The Mount, Carlton, Leyburn, DL8 4BD

The Mount is a very attractive, detached Grade II Listed stone property which stands well in the popular village of Carlton in Coverdale. The property retains a wealth of character features throughout including stone floors, working window shutters, a stone staircase and open feature fireplaces. It has been sympathetically restored and maintained and offers spacious accommodation that enjoys stunning south facing views to the rear of open countryside. 

The property is entered into a welcoming reception hall with a traditional stone staircase leading up to the first floor, and a stone-flagged floor which has under-floor heating that runs throughout the ground floor. The property is a traditional long house and to the left as you enter the property is the dining room. This charming dual aspect room features a traditional cast iron range and leads through into the kitchen. The country kitchen features a good range of fitted wooden units with wooden worktops which are complemented by a ceramic sink and an Aga. There are stone shelves, ceiling beams with feature meat hooks which add to the character and a door leading out to the rear courtyard with two stone stores and grass paddock beyond. 

Across the entrance hall, the living room is defined by its rich period character and a striking open fireplace set within a traditional stone surround. This space flows into an inner hallway featuring exposed stone walls and an arched window to the front. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a practical cloakroom and a doorway providing direct access to the rear courtyard and cobbled parking area.

Completing the ground floor is a snug and a utility room which is plumbed for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a back staircase leading up to the first floor with a useful studio which could be used as a bedroom if required. This leads into a double bedroom which has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and views to the front and rear.  There is a house bathroom which is spacious and has a wooden floor with a WC, hand basin, a cast iron freestanding bath with a shower over. There would be space to install a separate shower cubicle if required. 

Completing the first floor there are two further bedrooms which are accessed via the turned stone staircase. Each bedroom is of good proportions and enjoys stunning views of Coverdale with the main bedroom benefitting from a dressing area with walk in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room.  

The property is complemented externally by a small front garden with path which leads to the rear courtyard and the cobbled parking area. The gardens are mostly laid to patio and low maintenance with planted flower beds and ample space for potted plants and seating. 

Adjacent to the formal gardens is a dedicated, fenced enclosure, thoughtfully planted with a variety of specimen trees to provide character and screening. This area includes a selection of fruit trees and serves as a natural haven for local wildlife, frequently attracting hedgehogs, rabbits, and a diverse array of songbirds. It offers a peaceful, low-maintenance extension to the grounds that enhances the property's rural charm.

The grass paddock extends to 1.62 acre and has fenced and walled boundaries. It offers excellent equestrian potential and would also appeal to those looking to keep chickens or some sheep.

Overall, The Mount offers excellent potential as a family home or large second home in a popular part of the Yorkshire Dales.
