NATURAL BEAUTY

dining room is fitted with hand crafted units, granite worktops, integrated appliances, an oil-fired Aga, Range cooker and island unit with a breakfast bar, alongside space for a sizeable kitchen table. French doors open to the southerly facing garden terrace and a separate set of double doors allow access to the conservatory providing a further reception area. Just o from the kitchen sits a practical boot room with fitted units.

Continuing through the ground floor there is a guest WC in the central hallway, the two ground floor bedrooms sit in the original part of the house with the potential to share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and both are of similar proportions with striking beamed ceilings.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys fantastic views towards Castle Howard from a well placed Juliette balcony. There is a well appointed en-suite bathroom, walk in wardrobe and gallery space.

The house sits in some two acres of gardens and grounds alongside the paddock. A gravelled drive (laid in November 2022) passes the one bedroom cottage/annexe and terminates beside the steel-framed agricultural barn, providing ample options for parking. The barn has double upand-over doors and is currently used for garaging and storage. There is a vehicle recharging point at the back of the annexe as well as a dog kennel and log store.

Landscaped gardens planted with a rich variety of shrubs and perennials surround the house, which is clad with honeysuckle and wisteria on its southern elevation. Alongside the sweeping lawns are paved terraces, scattered trees and shrubs. There are well stocked herbaceous borders, a herb garden enclosed by box hedging, a scented rose garden, raised beds forming a vegetable patch, an orchard with a range of productive fruit trees and a small copse underplanted with bulbs.

The property is on the market for £1,200,000 with Savills York – see savills.co.uk for more information
