6 bedroom detached house for sale

This superb, one-off modern home is set within open countryside, and offers exceptionally spacious accommodation of significant quality, approaching 2,700sq.ft. Constructed within the last 15 years using reclaimed limestone, the outcome has been a resounding success, resulting in a house which at first glance looks like a period property. Extensive reclaimed materials have been incorporated internally to great effect, such as beams, stone windowsills, and timber lintels, complemented by stone flagged floors, ledge and brace doors and double-glazed sash windows. The whole house is packed with high levels of insulation, which together with underfloor heating, heritage column radiators, and solar hot water is fully set up for 21st Century living.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes an entrance hall, triple aspect sitting room, panelled snug, a wonderful open-plan dining/kitchen/family room, and a utility room, pantry and guest cloakroom. Over the upper two floors there are a total of six double bedrooms, a house bathroom and two shower rooms (one of which is en-suite). It is worth noting that there are hard-wired ethernet points in all rooms for an internet TV system.

The house faces almost due south, enjoying views across open countryside and occupying a large plot of approximately 0.3 acres. There are driveways to both the front and rear, offering ample room to park in addition to a large garage and workshop. The gardens have been attractively landscaped and include lawn, shrub borders, several paved patio areas, pond, brick-built BBQ, fruit trees, and a kitchen garden with raised beds.

Great Barugh is a pleasant rural village set in beautiful, unspoilt countryside within the Vale of Pickering. Bennisons Cottage is located approximately 1 mile north of the village itself, on the road leading to Normanby. Despite its rural setting, excellent amenities are close at hand in the nearby market towns of Malton and Kirkbymoorside (6 and 5 miles respectively). Malton has in recent years gained a reputation as ‘Yorkshire’s Food Capital’ thanks to its high-profile food festivals and artisan producers. It also benefits from a train station with regular services to the mainline station of York, where there are direct services to London, Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
