Howgills, High Street, Lingdale, Saltburn

Occupying a delightful semi-rural position on the edge of Lingdale, 'Howgills' is a beautifully presented detached bungalow enjoying breathtaking panoramic views at the rear across open countryside towards the North Yorkshire Moors and the coastline beyond. Rarely do properties combine such a peaceful setting with excellent accessibility, making this an exceptional opportunity for those seeking one-level living with the added benefit of future potential.

Offered to the market for only the second time since its construction over 60 years ago, this much-loved home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated by its current owners. Beautifully decorated throughout in a contemporary neutral palette, the property benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing, re-plastered walls, upgraded flooring, modern internal fittings and a recently updated boiler, allowing purchasers to move straight in and enjoy from day one.

A particularly exciting feature of the property is the existing Building Regulations approval to increase the accommodation into a spacious three-bedroom family home. Two substantial loft rooms are already in place, accessed via a fixed timber paddle staircase and complete with radiators, Velux roof windows, carpeting and first-fix plumbing for a future bathroom. Subject to any necessary planning or Building Control requirements, these rooms offer outstanding potential to create a luxurious principal bedroom suite, additional bedrooms or versatile home-working accommodation.

The spacious internal layout briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, an elegant living room with access to a comprehensively fitted dining kitchen with direct access to the rear garden enjoying delightful countryside views, two generous ground floor double bedrooms and a luxurious four-piece family bathroom featuring both bath and separate shower, compete this level.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with beautifully maintained gardens extending to two sides. The rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying uninterrupted views across open farmland towards the dramatic coastline and providing an idyllic setting for relaxing or entertaining. A large lawn is complemented by well-stocked borders and established planting. Parking is equally impressive, with a front driveway leading to the attached garage, together with a second gated rear driveway accessed from Groundhill Farm Lane, providing secure parking for several vehicles, a motorhome, caravan or trailer.

Perfectly positioned for those who enjoy the outdoors, the property lies within easy reach of the spectacular North York Moors National Park, the beautiful Esk Valley, and the stunning Yorkshire coastline including Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Staithes and Whitby. Guisborough and the commercial centres of Teesside are also easily accessible, making this an ideal home for both retirees and families alike.

Beautifully presented, exceptionally versatile and offering exciting scope for future expansion, Howgills is a rare opportunity to acquire a quality home in one of East Cleveland's most picturesque semi-rural locations. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
