ACCOMMODATION

This quaint, two storey detached dwelling is steeped in history. Once a Victorian Reading Hall, built in 1865 by the then daughter of the Archbishop of York, it was sympathetically converted to residential use in the 1980's. The property retained some of its character, with vaulted ceilings and galleried landing to the first floor.
The entrance hall, with terracotta tiled flooring and whitewashed brick walls leads down into the open plan kitchen / living room. Blending rustic charm with functionality and fitted with wooden cabinetry, counter tops, and Belfast sink. Open shelving offers both storage and display space, while natural light pours in through cottage-style windows. A useful utility provides adequate space for appliances. The living space offers yet more character with wood burner, exposed beams and terracotta flooring. The staircase provides a lovely architectural feature, whilst the open layout encourages easy movement between cooking, dining, and relaxing. The sitting room offers a more formal room for entertaining, with French doors opening directly out to the front. This versatile space would also serve as a snug, study, or hobby room.
To the first floor are two bedrooms and bathroom. The third bedroom is uniquely open plan with galleried landing overlooking the ground floor. A cast iron Victorian fireplace adds charm to the room and Velux windows flood the space with light.
