Moor House is a substantial Grade II‑listed period home dating from the 1780s, set within just under an acre of landscaped gardens and grounds. The house extends to about 3,328 sq ft and combines original features — sliding sash windows, exposed beams, cast‑iron fireplaces and reclaimed parquet — with a sympathetic rear extension and high‑spec fittings throughout. The setting is rural and peaceful, with uninterrupted countryside views to the White Horse of Kilburn and easy access to Thirsk station and the A19/A1(M).
Accommodation is flexible and family‑focused. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a ground‑floor bedroom suite and a former stable converted into a substantial ground‑floor suite with stairs to an additional bedroom — making a clear possibility for a self‑contained annexe. Living spaces include three reception rooms, a Shaker‑style kitchen with granite worktops, a large dining room with an oil‑fired Aga, a home office and a gym (former garage).
Outbuildings form a charming cobbled quadrangle, largely renovated and now providing useful workspaces, storage and a light home office. The gardens are a major asset: terraced patios, sweeping lawns, herbaceous borders, orchard, vegetable plot, greenhouse and a small copse with gated access to Low Lane. Parking for several cars is provided within secure gates.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II‑listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and permissions. Heating is oil‑fired and broadband speeds are very slow — important for remote working. Council tax is in a high band. Overall, this is a characterful, extensively renovated country house suited to families seeking space, provenance and flexible accommodation, provided buyers accept listed‑building responsibilities and some rural utility limitations.
