Set on about half an acre in a tranquil hamlet, this substantial five-bedroom family home combines generous living space with sweeping farmland views. The heart of the house is a vaulted 28ft kitchen/dining/day room with granite worktops, island, multi‑fuel stove and vaulted glazing — ideal for family life, entertaining and home‑working. Two further reception rooms and a garden snug give flexible space for children, study and hobbies.
Outside offers very large, landscaped gardens, productive raised beds, greenhouse, outbuildings and extensive parking including an EV charging point. The property sits a short drive from Scorton’s village amenities and is within comfortable reach of Richmond, Bedale and Northallerton; the A1(M)/A66 and mainline rail are accessible for longer commutes.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house is heated by an oil boiler (grant boiler), drains are on a private system, and the solid brick walls are assumed to have no installed insulation. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, which may affect heavy remote working or streaming. Council tax sits at an expensive band (F).
Overall this freehold home suits a large or multigenerational family, buyers seeking countryside privacy with productive gardens, or those wanting adaptable rooms for home businesses. It offers scope to improve energy efficiency and connectivity to better suit long‑term running costs and modern working needs.
