The Arts and Crafts gardener's cottage was built in 1926, then underwent restoration work and extension by the current owners around 15 years ago.
Now a comfortable cottage with a great deal of character, it has both a terrace and a first-floor balcony as outdoor seating and entertaining areas, with views over the mature and leafy gardens.
An entrance porch precedes the entrance hall with ground floor cloakroom, then there's a large, open plan dining kitchen, with French doors out to a balcony with steps to the terrace, and a living area with a cosy wood burning stove.
There's a separate utility room and a useful ground floor wet room.
In the sitting room is a bespoke oak bookcase which doubles as a concealed doorway through to the snug or study, so two separate reception rooms can easily become one.
Upstairs there is space for a sofa and desk on the first floor landing that is also used as a library with seating area.
The main bedroom has French doors that open to a balcony, and a dressing room, and two further bedrooms and a house bathroom are on the first floor.
Scalby village with its thriving community is around three miles north of Scarborough and borders the North York Moors National Park.
