Description
This distinguished, four-bedroom family home forms part of a high-end, gated development on the edge of a sought-after conservation village between Malton and York. Set around a central courtyard, it is the largest of just nine homes which were converted almost 20 years ago from a Grade II Listed, Georgian stable block which used to serve Howsham Hall, a Jacobean mansion house which neighbours to one side.
Designed by the leading Architect of the time, John Carr, this especially attractive building dates from the 1770s and is located within the Howardian Hills, adjoining open countryside, across which there are stunning open views.
Set within a stunning plot of a little over two acres, the house enjoys both its own private garden, which wraps around two sides of the house, in addition to extensive communal grounds which include an all-weather tennis court, gymnasium and loggia.
The house provides accommodation of over 2,200sq.ft and is presented to an impeccable standard throughout, with elegantly proportioned rooms displaying a wealth of character. Arranged over two floors, in brief it comprises entrance hall, guest cloakroom, sitting room, a kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke cabinetry, opening through to a living/dining room. To the first floor is a huge galleried landing, a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room) and a house bathroom. There is oil-fired central heating throughout and both reception rooms have contemporary, gas fired stoves.
Derwent Court is approached via electric gates with an intercom entry, to a communal courtyard and Number 1 benefits from an open-fronted double garage, immediately adjoining its own private garden. The garden has been beautifully landscaped, featuring lawn, shrub borders, and a stone paved terrace; wisteria and climbing roses adorn the building. In addition, there are very lovely communal gardens and grounds
Howsham is a classic Yorkshire village, enjoying peace and quiet, yet within easy reach of amenities in the popular market town of Malton and the city of York. It sits within a scenic stretch of countryside, where the Yorkshire Wolds meet the Derwent Valley yet is within 3 miles of the A64, allowing for rapid access to the wider metropolitan area. It enjoys picturesque streetscape largely made up of period houses and cottages, all located along the same side of the street, along with its Grade I Listed parish Church.
