Description

Fountain House is a delightful Grade II listed house set in the heart of Helperby. The property is of great character with an abundance of period features including oak timber frames that date back to around 1607.

The current owners have sympathetically extended and improved the property, including creating a new open plan bespoke kitchen by Treske with a dining and living area beyond and bi folding doors leading out to the garden.

In addition, downstairs there are three flexible reception rooms, an office with views over the garden, a toilet and a large utility/boot room. From the office there is access to the fourth bedroom and the loft.

The rest of the first floor is accessed from the family room and comprises a principal bedroom suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the walled garden is fully enclosed and includes a vegetable garden and orchard area, as well as the unique feature of a working 50ft brick chimney thought to have originally fired the village sawmill.

There is a large garage, in one end of which the biomass boiler is located, and there is off street parking beyond the double gates as well as on the cobbles in front of the house.

Location

With a vibrant community offering excellent facilities including a primary school and nursery, doctor's surgery, public house, a further public house with restaurant and rooms, church, a thriving village hall, paper shop, garage, cricket and football clubs and many more recreational clubs and societies.

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
