Charming cottage with a blend of period features and contemporary style

Manning Stainton are proud to offer to the market, chain free, this magnificent and superbly appointed three bedroomed, two bathroom period style cottage, situated in the heart of the much sought-after village of Aberford.

Steeped in history, the property was built around 1640 and was formerly one of many coaching inns within the village. The property also acted as a courthouse and the "Riot Act" was once famously read to the village, from the front steps of the property, by the Chief Constable of Leeds during an election day disturbance!

Today, the property is offered in immaculate condition, having been beautifully enhanced by the current owners, who have retained many of the character features, with a blend of contemporary style, fixtures and fittings.
