White Lodge, High Mill Drive, Scarborough, North Yorkshire

+++White Lodge is an EXCEPTIONAL DETACHED RESIDENCE occupying a magnificent GATED SETTING with EXTENSIVE GARDENS, PRIVATE WOODLAND and an OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL, discreetly positioned within this highly desirable location just moments from Scarborough’s NORTH BAY. Offering beautifully versatile accommodation, including a SELF-CONTAINED ONE BEDROOM ANNEXE, the property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary degree of space, privacy and lifestyle appeal whilst remaining within easy reach of the coastline and town.+++

Approached through a gated entrance, White Lodge immediately creates an impressive sense of arrival. A substantial gravelled driveway provides extensive off-road parking and is surrounded by mature planting and established gardens, setting the house well back within its grounds and creating a wonderfully private environment.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the defining features of the property. Sweeping lawned areas wrap around the residence and combine with established woodland, mature trees and a picturesque pond to create an idyllic setting with considerable space to explore and enjoy. An outdoor swimming pool provides an exceptional focal point during the warmer months, while a summer house/workshop offers further versatility for hobbies, entertaining or storage.

Internally, the accommodation is equally impressive and offers considerable flexibility for family and multi-generational living. The property is entered via a practical boot room/utility, perfectly suited to a home of this nature and providing access into a particularly valuable ONE BEDROOM ANNEXE. This versatile space incorporates its own bedroom accommodation, shower room and kitchenette, making it ideal for extended family, independent relatives, visiting guests or those seeking a degree of separation from the principal accommodation. An inner hallway leads into the main living areas, where the property provides an excellent selection of reception space. The living room offers a comfortable setting in which to relax, complemented by a separate formal dining room and a generously proportioned fitted kitchen/dining room which provides an inviting hub for everyday family life. A particular highlight of the ground floor is the impressive SUN ROOM. Enjoying wonderful views across the surrounding gardens, this characterful space features a striking CENTRAL OPEN FIRE and opens directly onto the VERANDA, creating a superb connection between the house and its exceptional outdoor surroundings. Whether entertaining during the summer months or enjoying the changing landscape throughout the seasons, this is a room designed to make the most of White Lodge's remarkable setting. A separate W.C. completes the principal ground-floor accommodation.

To the first floor are THREE FURTHER BEDROOMS, including an impressive principal suite with its own EN-SUITE facilities. The principal bedroom also opens onto a PRIVATE BALCONY overlooking the gardens and swimming pool, providing a wonderful elevated vantage point from which to appreciate the peaceful surroundings. The remaining bedrooms provide generous family or guest accommodation and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside is where White Lodge truly distinguishes itself. The combination of expansive lawns, mature woodland, pond, outdoor swimming pool, veranda and useful outbuildings creates an exceptional private retreat, with numerous areas for entertaining, recreation and relaxation. The scale of the grounds provides an increasingly rare sense of space and seclusion, while the gated driveway offers extensive parking for numerous vehicles.

Despite this wonderfully peaceful environment, White Lodge remains conveniently positioned for Scarborough's renowned North Bay and the surrounding coastline, providing an enviable balance between privacy and accessibility.

Offering a GATED SETTING, EXTENSIVE PRIVATE GROUNDS, WOODLAND, OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL and SELF-CONTAINED ANNEXE, White Lodge represents an exceptionally rare lifestyle opportunity. A distinctive and versatile family residence whose remarkable gardens and secluded setting must be viewed in person to be fully appreciated. Contact Liam Darrell Estate Agents for further information.
