House For Sale £850,000
The property
Built in 1982, Field House is located in a central position within the popular village of Smeeton Westerby. It sits behind a gii Listed stone wall which dates from the 1500’s when a farmhouse occupied the same position. Field House has become available after thirty-nine years within the same ownership and, although in good condition, might benefit from reorganisation of rooms, possible extension (subject to Planning Permission) and redecoration.
The front door opens into a light and airy hall, which sets the tone for the remainder of the house. The stairs are to the left and a cloakroom is to the right. Running from the hall is the sitting room with an electric fire and sliding glass doors which open onto the terrace and garden. To the left of the hall, a corridor leads through to a study, dining room and kitchen. The kitchen has a utility room off it which has a separate outside entrance to the front drive.
Upstairs, the principal suite sits at the southern end, has stunning and far reaching views and benefits from the morning sun. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
Behind the front boundary stone wall, which is a real landmark within the village, there is a generous gravelled parking area. There are deep and mature beds adjacent to the stone wall which could be narrowed to provide yet more parking, if needed.
Access to the rear garden is possible to either side of the house, although there is a hand gate to the left hand side. To the rear, the house is elevated above the garden and, adjacent to the house, there is a stone terrace. Two sets of steps lead down to the garden which is beautifully and comprehensively planted with mature trees, shrubs and beds. It is a ‘plantsman's paradise’.
