Sumac Cottage, Harmby, Leyburn, North Yorkshire

Sumac Cottage is a detached stone-built house which offers spacious accommodation over two floors. The property does need some updating throughout yet offers flexible accommodation which a buyer could put their own stamp on to create their perfect family home. The property benefits from being fully double glazed and having oil fired central heating. The property further benefits from a total of 1.8 acres approx. of garden and land suiting a number of equestrian, lifestyle or environmentalist buyers.

To the ground floor, there is a large living room with an oak staircase leading up to the first floor. The living room features bespoke shelving and usefully, there is a separate cloakroom just off this room. Leading through there is a second sitting room or dining room which has a multi fuel stove set within a stone surround. The kitchen completes the ground floor and features a good range of base units with an oil fired Esse cooker which is currently not running, built in electric hob and freestanding hob/oven. As well as space for appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine and a fridge freezer. There is also ample space for a dining table and a stable door to the front.

To the first floor there is a large galleried landing with bespoke shelving which works well as a home office or library but it could become a bedroom if required. There are three bedrooms each of which enjoys excellent views towards Middleham. The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and the second bedroom has access to the roof terrace. There is also house bathroom completing the first floor.

Externally the property is complemented by ample off road parking, garage, stabling and stone built stores with roof terrace above. From the terrace the stunning views towards Penhill can be enjoyed. The gardens are extensive and mostly to the side of the property. There is a mix of fruit and nut trees and whilst it is currently overgrown, it offers a buyer unique opportunity to landscape the gardens further. Beyond the garden is the paddock which is approximately 1.6 acres and enclosed by walled boundaries. The land will appeal to those with equine interests but also to those who may be interested in keeping sheep or chickens. If not required, it may also generate income if let to neighbouring farmers.

Sumac Cottage would make a wonderful family home or equestrian property and viewing is advised.
