A staircase rises to a mezzanine floor housing the library, a delightful room with a vaulted ceiling and full-height windows giving glorious views to the Moors. Flanking the drawing room is a snug and TV room.

Gardens, Grounds And Driveway - Accessed via wrought iron remote-controlled gates, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway that passes a lake and then splits, giving access to the cottage, and continuing to the main parking and turning area behind the house, as well as to the yard and outbuildings. The lake is beautifully landscaped, planted with aquatic plants, irises and rushes and with its own island connected by a bridge.

The parterre garden with its summer house connects to the principal rooms of the house and enjoys a southerly aspect with views to the Yorkshire Wolds. This formal outside space is elegantly designed and abundantly planted with ornamental trees, shrubs and colourful perennials; there is a stone flagged terrace and the whole is enclosed by clipped hornbeam hedging. Also at the front of the house is a wildflower area as well as a woodland copse with grass walkways meandering between the trees. To the rear lies the kitchen garden, enclosed and rabbit-proofed with raised beds stocked with vegetables and soft fruit. Alongside is a garden shed, poly tunnel and Cedar greenhouse as well as a productive orchard with varieties of apple, pear and plum.

The land is ring-fenced, surrounding the house and outbuildings. It is suitable for grazing and equestrian with three enclosed paddocks each with a water supply and bounded by post & rail and post & wire fencing, bordered by mature hedgerows. To the east of the house is a long, broad stretch of flat grassland extending over 500 metres in length. A verdant green walkway marks the eastern boundary and follows the route of the old railway line; it is flanked by trees and meadow grasses with seating areas at either end, positioned to enjoy the view.
