Set behind electric gates on a very large plot, this imposing 1953 detached home combines period elegance with practical family living. The house offers five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous reception rooms including a light-filled orangery and a living room with a substantial stone fireplace and wood-burning stove. Zoned underfloor heating serves the kitchen, lounge, utility and orangery, improving comfort and offering flexible use of the orangery as additional year-round living space.
Outside, mature hedging and trees enclose landscaped gardens with lawns, patios, apple trees, two greenhouses and a brick shed. A gravel driveway leads to a detached double garage with electric doors and there is a second gated entrance, giving clear potential for further development subject to planning (STPP). The property sits on the edge of Boroughbridge, within easy reach of Queen Ethelburga’s and equidistant to York, Harrogate and Leeds.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: council tax is described as quite expensive, the local crime rate is above average for the area, and the property’s tenure is currently unspecified. While the house is traditionally built and well-presented, any buyer considering major alterations should allow for updating in areas to meet modern standards and to capitalise on development potential (STPP).
This home will suit families seeking substantial accommodation, privacy and outdoor space close to good schools and country amenities. It also offers potential for buyers looking to adapt or extend (subject to permissions) while retaining a period façade and high ceilings in principal rooms.
