House For Sale £1,400,000
The Carriage House, offering peaceful country living yet enjoying the benefits of York city attractions on the doorstep.
The Carriage House was built by Sir Andrew Fairburn in 1880 as part of the principal accommodation for his estate manager and family. In 2015, the properties were cleverly converted and reconfigured to create five individually designed homes, set against the tranquil backdrop of surrounding private parkland. Situated at the end of a tree-lined private driveway which meanders through the parkland, the properties immediately impress with their original distinguishing features and unique character.
Sensitively converted to combine contemporary architecture with the origins of the buildings, The Carriage House offers the perfect blend of spacious modern living with period character. At over 4000 square feet, the property is of significant size with generously proportioned rooms and a flexible configuration to suit a variety of family lifestyles. Various improvements have been thoughtfully carried out in recent years, including a beautifully designed kitchen, light-enhancing Crittall doors, hand-built wardrobes utilising original materials, and stylish neutral décor throughout.
The principal rooms enjoy far-reaching views over the extensive lawned garden and across neighbouring countryside. Wrapping around the house, the gardens lead out from a well-screened paved terrace and extend down to a fenced paddock area, mature hedging and trees creating a natural border. In addition to a double garage, there is ample driveway parking, and private lanes to both Askham Bryan and Askham Richard which are less than 10 minutes on foot.
The highly regarded villages of Askham Bryan and Askham Richard lie just 5 miles from York, with local amenities including a pub, a coffee shop and garden centre, and one of the country’s top rated primary schools. They sit within the catchment area for the highly regarded Tadcaster Grammar School and are well placed for commuter links to Leeds via the A64 and to Harrogate.
