DESCRIPTION:
Located along a quiet lane in the pretty village of Pockley, on the southern fringe of the North York Moors National Park, this attractive stone-built detached house enjoys a particularly pleasant setting. Built around the early 2000s, the property combines traditional architectural styling with well-proportioned accommodation and, perhaps most importantly, offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to breathe fresh life into a much-loved home.

During the passage of time, the interior has become a little dated and purchasers may wish to upgrade the fixtures, fittings and décor to suit their own tastes. The same can be said of the gardens which, although established, are something of a blank canvas and would undoubtedly respond well to an injection of colour, imaginative planting and a little creative flair.

The accommodation is both practical and appealing. On the ground floor are two reception rooms, providing flexibility for everyday living, entertaining or working from home. The real heart of the house, however, is the large and wonderfully lofty kitchen/diner, where exposed roof trusses add character and a sense of space. From the kitchen sink there is a fantastic outlook to the rear – a lovely southerly view stretching across open fields and farmland and making even the washing-up considerably more enjoyable!

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering comfortable accommodation for a couple or family.

Coupled with a large garage with remote-controlled door, there is additional parking on the brick-set driveway to the front.

All in all, this is a house with considerable appeal. It is a little tired around the edges and now needs some love, imagination and investment, but the fundamentals are all here.
