Green Hills, 58 High Street Castleton, YO21 2DA

PARTICULARS OF SALE
Greenhills is a deceptive property. From the roadside, it looks like a simple bungalow, but it is so much more. The property offers accommodation over 3 levels with up to 4 bedrooms and 3 receptions rooms. The property has both a lower ground floor level and first floor.

It is set in an elevated position with fabulous long views over the valley to the moors beyond in the heart of the National Park. To the rear terraced gardens descend to a garage and parking area.

Beyond the house and gardens lie further garaging and workshops with an allotment garden, a pair of former stables now used as chicken coups and a polytunnel. Adjacent to this is a sloping block of land, part of which is a wildflower meadow and part planted as amenity woodlands with wildlife ponds and a camping site.

Towards the bottom of the hillside, the woodland finishes and there is grazing land divided into smaller paddocks by electric fencing, plus a range of timber stables and a store, with access to the road by the cricket field.

It's so much more than a bungalow! So much that it is divided into 2 lots, as broken down above and can be sold as a whole or in individual pieces, but no sale will be agreed for the land until a sale is agreed to include the house.

The family room is a large reception room with a bay window to the rear and a door opening out into the conservatory. There is a huge multi-fuel stove which links into the central heating and makes this a really snug reception space. A screen and a projector turn this into a home cinema and hatches offer storage and access to voids under the house.

The conservatory is double glazed and opens out onto the decked rear garden.

Aside from these two rooms there is also a laundry room under the kitchen, accessed externally which has hatches giving access to further space under the house containing the central heating boiler and for storage.

Externally
At the front, the property has a block paved driveway offering off-street parking for a single vehicle. A gate leads through into a paved front yard where a path then leads down the side of the house to steps descending into the rear garden.

The area to the immediate rear of the house is mainly decked being a superb area for entertaining including a covered cooking area, ideal for barbeques. The whole space has fabulous views and is readily accessible to the house through either the kitchen or the conservatory.

Beyond the deck is a grassed garden where the bulk LPG tank stands with gated access onto the rear driveway which is accessed across the common.

This driveway leads down to a levelled concrete parking pad suitable for parking a number of vehicles where there is a timber garage workshop (20' x 14') with light and power connected.

Just below the house and gardens is a further range of outbuildings and an allotment garden, plus a wildflower meadow extending to an additional 0.8 acres on top of the house and garden making the whole property just over an acre.

At the top is a wooden garage workshop (18' x 12') with a further lean-to timber garage (12' x 9'6), adjacent to a levelled stoned hardstanding.

Next to this is an allotment gardening area with a polytunnel and two former pony stables which have been converted to chicken coups.

This leads onto a wildflower meadow interspersed with planted specimen trees running across the hillside along the rear of the neighbouring houses, offering fabulous wildlife benefits and amenity as well as commanding fabulous views over the valley. As the land slopes away to a gate into the adjoining woodland and down to the stables and paddocks, there is a further wooden storage shed.

Lot B - The Woodland, Paddocks and Stables
Totalling 2.8 acres, this lot includes the paddocks and stables plus amenity woodland and is evenly split between the two.

The steeper slopes of the hillside are a planted woodland which is mainly willow, plus silver birch, oaks, cherry and many other broadleaf varieties.

The trees are planted with amenity in mind, there are ponds for wildlife and clearings for camping and even a huge, over-sized bench for sitting to appreciate the view. Part of the woodland includes a path which links the play area at the bottom of the hill, next to the cricket fields, to the school at the top of the hill. The school pay a nominal rent to use the path.c
