Croft House, West Burton, Leyburn

Croft House is an attractive stone-built property which stands superbly overlooking West Burton village green. The accommodation has been tastefully updated during the 5 year ownership and offers well-proportionated rooms which would be well suited to a family. The property has had new windows and doors during this time and benefits from having an efficient bio-mass heating system and solar panels. 

The property is entered into a welcoming reception hall which provides access to the ground floor rooms and has oak effect flooring. There is a living room with a log burning stove, picture rails and a window with working shutters overlooking the green to the front, and a dining room with feature fireplace, cast iron radiator, and a window with shutters overlooking the front. 

The kitchen has been upgraded and features a good range of quality units from Holme Kitchen Design. There are granite worktops, AEG appliances including a double oven, fridge, dishwasher and a central island which can be removed if required. Completing the ground floor is a bootroom with fitted units including an integrated fridge freezer, and a separate cloakroom. 

To the first floor are four generous double bedrooms each with lovely views of the green to the front and gardens at the rear. One of the bedrooms features a modern ensuite shower room whilst the others share the family bathroom which has a WC, hand basin and a shower over the bath together with electric underfloor heating. 

The integral cart house provides excellent storage or parking for one small car and could also offer potential for conversion into further ground floor living accommodation if required (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). 

Externally the property is complemented by large gardens to the rear which are terraced and offer a secluded lawn, patio and decked areas, shrubbery, an orchard and flower borders. They are fully enclosed by walled boundaries and stunning views of the village and hills beyond can be enjoyed from the top of the small paddock which is perfect for chickens. 

A large stone barn with underfloor heating offers potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation subject to gaining the necessary consents. It is currently used as a hobby room and could offer scope for a work from home office. 

There is also a range of outbuildings including a laundry room with WC, Biomass boiler room and a wood pellet store. 

Overall, Croft House would make an excellent family home with work from home potential, but it may also appeal to those looking for a second home.
