4 bedroom detached house

This handsome former farmhouse enjoys a superb setting, set well back from the street and overlooking Settrington beck and the grassy meadows that extend along either side of it.

The property, which is Grade II Listed, is understood to date from the late 1700s and is constructed of solid limestone walls beneath a clay pantile roof, offering accommodation of over 2,000sq.ft arranged over two floors. Within the last few years there has been a certain amount of updating carried out, although there is excellent scope to further improve and reconfigure to create a truly delightful home in what is a well sought-after and conveniently located village.

In brief the accommodation comprises entrance hall, sitting room, study, open-plan dining kitchen/family room. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

A fantastic recent addition to the property is a one-bedroom annexe/holiday cottage, which has been meticulously converted from a former stone outbuilding, and which offers a good degree of flexibility for either accommodating dependent relatives, an income stream via holiday letting, or as a wonderful home office/guest suite. Here the accommodation amounts to 488sq.ft and includes an open-plan living space, kitchenette, double bedroom, and en-suite shower room, all with vaulted ceilings and flooded with natural light. The work has been carried out to an excellent standard with an emphasis on energy efficiency and with high quality materials used throughout.

The extensive plot, which is approaching half an acre, includes plenty of space to park and two renovated outbuidings, one of which serves as a laundry room. The gardens are attractively landscaped and feature lawn, well stocked borders, patio areas, summer house and a productive vegetable patch.

Settrington is an especially pretty village situated at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds and benefits from a popular primary school, village hall, church, and sports club. The village is just 3 miles east of Malton, a first-rate market town which has gained a reputation as ‘Yorkshire’s Food Capital’ with is many eateries, artisan producers and high-profile food festivals. The town has a railway station, offering regular services to the mainline station of York, from where London can be reached in less than two hours. Most of the village falls within a Conservation Area and Brook Farm is easily identified by our For Sale board.
