Description
A rare opportunity to acquire Walled Garden House, a stunning solid Yorkshire stone home built within the mature gardens and magnificent Georgian walls of the original walled garden of Darfield House, a Grade II listed property dating back to the 1700s, privately nestled in Darfield Court in the historic centre of the vibrant and sought after market town of Tickhill, South Yorkshire.
Tickhill is brimming with old market town atmosphere, historical buildings, boutique style shops, a plethora of excellent restaurants along with a huge selection of artisan food shops. Situated close to rail links in Doncaster and to major motorway links the commuter is well served.
In excellent decorative order throughout Walled Garden House offers four ample sized bedrooms with views overlooking the many historical buildings of Tickhill. A character shaker style kitchen with granite worktops, charming garden room, lounge and dining room, all overlooking the tranquil mature walled gardens. It forms an idyllic world of its own with a restorative sense of private tranquillity yet within the centre of the charming historical Tickhill.
A feeling of warmth and cosiness is felt throughout Walled Garden House, a great family home. A charming fusion of modern conveniences set within an historical setting brimming with character right on the doorstep.
“Christmas time is fabulous here, the town centre is so atmospheric as the celebrations every Christmas Eve around the old Buttercross are full of festive cheer. The sense of community in Tickhill is very strong and it is full of old market town charm”
Walled Garden House is well maintained. All four bedrooms offer up views of historical buildings or the lovely walled garden at the rear of the house. The lounge has double aspect views with a large bay window to the front overlooking the old medieval Grade I listed Church and Buttercross and large patio doors lead out to the charming mature walled gardens at the rear.
“I particularly love the garden room, any time of day, sitting watching the many birds that visit the garden, it is a very relaxing space to enjoy.”
The garden enjoys direct sun throughout the day and can be accessed from the lounge or the garden room via patio doors. These lead onto terraced patios perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening drinks with friends—set against the atmospheric, tranquil, historical walled garden.
A shaker-style modern kitchen overlooks the garden and flows into the garden room, offering plenty of light and space to entertain whilst cooking. Features include a Belfast sink, solid granite worktops, old-style plate rack, shaker-style glass cupboards, quality appliances, and fittings. Ample, stylish storage space makes this kitchen an excellent and charming focal point of the home.
“I shall be sad to leave Walled Garden House and Tickhill. It has been an amazing family home and a very friendly place to live. Having so many amazing restaurants and interesting shops within walking distance will be especially missed. Fresh local produce, delicious pastries from the artisan bakery for breakfast, a cosy pub lunch, or a walk to the local atmospheric Mill Pond—all so close. Yet, when at home here, it is so very tranquil.”
