More Details - The house has been reconfigured and updated to suit contemporary family living, centred around a large open-plan kitchen and breakfast room and complemented by a series of reception rooms. Two reception rooms open directly onto the garden through French doors.

The entrance hall features Merbau wood flooring, and the house has double-glazed windows throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms have been refitted with contemporary fittings.

The kitchen/breakfast room extends to more than 32 ft, providing generous space for everyday family use and informal dining. It is fitted with a peninsula island, integrated appliances and a Rangemaster cooker, and is supported by a large utility room with direct access to the driveway. The adjoining dining room opens onto the terrace through French doors, while the dual-aspect family room also has French doors and benefits from a southerly aspect.

The drawing room is centred around an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove and is well lit by a series of windows, including a bay window.

A study is located off the entrance hall, and a separate home office adjoins the garage, with French doors opening onto the terrace.

The principal bedroom overlooks the gardens and includes a bespoke dressing area and an en suite bathroom. Three further first-floor bedrooms are served by two additional bathrooms, one of which is en suite. The second floor provides substantial additional accommodation, currently arranged as two further bedrooms with eaves storage. One room is equally suited to use as a games room or hobby space with views across the gardens.

Outside - Fieldholme is set back from Sheriff Hutton Road behind a stone wall, mature hedging and established shrubs. Timber gates open onto a drive fronting a lawn that extends around the house.

The principal vehicular access is from Pottery Lane at the rear, where separate entrance and exit gates lead to a large gravelled parking and turning area and the brick-built garage. The garage has power, lighting and a full-width workbench, with an attached workshop/office.

The gardens lie predominantly to the side of the house, screened from the road by established Leylandii hedging. A broad paved terrace, enclosed by box hedging, overlooks an extensive lawn bordered by herbaceous planting. Apple, pear and plum trees are distributed throughout the garden, while a bark-surfaced children's play area occupies one corner of the grounds.
