The sale of Ferncliffe represents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant period family home in this sought after village location. The property is linked detached, connected to the neighbouring house only by a weather brick to the front and at the roofline. This is a common trait of houses of this era, where detached properties were built close together and provides the brickwork protection from the elements. Ferncliffe provides flexible spacious accommodation of almost 2,600 sqft with a loft conversion providing two bedrooms and a bathroom at second floor level. The property was further extended in 2020 to provide additional and flexible living space at ground floor level.

Tockwith itself is a very popular semi rural North Yorkshire village with excellent amenities including a village shop and post office, hairdressers, doctor’s surgery, two pubs and a highly regarded nursery and primary school. The market town of Wetherby is only some 10 minutes drive with a wide range of amenities and also bypassed by the A1 for travel further afield.

The accommodation briefly comprises a light and welcoming reception hall leading initially into a lovely sitting room with period fireplace, open grate and shallow bay window to the front.

The kitchen is also open through into a light and spacious sitting/garden room with light dome and full width folding doors opening out into the south facing rear garden. There is also effectively a fourth reception room in the form of a study/home office which could be used as a ground floor bedroom in conjunction with the nearby guest shower room, both are accessed from an inner lobby/boot room also providing access to a fitted utility room.
