Maltongate, Thornton-le-Dale, Pickering, North Yorkshire, YO18

Chestnut View is located on the southern fringe of Thornton Le Dale, overlooking the stream that winds its way through this picturesque village. In recent years the property has undergone an extensive programme of renovation works, including a new heating system, full re-wiring, and double-glazed sash windows. By cleverly reconfiguring the existing rooms and incorporating converted outbuildings, the current owners have created a deceptively spacious and practical family home. Thoughtfully designed with imaginative architectural features to ensure plenty of natural light, the property’s heritage has been beautifully restored whilst adding stylish contemporary touches.

The accommodation is deceptively spacious with generously proportioned rooms and impressive attention to detail. The ground floor living area is largely open plan, featuring a hand-built kitchen with two island units, integrated induction hobs and electric ovens, and plenty of thoughtfully designed storage space, alongside a cosy living area with an original fireplace. There is a second reception room, a useful utility room and a wc. The first and second floors comprise 5/6 double bedrooms and a studio/ gym/office; the master bedroom benefitting from an en suite shower room, the remaining served by a family bathroom and additional wc on the second floor.

The rear garden has been superbly levelled and landscaped, accesses from both the ground and first floors. Two lawned areas bordered by resin bound gavel pathways and seating terraces, and a storage shed, all enclosed by original stone walls. The far end of the garden leads to the driveway, providing off-street parking for 2-3 vehicles and an electric charging point, accessed via a side street.

Thornton le Dale is long recognised as one of Yorkshire’s prettiest villages, lying on the southern fringe of the North Yorkshire Moors. Lovely to live in as well as to look at, it is a sufficient size to have a thriving community and some of the best village facilities in the locality including a wide variety of shops, eateries and a well-regarded primary school. There are high performing secondary schools in the surrounding area and good access to the popular town of Pickering, Malton and Kirkybmoorside. The coast is also close by, and York is just 26 miles away.
