5 bedroom detached house

The Willows started life as part of the Hovingham Spa Station on the Thirsk to Malton line which opened in 1853. The station remained open until 1964 when it finally closed to all passengers, as a result of diminishing numbers and a drive to save money. The building, unused since the closure, was lovingly converted to a family home between 1977 and 1979 with the current family residing since the conversion was completed.

Whilst the original brick building is still in evidence, it has been extended and configured internally, forming the generous family house which stands today. The accommodation has been well-maintained with each of the living spaces being of generous proportions and blessed with plenty of natural light. The first floor boasts 5 good-sized bedrooms, with pleasant views of the gardens and surrounding countryside, and a large family bathroom with separate shower. The property stands on the northern edge of this picturesque and particularly well served village, accessed via a driveway to the front and side of the property leading to a substantial parking area, garage and further outbuildings. The gardens feature two mature weeping willows, which give the property its name, a lawned garden, rockery and flower border to the front and vegetable garden to the rear with a large greenhouse containing a mature grapevine.
