Outstanding and beautifully presented period house in a National Park village situated 1? miles inland from the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast.

Dating from the late 1700s, this double-fronted stone-built house was transformed in 2021/22 with a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment. Now superbly reinvented and presented, this luxurious and practical home is equally suitable as a full-time residence, a coastal retreat or holiday let. The works have been carried out with great respect to the building's heritage with all intrinsic historic character having been carefully retained or brought back to life. At the same time, the property has been sympathetically brought up to date with new electrical, plumbing and heating installations, windows and doors, bathrooms, kitchen, as well as re-plastering and decorating.

More Details - This late Georgian property has many original period features including the principal staircase with its polished handrail, beam and board ceilings, two cast-iron hob grate bedroom fireplaces, exposed oak lintels/beams salvaged from former ships timbers, exposed lime-pointed sandstone walls, some windows with original faux timber shutters, stripped cupboard doors and wide floorboards to the first floor. Careful attention to detail is evident throughout with the interior accommodation now providing a harmonious blend of contemporary styling set against an appealing backdrop of integrity and character.

On the ground floor, the light-filled central hallway is flanked by two elegantly proportioned front reception rooms each with a 'Rowandale' solid fuel stove. The light and airy kitchen/dining room has a double height ceiling into the roof space, 2 large Velux windows (one of which is electrically operated), and bi-fold doors that open out onto the seated courtyard patio and garden. The room is comfortably able to accommodate an American-style fridge-freezer, family-sized dining table and sofa. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a smart shower room with an electrically heated towel rail and Hans Grohe fittings.

On the first floor, both principal double bedrooms feature original ornate cast-iron bedroom fireplaces with reinstated cupboards to both sides, and the single bedroom has a lovely south-facing aspect. The three first floor bedrooms are served by a house bathroom with an electrically heated towel rail and Hans Grohe fittings.

The second floor provides two good-sized rooms rising into the ceiling with two Velux roof windows to each providing a light and airy feel. The first of these two rooms into which the stair from first floor level leads comprises an ideal study/home office as well as an occasional fifth bedroom. This room then leads to the fourth bedroom. Both rooms have ample eaves storage.
