Bay Tree House, Pasture Lane, Hovingham

Outstanding newbuild house within a sought after Howardian Hills village, with good facilities.

Bay Tree House follows a style of vernacular architecture that is popular in this lovely old Estate village; it has been constructed in honey-coloured reclaimed stone from Dringstone Quarry on the North York Moors and has a pantile roof with a rustic ‘aged’ finish. This is a handsome, detached house finished to the very highest specification inside and out, and ready for immediate occupation. It sits within its part-walled garden enjoying a fine view towards the Saxon tower of All Saints Church, and a traditional outbuilding in the garden adds further character and scope. Bay Tree House is on Pasture Lane within comfortable strolling distance of the many amenities that the village has to offer.
