Find Out A Little More ..... - The house is distinguished by attractive sandstone and brick banding, tall windows and a steeply pitched pantile roof with gable-end chimneys. Its elevated position affords far-reaching views towards Roseberry Topping and Captain Cook’s Monument high on Easby Moor, part of the Cleveland Hills that form the northwestern edge of the North York Moors National Park.

The interior has been thoughtfully updated in recent years, with careful attention to building in character while introducing high-quality finishes throughout. There remains scope for further enhancement or extension, subject to the necessary consents. The annexe above the garage, with its own external access via traditional granary steps as well as internal connectivity, offers excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or potential income use.

The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys an abundance of west-facing natural light and is fitted with granite worktops, integrated appliances and a Rangemaster cooker. An adjacent utility room provides direct access to the integral garage. Characterful reclaimed ceiling beams feature in the principal rooms, notably in the dual-aspect dining room, which includes a bay window overlooking the moorland hills and French doors opening onto the south-facing terrace.

The principal sitting room occupies the south-west corner of the house, extending to nearly 30 ft, and features a wood-burning stove, large windows, and French doors leading out to the terrace with views over the gardens, field, and countryside beyond. A separate snug, centred around a substantial wood-burning stove, enjoys a striking picture window framing view of Roseberry Topping.

At the heart of the home is a dramatic galleried living room with a split staircase and distinctive bullnose step rising to the first floor. The upper floors provide highly adaptable accommodation, currently arranged as five bedrooms, three bathrooms with contemporary Duravit fittings and a fully fitted dressing room. The second floor offers a vaulted bedroom with dormer window, a galleried study area, and an unused shower room - ideal as a self-contained space for an older child or guest suite.

The first-floor granary annexe, located in the northern wing, comprises a bedroom, bathroom, two large vaulted rooms, one with plumbing and electrics in place for a kitchen.

Outside - The approach is via a long, privately owned drive bordered by woodland, passing three dwellings before reaching the sweeping driveway that leads to the rear of the house. The extensive tarmacadam parking area, accessed via two separate drives, provides ample space for multiple vehicles and offers potential for further development, such as an additional garage block (subject to consent).

The gardens wrap around the house and adjoin open countryside. A flagged terrace extends along three sides, perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding views. The grounds include raised planters, sweeping lawns divided by hedging, and a variety of mature trees, including a notable sycamore. There is also an apple orchard, a grass field to the south, and a belt of woodland along the western boundary.
