House For Sale £900,000
This Victorian gem is now a modern energy efficient home within an architecturally impressive building. Conveniently located in the heart of a flourishing North Yorkshire village, this is a discreet property with much to admire behind the Gothic oak double doors, from the beautifully appointed interiors to the glorious, landscaped gardens to the rear.
Constructed in the late Gothic Revival style this former chapel offers a striking external appearance and has been expertly converted to a residential home. The impressive interiors, which extend to nearly 4,000 sq ft, have retained many period features including deep sills, heavy oak double doors with decorative hinges and latches, exposed stonework, Victorian pitch pine beams and trusses. Throughout the entire property everything has been updated to the highest specification with oiled oak parquet flooring in the entrance hall, living area and first floor landing, thermostatically-controlled heating via an app, traditional column radiators, and bespoke double glazed windows (exception of two due to their historical significance). At the heart of the house is a stunning kitchen/dining/living room, an outstanding living space with natural light pouring in from three sides and a sandstone fireplace housing a Dovre wood burning stove; it extends south to a fine garden room with banquette storage seating, space to accommodate a family sized dining table and French doors opening onto the delightful garden. The bespoke ‘Coast and Country‘ fitted kitchen has an island with solid oak work surface and breakfast bar’; there are Silestone work surfaces elsewhere, multiple fitted units all with a ‘soft close’ mechanism and painted in Little Greene, a Falcon Range Cooker with induction hob, an integrated Siemens dishwasher, integrated Hotpoint fridge freezer drawers, and a Franke sink with spray tap and Perrin & Rowe mixer tap. A pantry housing the microwave, toaster, coffee machine etc. Has a hatch inside which opens to the utility/laundry room where there are further bespoke units, a broom cupboard and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. To the front of the house are two reception rooms, a study and a larger snug with a Nordpeis contemporary wood burning stove and its own independent entrance from outside. A large shower room/wc provides scope to create a ground floor bedroom suite.
The first floor bedroom accommodation is arranged around a central landing with a useful airing cupboard, illuminated by a superb round window of stone tracery and stained glass. The bedrooms have high ceilings and the bathrooms are all designed with luxurious fittings; exposed beams bring further character to many of the rooms. On the top floor is the magnificent, self-contained ‘boudoir’ totalling nearly 980 sq ft with its vaulted ceiling of restored roof trusses and beams of mellow pine pitch that extend across the length of the room. Three stone mullion windows face south across the garden. On the northern elevation the stained-glass window is built into the design of the en suite shower room, and is viewed from the balconied area behind glazed panels. One of the first floor bedrooms has been converted into a dressing room for the principal bedroom suite, being fitted with detachable wardrobes and shelving.
The property is set back from the road behind wrought iron railings atop a low stone wall, with an evergreen hedge, shrubs and trees providing additional screening. A gravel and York stone drive provides off street parking for numerous vehicles. On the western elevation behind solid timber gates is a detached, stone ‘garage’ with slate roof, now converted to a secure workshop with electricity supply, first floor storage, roller racking shelf units, a single door as well as up-and-over garage doors. On the eastern elevation is a secure pedestrian side access providing a utility area with log store and compost. The landscaped gardens sit predominantly behind the house and face south with a lovely outlook to the far distance. Private and well screened, they are in two parts and have been elegantly designed using structure and planting to draw the eye down the garden through a pointed arch of crafted stone skilfully fitted into an old stone wall. There are areas of lawn, an abundance of specimen trees, shrubs and perennials, artfully placed raised beds, water feature and garden rill (nearby double sockets for its lighting and water) and a sheltered al fresco terrace with a log burning stove. At the lower end is the kitchen garden with productive raised beds, fruit bushes and trees, a greenhouse and an irrigation system, all part concealed behind a low fence. There are two garden taps, automated exterior lighting and the entire plot is bordered by a combination of stone wall, Western Red Cedar timber fencing and beech hedge.
