Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Great Ouseburn, Mulberry Cottage is a delightful and unique property steeped in history, character, and potential. Dating back as far as 1885 and once part of Lord Knaresborough's estate, this home has only had four owners since it was sold off in 1914—complete with original paperwork to tell its story.
This quirky corner plot offers a rare opportunity to own one of the village’s older cottages, lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years while retaining its original charm. The property comes with a Certificate of Lawful Development and Building Control Notes (2023) to remodel the ground floor, providing options to modernize and create a spacious dining kitchen and downstairs shower room by repurposing the existing double garage. Architectural drawings and layout options are included in the sale.
Inside Mulberry Cottage
Entrance Porch: A welcoming space with room for coats and boots.
Kitchen: Featuring solid oak units, a ceramic hob, built-under electric oven, ceramic sink, and plumbing for a washing machine. A stable door adds rustic charm, and a chimney flue remains in place from previous use hinting at further potential.
Living/Dining Room: A flexible open-plan area with a cozy wood-burning stove for relaxed family evenings.
Cloakroom: Easily accessible via a farmhouse door.
Hallway: Includes a useful understairs cupboard and a bespoke solid oak front door with an elegant canopy.
Bedrooms: Three well-sized rooms, including a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and views over The Seggans—a historic fishing lake that attracts wildlife and adds to the serene outlook.
Bathroom: A traditional three-piece suite with an airing cupboard for added practicality. A previous bathroom configuration provides drainage in the left corner allowing ease to add a shower cubicle.
Outside
The property boasts ample off-street parking and multi-level gravel seating areas, surrounded by a resin and flagstone drive.
Additional features include:
A double garage with roller shutter doors and electricity.
A brick-built utility shed/workshop with power.
A woodstore and a low-maintenance front garden.
Modern Touches
Mulberry Cottage benefits from new UPVC double-glazed windows (fitted 2021), eco-efficient Farho electric heaters, and solar hot water panels, combining period charm with eco-friendly functionality.
A Thriving Community
Great Ouseburn is a vibrant village with a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere. Residents enjoy amenities such as a Village Hall with a play area, a Primary School, a Shop/Post Office, a Church, a Pub, and a Cricket Club. The village is renowned for events like the annual Open Gardens and Beer Festival, as well as its quirky musical group, The Ouseburn Dads.
Mulberry Cottage is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn to its rich heritage, charming quirks, or the opportunity to create your dream space, this property is ready for its next chapter.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the full potential of this exceptional home.
