Find Out A Little More .... - The house enjoys a discreet and private setting with the principal rooms overlooking the gardens, while upper floors benefit from far-reaching views across open countryside towards the nearby hills and westwards to the Vale of Pickering.

Constructed over a century ago, the house retains a number of original features including fireplaces on two floors, a staircase with moulded handrail and turned spindles, panelled bay windows and internal panelled doors.

The kitchen/breakfast room opens partially into the dining room, creating an impressive 30 ft family space across the front elevation, filled with morning light. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and integrated appliances, complemented by a walk-in pantry. To the north side of the house, a range of utility and laundry rooms provide excellent practical support for family life.

To the rear, the principal reception rooms enjoy a peaceful outlook over the gardens. The drawing room is a particularly fine space, generously proportioned and filled with natural light from three aspects. It features an open fire, a bay window, and an adjoining garden room with floor-to-ceiling glazing, as well as an internal window drawing additional light from the front of the house.

The sitting room offers a more intimate yet equally well-proportioned space, also with a deep bay window and featuring a Baxi open fire with dedicated ventilation, combining traditional character with efficient operation.

A further reception room has been adapted to provide a ground floor bedroom, with French doors opening directly onto the garden and served by an en suite bathroom with jacuzzi bath. This area affords the possibility of adaptable living and has, in the past, been combined with the adjacent sitting room to provide separate living accommodation with private access.

Five double bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, supported by a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, enjoying south and west-facing light and features fitted wardrobes, built-in cupboards and an ornate cast-iron fireplace. The top floor bedrooms are set within the roof space, offering good head height at the apex, Velux windows, fitted storage and extensive eaves space.

Loft storage is accessible via a hatch in the utility room with a pull-down ladder. The loft is boarded and fitted with lighting.

Outside - A gravelled driveway sweeps in front of the house, providing parking for several vehicles.

The gardens are a particular feature, wrapping around the house and offering a high degree of privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn, they are well established and include a variety of mature trees, shrubs and seasonal planting. Paved terraces to both front and rear provide ideal areas for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Additional features include two garden ponds, a rill, a timber shed (approx. 10ft x 20 ft), and a brick and pantile outbuilding with power and lighting, situated on the northern boundary. The gardens are largely enclosed by established hedging and fencing.
