IF you like charm, character and beautiful surroundings, you might just have found your perfect property.

This lovely cottage in Main Street, Askham Richard, is a four-bedroom house and modernised former chapel, with views of the village green.

Built around 1911, Tudor Cottage stands well back from the road in the heart of Askham Richard.

Upon entering, you walk through the entrance hall to a high quality oak- fitted dining kitchen with a deep brick chimney breast, an oil-fired Aga and integrated appliances.

There are views over the rear garden in the dining room, a lounge with a brick fireplace and cast iron stove and a family room with French doors to the rear terrace.

The master bedroom, on the first floor, overlooks the village green and boasts an en-suite bathroom with antique-style taps, a bath with wooden panelling and a shower head.

There are three more bedrooms, as well as a house bathroom with a Jacuzzi-style airflow bath.

The former Methodist chapel, to the side of the house, has been tastefully modernised for its present use as a games room and features a large fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, exposed timbers, spotlights and a full-height window light to one side.

Outside, the gardens lie to the rear and are approached from the side of the house through a wrought iron gate.

There is a lawned area, a raised bed with plants and shrubs, an ornamental pond and a wooden framed gazebo with suspended swing seat.

To the front of the chapel, there is a brick set terrace and barbecue. The terracotta tiled area too makes a lovely summer seating area.

There is also a double garage with lighting, power and water.

Tudor Cottage is priced at £499,950. Contact Naish.
