A charming detached cottage with spectacular views of Rievaulx Abbey. An extremely rare opportunity, just 3 miles from Helmsley

Situated in the tranquil valley of the River Rye, the village of Rievaulx is located in what was once the inner court of its eponymous abbey, one of the most powerful Cistercian Abbeys of England. The impressive ruins now stand proudly in the centre of this picturesque village, giving a dramatic backdrop to the pretty stone houses that form its small community.

Very few of these houses are privately owned, the majority having been in the ownership of one local estate for many years. The sale of Rose Cottage therefore presents an extremely exclusive opportunity, particularly so given its prime position within the village and facing directly onto the Abbey. The property as it stands provides around 1000 square feet of accommodation over 2 floors, with great potential for renovation and improvement. Every room boasts fabulous views of the Abbey and surrounding countryside, perfectly designed to make the most of this special setting. Planning permission has been granted for a ground floor side extension, details of which are available on request.

Rose Cottage sits fairly centrally in its generous plot, set back from the lane behind mature hedging. The lawned garden has been well-tended, interspersed with planted beds and bordered by low level stone walls. There is a stone outbuilding and a spacious area to create a driveway, with gated access from the lane.

Rievaulx lies just 3 miles from Helmsley. a highly desirable market town on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors with excellent local facilities including a wide range of shops, a medical centre, a library and a primary school. Ampleforth College and Ryedale Secondary School are also close by. With some of the most beautiful countryside on the doorstep, a wide range of local restaurants and public houses to enjoy and the coast also within easy travelling distance, the location is hard to beat.

Please note: the property is subject to a covenant which prohibits the use as a holiday let.
Proceedable buyers only please.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. A bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
