House For Sale £625,000
A MOST APPEALING RESIDENCE IN A CHARMING RURAL HAMLET ADJOINING HISTORIC PARKLAND
As the name suggests, The Gardens lies immediately adjacent to the former walled gardens of Moreby Hall, the renowned Salvin designed Gothic mansion house and indeed, such is it’s architectural and historic importance that not only is the Hall itself listed Grade II* but also, the parkland is listed and furthermore, is designated as a Registered Historic Park.
Moreby lies in a splendid rural area between the popular villages of Stillingfleet and Naburn yet is located just 6 miles from York city centre. Equally, the southern section of the York outer ring road is just 4 miles away, making for quick and easy access to the commercial centres of West Yorkshire.
Believed to date originally from the 19th century, the property has been cleverly and imaginatively extended to provide extensive and easily manageable modern living accommodation of quite some quality and style. In particular, an imaginative single storey extension to the front of the house assists in connecting the various south facing reception rooms and also forms an attractive ‘L’ shaped Kitchen and Breakfast area. Equally, a substantial two-storey extension to the rear has provided further bedroom accommodation and has allowed the creation of a wonderful generous sized south facing Drawing Room. Completing the picture are latched Pine boarded doors and UPVC double-glazed window units virtually throughout.
From the Hall, there is direct access to a handsome Dining Room complete with period fireplace and close by is the impressive Drawing Room which is arranged over two levels arranged to either side of a broad arch flanked by timber balustrades. A fine period fireplace is flanked by built in bookcases and French doors open to the garden. To the western end of the Hall is a good sized ‘L’ shaped Kitchen/Breakfast Room with extensive worksurfaces, Pine base and wall cupboards, double bowl sink unit and electric cooker point. To one end is the Dining Area with a fitted wooden timber bench seat whilst immediately adjacent is a 3-door oil fired Aga. Beyond, lie the remaining domestic offices and Double Garage whilst a further door opens to a most pleasant Sitting Room with built in bookcases and French doors open to an enclosed south facing sun terrace adjoining the former walled garden of the Hall. There is a spacious Master Bedroom suite with Dressing Area and ensuite Bathroom with cast iron rolltop bath with shower over. There are two further south facing double bedrooms and a House Bathroom with shower over.
The front garden has a principally Viburnum perimeter hedge and contains Flowering Cherry, Copper Beech and Buddleia whilst adjoining the house are Hydrangea, Pyracantha, Asiatic Jasmine, Honeysuckle and Cotoneaster. An archway leads to a superb south facing walled rear garden which is lawned and interspersed with a number of imaginative specimen trees to include Cherry Plum, Silver Birch, European Beech, American Sweet Gum, Buckthorn and Pin Oak. Adorning the western boundary wall are Mexican Orange, Clematis, Passion Flower, Bay Laurel and Cotoneaster whilst an archway adorned by Japanese Honeysuckle leads to a small flagged sun terrace where there are Wisteria, Ceanothus, Bay Laurel and Rose.
