A small inner hall provides access to the elegant double aspect drawing room with working fireplace and lovely bay window. A door opens to the side gardens and a veranda terrace adorned with roses. Two doors give access to the dining room: Another characterful room with the original floorboards, fireplace and bay window.
The study has one of the best views through double doors to the garden and fields beyond. Adjoining is a cloakroom and small hall opening to the lovely “Oak Leaf of York” with Fired Earth conservatory with Fired Earth tiled floor and under floor heating. The roof lights have temperature controls and rain sensors. Two sets of double doors lead to the gardens.
