INTRODUCTION
Dykes Hill House was purpose built for the owners in the 1960s and has been a much loved and much enjoyed family home. It is a single storey dwelling covering over 6,000sq feet of living space with plenty of generous and light filled reception rooms and bedrooms overlooking the wonderful outdoors that surrounds it. The property is ripe for refurbishment, renovation or even knock down and rebuild, subject to planning approval.
The location alone is pretty special (and rare!) adjacent to the golf course, a stroll into Masham and a stone’s throw from the fabulous Swinton Park Hotel and Spa, providing a rare opportunity for someone to create unrivalled rural living on a grand scale (with the necessary planning permissions obviously!) on this existing footprint.
Outside, to the front of the property is a well established and very pretty garden laid mostly to lawn with shrubs and flowers galore. It is extremely private, peaceful and secure – perfect for families.
The driveway sweeps around to the rear of the house where there is plenty of parking. Also to the rear is the double garage and a few useful stores as well as the disused swimming pool. To the right hand side of the gated entrance is another garage as well as stables and a number of outbuildings. The access to the paddock is near to the stables.
The paddock is behind the house and is sloped. Again, it affords the house and plot greater privacy and is good amenity land.
Dykes Hill House is already a substantial country home within its own private grounds on the edge of Masham but it is now ready for its next chapter.
ENVIRONS
Masham is a picturesque and popular market town, situated on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, a short walk or quick drive from Dykes Hill and has an array of wonderful independent shops and boutiques as well as butchers, greengrocers, cafes, restaurants, a supermarket, church, public houses, the Black Sheep Brewery and a doctor’s surgery.
There is a thriving community in the town and the surrounding villages and a thriving local market. The town is approximately 9 miles north of the larger market town of Ripon and around 11 miles west of Thirsk. The proximity to these neighbouring towns allows for easy access to a wider range of amenities and services, including the excellent rail networks from Thirsk to go North and South. The A1 M is a short drive away connecting to other major routes.
The Swinton Park Hotel and Spa is less than a mile away with its two wonderful restaurants, Cookery School and fantastic spa and gymnasium and the house borders the golf course ….handy for those who love to play!
Overall, Masham's picturesque location, range of amenities, and easy access to road and rail networks make it a very attractive place to live.
