The Avenue, Sleights, Whitby, North Yorkshire

Dating from 1912, Kamsahd is a handsome stone-clad family home arranged over three floors and offering almost 4,200 sq. ft of light-filled accommodation with high ceilings and large windows. The current owners have sensitively refurbished the property throughout during their 20 year tenure, including rewiring and more recently the addition of a boiler. The property is configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space but could be used for multi-generational living or for those looking for studio or additional office space.

The ground floor accommodation flows from an entrance porch with Victorian tiles and welcoming wooden-floored through the reception hall with a rear porch with garden access. It briefly comprises generous sitting and dining rooms, both with large bay windows and feature fireplaces, the former with a log effect gas fire, a dual aspect music room with large rear aspect bay window and a spacious wooden-floored breakfast kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room features a range of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, and modern integrated appliances and an Aga, while the breakfast room includes an Aga, bespoke storage, and space for a sizeable table. A door from the kitchen gives access to an inner hall with a cloakroom/shower room and a neighbouring 37 ft split-level fitted utility room and gym/boot room with doors to front and rear aspects.

On the first floor a generous split level landing with a glazed sliding door to an enclosed 23 ft balcony gives access to a principal bedroom with large bay window and useful sink, three further double bedrooms, two with a sink and all three with fitted storage, a well-proportioned triple aspect study, a family bathroom and a separate family shower room. The property’s remaining double bedroom can be found on the vaulted second floor, together with a spacious yoga room, suitable for an additional bedroom if required, and a large 34 ft loft/storage space accessible from the landing.

Services: Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage. Centrally heated.

Occupying a generous corner plot and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through twin stone pillars over a block-paved side driveway providing private parking. The wrap around garden is laid mainly to lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and mature hedging and features numerous seating areas, a garden pond, shed, summer house with French doors to the garden, paved side terrace and a large paved and raised decked rear terrace. The whole is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoys fabulous far-reaching views towards the North Yorks Moors.

Located in the Esk Valley on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, Sleights offers a vibrant community-led village hall, shop, Spar, Post Office, butcher, baker, GP surgery, fish and chip shop, two pubs, churches, a village sports field, bowling club, and primary school.
