Walnut Cottage is a beautifully presented detached village home set in delightful partially walled south facing gardens adjoining the World Heritage Site of Studley Royal Deer Park and Fountains Abbey.
This stylish family home constructed of mellow natural stone under a clay pantiled roof, sits beautifully within its rural setting and has undergone a programme of renovation and updating by the current owners. Upon entering the light and spacious central hallway one gets an immediate indication of the generously proportioned accommodation on offer.
The ground floor accommodation enjoys a natural flow from the welcoming hallway leading to the principal reception rooms and the recently refurbished sitting room is a particular highlight, flooded with natural light from the three large windows overlooking the gardens and parkland beyond. The dual aspect dining room has also been recently updated and is beautifully decorated, featuring polished limestone flooring with underfloor heating and french doors with direct access to the terrace and gardens beyond. The spacious breakfast kitchen offers a range of oak fitted furniture with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances including double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
Further accommodation to the ground floor comprises a lovely, bright family room, currently used as a home office, fully fitted utility room with stable door and slate flooring and ground floor cloakroom.
The timber staircase rises to a light and spacious landing leading to a principal bedroom with an en suite shower, complemented by two further generously proportioned guest bedrooms with fitted furniture and a fourth bedroom which is currently used as a study. There is also a modern house bathroom featuring white sanitary ware, separate shower cubicle and a double vanity unit. The property also benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating throughout.
Exterior
Walnut Cottage is approached via a private gravelled drive with parking for several vehicles. The principal south facing gardens lie to the rear of the property and offer beautiful level lawns bounded by mellow stone walling and planted with an array of herbaceous borders, established shrubs and specimen trees including a magnificent ancient walnut tree from which the house takes its name.
There is stone paved terrace to the side and rear of the property which can be directly accessed from the dining room, a perfect spot to sit and embrace the stunning open aspect and captivating parkland views.
A bespoke timber garden store is currently under construction.
Location
Studley Roger is highly desirable village due to the unspoilt nature of its historic and picturesque streetscape and adjacent unesco World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Deer Park, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The dramatic abbey ruins at Fountains are the largest monastic ruins in the country. The rolling parkland stretches towards the riverside, providing a perfect spot for a picnic. Riverside paths lead to the deer park, home to Red, Fallow and Sika deer and ancient trees; limes, oaks, and sweet chestnuts. Stunning walks feature the elegant water garden of mirror-like ponds, statues and follies.
The village is located approximately 2 miles west of the cathedral City of Ripon which provides an excellent range of shops, services and facilities including a bustling weekly market. The A1(M) is approximately 6 miles distant and offers easy access to regional commercial centres of the north and south.
The mainline railway stations at Thirsk and Northallerton have direct service to London Kings Cross in approximately 2 hours 20 minutes. Regular domestic and international flights are available from Leeds Bradford Airport.
The area is particularly well served by a wide range of schooling for children of all ages with a choice of state and independent schools. Walnut Cottage sits within the catchment area for the renowned Ripon Grammar School.
