Becksound is a spacious, stone-built detached house set down a private shared drive in the heart of Leyburn, yet tucked away for real privacy. The first-floor living rooms are positioned to make the most of panoramic views across Middleham and Penhill, while south-facing terraced gardens slope down to the Wensleydale heritage railway. The plot is large and landscaped, with patios, mature planting and a summer house with electricity.
Internally the house offers flexible accommodation over multiple levels: a ground-floor double bedroom (vaulted, beamed), utility and shower room with access to a double garage, and principal living and kitchen/dining on the first floor to capture the outlook. The kitchen features quality units, a central island, granite worktops and integrated appliances; the large living room has windows on three aspects and a stone fireplace.
Practical strengths include ample off-street parking, double garage, solar panels and a Freehold tenure. The location is unusually convenient for a rural setting — within walking distance of Leyburn market place and local amenities, with good mobile and fast broadband, and very low crime. Nearby schools and local services support family life or an active retirement.
Notable considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and double glazing predates 2002, which can mean higher running costs than modern gas systems. The property sits at the bottom of a shared drive and upkeep costs are shared with neighbouring properties. Council tax is described as expensive. These are factual points for buyers weighing running costs and long-term maintenance.
