3 North Road, Hackforth, Bedale

A charming, stone built cottage, immaculately presented with quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

Situation And Amenities - Hackforth is an attractive, semi-rural village with a range of amenities including a public house offering rooms, a restaurant and bar as well as a thriving village hall. There are schools and nurseries in close proximity.

The thriving market towns of Bedale (4.5 miles) Leyburn (9.5 miles) and Richmond (9 miles) are all within close proximity and have weekly markets, several hotels, restaurants, public houses and many speciality shops. There are secondary schools in Leyburn, Bedale and Richmond, with private education in nearby Newton-le-Willows (Aysgarth Preparatory School) as well as Queen Mary’s School at Topcliffe, Cundall Manor, Sedbergh and Barnard Castle School.

The A1(M) is within good reach following the A1(M) upgrade with an access point at Leeming Bar around 5 miles away. The nearest train station is at Northallerton (about 10 miles) with a regular service on the East Coast Main Line to York, Newcastle, London or Edinburgh. Leeds Bradford is the nearest international airport but there are an increasing number of services now being offered from Teesside International Airport only 22 miles away.

Accommodation - The solid, timber front door leads into an entrance porch, where there are latched doors leading to the two reception rooms and a useful storage cupboard. The dining room has engineered oak flooring, an attractive, open, cast-iron fireplace, a door leading into the kitchen and a window overlooking the front garden.

The kitchen has quality, solid oak fitted units and work surfaces, with integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, Belfast sink, range-style cooker and SMEG dishwasher, vaulted ceilings and beams, terracotta tiling and a stable door out to the rear.

The sitting room offers a multi-fuel stove with a slate hearth and beam above and a window to the front. The first floor is accessed through a latched door within the kitchen to the landing, where there is a window to the front and doors leading to two good-sized double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a log-burning stove and alcoves. The second double bedroom also has vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a useful wardrobe/storage cupboard.

To the rear of the property, there is a separate annexe which is used as a garden room/play room, but offers the opportunity to be used as a home office or temporary guest accommodation. There are bi-fold doors leading out to the rear garden, along with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a contemporary en suite shower room.

Gardens - There is a low-maintenance garden to the front of the property which is gravelled with a stone wall boundary, mature shrubs and a pathway leading up to the front door.

To the rear of the property, there is an attractive south-facing garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a gravelled seating area, various flower beds, borders and a timber log store. The rear garden offers lovely views over Hornby Castle Deer Park.

The property also benefits from the freehold ownership of an allotment in the village, which is a short distance away.

Services And Other Information - Oil-fired central heating, mains water and electric. The property is served by a septic tank which we understand drains into the Yorkshire Water mains.

Owners' Insight - We love the views and walks through the deer park. The access to the A1 is great too, making various local towns easily accessible, including Darlington, Bedale, Northallerton, Thirsk and Ripon. The allotment is perfect for those who are keen gardeners whilst the south-facing rear garden gets sun throughout the day. There is a great community within the village and a local pub.
