Description
The Firs is an exceptional detached country residence, discreetly positioned behind electric gates and approached via a private driveway to an elevated setting, where privacy, space and a wonderful sense of rural tranquillity combine.
Thoughtfully renovated and comprehensively reconfigured by the current owners in recent years, the property has been transformed into an impressive six-bedroom family home, perfectly balancing elegant country living with the demands of modern life. From its generous reception spaces and beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen to its extensive entertaining areas, independent annexe and outstanding provision for vehicles and storage, The Firs is a home of considerable versatility and substance.
There is an unmistakable country feel throughout. Mature trees, established gardens, fruit trees and lawns surround the property, whilst the elevated position affords beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. The house sits comfortably within its grounds, enjoying a wonderful degree of privacy whilst remaining accessible to the amenities of Snainton and the wider Yorkshire coast and countryside.
The Main House
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed around modern family living, with an emphasis on space, natural light and entertaining.
A welcoming entrance hallway provides an immediate sense of the quality and scale of the home, leading to a useful study, boot room, utility room and ground floor shower room.
At the heart of the property is the exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining space. This is undoubtedly one of the principal features of the home; a generous and sociable room designed for family gatherings, entertaining and everyday life. Extensive bi-fold doors open directly onto the outdoor entertaining area, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the gardens beyond.
The adjoining snug provides a wonderfully cosy contrast to the open-plan living space and features a log-burning stove, making this an inviting room in which to retreat and relax.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two benefit from their own en-suite facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish house bathroom.
The second floor offers a further versatile room which could readily provide an additional bedroom if desired, subject to any necessary consents. Equally, this would make a superb home office, games room, studio or private retreat.
The Annexe
Adding an exceptional further dimension to The Firs is the beautifully conceived detached annexe.
Designed and thoughtfully created by the current owners, the annexe provides genuinely independent accommodation and is perfectly suited to multi-generational living, older children, guests or family members seeking their own space.
The principal living area is an impressive open-plan kitchen and living room, with doors opening onto a private balcony. From here, the elevated position provides beautiful views across the surrounding countryside, creating a particularly special setting in which to sit and enjoy the changing seasons.
A generous bedroom and en-suite complete the accommodation, providing everything required for comfortable independent living.
The annexe sits above a substantial double garage, further enhancing the property's already impressive provision for vehicles, storage and ancillary use.
Outside
The grounds and external facilities are every bit as impressive as the house itself.
The Firs is approached through electric gates and a private driveway, immediately establishing a feeling of exclusivity and privacy. The property occupies a generous plot with mature trees, fruit trees, lawns and established planting creating a beautiful country setting.
The outdoor entertaining area is a particular highlight. Designed for hosting family and friends, it incorporates an outdoor kitchen and generous entertaining space, creating an enviable environment for long summer lunches, evening gatherings and relaxed country living.
There is an exceptional amount of parking, together with garages, carports, outbuildings and extensive storage. The provision is particularly well suited to those requiring space for multiple vehicles, classic or recreational cars, equipment, hobbies or business use. Dog kennels and further useful ancillary buildings add to the property's considerable practicality.
Despite its impressive scale and extensive facilities, the property retains a wonderfully homely and relaxed atmosphere, with the gardens and surrounding countryside providing a constant backdrop.
The Lifestyle
The Firs is much more than a substantial family home. It offers a lifestyle.
It is a property designed around entertaining, family gatherings and multi-generational living, with the flexibility to accommodate different generations whilst allowing everyone their own space. The open-plan kitchen and outdoor kitchen create the perfect environment for hosting, whilst the snug with log burner provides a cosy retreat during the colder months.
The combination of the main residence, independent annexe, extensive grounds, generous parking and impressive storage makes this an unusually versatile country property.
Set within the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, yet within easy reach of the coast and the popular towns of Pickering and Scarborough, The Firs offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a genuine country lifestyle in a home that has been carefully and extensively enhanced for contemporary living.
