Ling Garth, Low Row, Richmond

Ling Garth is an attractive and substantial, Grade II Listed country property which stands well on the edge of Low Row in Swaledale. The property enjoys south facing views across the valley and is well presented, offering spacious and flexible accommodation which will suit a number of buyers. The property benefits from having oil fired central heating and retains many character features throughout.

Ling Garth is entered into via a welcoming reception hall which provides access to the rear hall, dining room and drawing room. The dining room features an open fire within a stone surround, ceiling beams and a window to the front with shutters and seat and it leads through into the traditional kitchen diner. The dual aspect kitchen has oak flooring and features a good range of quality fitted units which are complemented by an oil-fired Aga which usefully heats the water. There is a separate larder with shelving that is plumbed for a washing machine and a dishwasher. 

There is a home office, a boiler room which offers an excellent space for drying jackets and boots, a cloakroom and a hobby room with lots of potential uses that are all accessed via the rear hallway. 

Completing the ground floor is the substantial drawing room with an open fire set within a feature fireplace. It has two windows and a glazed door overlooking the gardens with shutters and window seats. There is also a snug room which is currently used for storage and could be used as a ground floor bedroom if required.

The first floor is accessed by either of the two staircases with a total of four bedrooms.  The main bedroom is well proportioned and has a dual aspect with stunning views across the valley to the front and a built-in cupboard. There are three further double bedrooms as well as a useful landing with fitted cupboards which could be used as a dressing area. One of the bedrooms has a feature fireplace with Yorkshire Mouseman mantle. There are two bathrooms with the house bathroom usefully having a separate WC. 

Externally the property is complemented by generous gardens and grounds which are laid principally to the front enjoying south facing views across the valley. The gardens are very private and laid to lawn with a mix of established borders, trees and shrubs with ample patio areas for enjoying the surroundings. There is an area of garden to the side with established fruit trees and further low maintenance pathways to the rear where there is also a useful log store. 

There is a detached stone-built studio which has electricity that would be ideal for someone wanting to work from home and it also offers potential for use as ancillary accommodation (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). There is a detached garage with a large workshop to the rear also with water and electricity.  There is also off-road parking for 2/3 vehicles. 

Additionally, there is a small grass paddock available by separate negotiation which offers amenity potential. This adjoins the property and extends to 0.61 acre and is laid to grass with a block-built shelter, dry stone walled boundaries and has access off the public highway.
