Believed to date from the 1840s, this most appealing of village houses has been updated and extended over the years, most recently under the tenure of the current homeowners who have created a superb kitchen/dining/family room that connects to the west facing gardens at the rear. Stylishly decorated and beautifully maintained, this is a home of great character skilfully adapted to serve the needs of a modern family. Its adjacent stone barn dates from the same period of the house and offers considerable scope for conversion subject to consents.

Greenhill Gate sits in an elevated position away from the main village road. A range of local amenities lies within strolling distance and the property is convenient for the neighbouring market towns of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside.

Further Details - Greenhill Gate is a double-fronted house attached on the southern elevation to a row of period cottages. Dating from the mid-nineteenth century it has some fine architectural features including elegant 12- and 16-pane sash windows, deep sills, original built-in cupboards, traditional panelled doors and fireplaces on both floors.

At the front of the house the sitting room has a fireplace and curved bay window. The more formal drawing room is dual aspect and has a Chesney wood-burning stove and an identical curved bay window. It is part-open to the library/music room, a room distinguished by its wall of bookshelves surrounding the wide doorway. At the rear, the kitchen/dining/family room is a successful modern extension to the original house extending to some 34ft with an independent underfloor heating controlled by a thermostat. Its dining area is a single storey space with a double-height roof and wide French doors opening onto the garden terrace. The kitchen itself is hand-built with a large island unit that includes a breakfast bar, granite work tops, large drawers with soft close mechanism, integrated appliances and a kitchen cupboard with roller doors. There is also a large walk-in pantry and a separate utility/laundry room. Stone steps descend to the cellar which has a good ceiling height and natural light through a window.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has a pretty cast iron fireplace, large bathroom with wall-to-wall shower and bespoke dressing room with built-in wardrobes. There is a fine outlook across the garden from the west-facing pair of windows. Four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms are all accessed from the central landing. On the second floor, two adjacent rooms provide an ideal games room and/or play room, and have generous eaves storage.

Outside - The house sits behind traditional wrought-iron railings and a formal front garden of box hedging that rises either side of the wide stone steps leading to the entrance. A drive on the northern boundary passes through a five-bar timber gate to a private, gravelled area that provides parking for up to three cars. A detached, two-storey, stone barn/granary with pantile roof sits alongside the house; currently used as a garden store/tool store it clearly offers scope for development subject to consents. The main garden extends west from the rear of the house, is walled, secure and private. Beautifully landscaped, broad stone steps descend gently in a series of 'rooms', each one with its own character designed with a central lawn and beautifully planted borders, high mature hedging and specimen trees. Designed with outside entertaining in mind there are paved terraces, an outdoor kitchen/barbeque area, summer house with power and light, and a sunken trampoline.

Environs - The village of Nawton lies on the edge of the North York Moors, a few minutes' drive from the traditional market towns of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside.
