Summary - THE ROWANS BALDERSBY THIRSK YO7 4PE
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Period character with contemporary renovation and a Mediterranean-style private garden.
Large 232 sqm / 2,402 sqft detached family home
This substantial four-bedroom detached cottage blends restored period character with high-quality contemporary finishes across 232 sqm (2,402 sqft). The ground floor centres on a dramatic open-plan living kitchen with a 5-metre roof lantern and large bi-fold doors, creating seamless indoor–outdoor flow to a sheltered, Mediterranean‑style west-facing garden with stone terrace, outdoor fireplace and barbecue area. Practical additions include a boot room, utility, cloakroom/shower and a detached garage/workshop alongside off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
The sitting room and snug retain authentic charm with exposed oak beams, stone-flagged floors and multi-fuel stoves, while upstairs offers a generous principal bedroom with en-suite, a roomy guest bedroom, two further double bedrooms (one currently arranged as a dressing room) and a luxurious family bathroom. Recent comprehensive renovation and bespoke joinery deliver an elegant, move‑in ready home suitable for family living and entertaining in a quiet village setting.
Notable practical points are clearly stated: the integral garage has been converted into a dog room and store (can be reinstated as garage), council tax is expensive, and broadband speeds are slow with only average mobile signal in this remoter community. These factors reflect the rural location and should be considered alongside the property’s large plot, high specification and private setting.
Offered freehold at £720,000, the property will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family home close to village amenities and strong independent and state schooling options. It also offers flexible spaces for hobbyists and country pursuits, with ample external storage, a covered walkway with utility facilities and an outdoor shower perfect for dogs or muddy boots.
