Originally part of the village school (1857), this detached character home sits within the North York Moors conservation area and enjoys direct access to Guisborough Woods and open countryside. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across about 2,354 sq ft, retaining original features such as exposed beams, arched windows and a galleried landing that give real period character.
The ground floor balances character with modern practicality: a breakfast kitchen with oak units and integrated appliances, a formal dining room with garden access, a sitting room with arch windows, and a lounge with exposed beams and a multi‑fuel stove. Upstairs there are five bedrooms (two en‑suite) including a master with fitted wardrobes; the fifth bedroom currently serves as a study, providing flexible space for families or home working.
Outside, established front and rear gardens, lawns and planted beds create a private, peaceful setting on a large plot. A detached double garage with power, lighting and an electric door adds useful parking and storage. The property is freehold and located in a very affluent, low‑crime area, making it a desirable rural family home.
Important practical points: broadband speeds are very slow — not suitable for heavy remote working without an upgrade. Council tax is in a high band (G), and services and installations should be independently checked prior to purchase. The setting is hamlet/isolated — excellent for countryside lovers but less convenient for frequent town commutes.
