxing in front of the wood burner, and in the summer the quick walk down to the fantastic pub for a bite to eat.”

There’s an open viewing of September Cottage on Sunday, from 2pm to 4pm. For further information, phone Peter Illingworth on 01653 694097 or email Malton@peterillingworth.co.uk
