Welcome to Larks’ Cottage. A striking link-detached village residence set within the beautiful surroundings of the highly coveted village of Studley Roger, adjoining the World Heritage Site of Studley Royal Deer Park and the awe-inspiring Fountains Abbey. This spacious family home was constructed in 1975 and later extended in 1989 with attractive elevations of stone and cobbles under a clay pantiled roof. Immersed in the tranquility of delightful walled gardens, Larks’ Cottage is set over two floors, offering an abundance of generously proportioned living spaces.
The ground floor accommodation enjoys a natural flow from the welcoming hallway leading to the principal reception rooms.The drawing room boasts a deep bay window, decorative Neoclassical fire surround with open fire and low level fitted shelving. This comfortable living space opens to the adjoining sitting room.A particular highlight is the sitting room, which is connected via double doors to the drawing room features extensive purpose-built book shelving and floor level storage cupboards. This lovely family space is flooded with natural light from the large bay window and french doors giving direct access to the terrace and gardens.
On the opposite side of the hallway awaits a separate dining room, perfect for hosting gatherings with family and friends.The breakfast kitchen offers a range of painted fitted cabinetry, a stainless-steel sink, integrated electric hob and double oven. There is ample space for a dining table.The kitchen opens into a practical utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, complemented by quarry tiled flooring. An adjacent cloakroom adds convenience to the ground floor accommodation.
First Floor
The timber staircase rises to a light and spacious landing leading to the principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with white sanitary ware. There are three further generously proportioned bedrooms and a fifth bedroom currently utilised as a study.There is also a modern house bathroom featuring white sanitary ware.Larks’ Cottage presently provides bright and airy living spaces; however, the prospect of elevating its appeal awaits through thoughtful modifications and updates to the internal specification. This presents a unique opportunity to personalise and refine this already charming family home according to your individual vision.
Gardens and Grounds
Larks’ Cottage enjoys a lovely setting behind stone and cobbled walling leading to the established front garden. The principal gardens lie to the rear and are approached via a private gated driveway leading to a detached garage and ample off-street parking for several vehicles. The walled gardens are a particular feature of this lovely home, framed by charming stone and cobbled walls complementing the house beautifully.The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are bounded by mature specimen trees and established shrub and herbaceous borders. A stone flagged terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and a vegetable garden is discretely positioned towards the bottom of the garden.
Location
Larks' Cottage is nestled in the heart of Studley Roger, a highly desirable village due to the unspoilt nature of its historic and picturesque streetscape and adjacent UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Deer Park, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The dramatic abbey ruins at Fountains Abbey are the largest monastic ruins in the country. The rolling parkland stretches towards the riverside, providing a perfect spot for a picnic. Riverside paths lead to the deer park, home to Red, Fallow and Sika deer. Ancient trees include limes, oaks, and sweet chestnuts. Stunning walks feature the elegant water garden of mirror-like ponds, statues and follies.
Studley Roger, situated a mere 2 miles west of the cathedral City of Ripon, offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and accessibility. Ripon, with its bustling weekly market, enriches the village experience with an excellent range of shops, services, and facilities, creating a harmonious blend of rural charm and urban convenience.Education flourishes locally, boasting an array of schooling options for children of all ages, both state and independent.

01423 578494Why Buchanan Mitchell? Buchanan Mitchell bring something new to the residential sales market. We believe there is a need for a more tailored, bespoke approach to selling houses. Buchanan Mitchell differ from other agents in that we have chosen to manage a smaller portfolio of properties. This enables us to customise our service to meet your needs and invest the time required to ensure that we exceed your expectations. We are available to you whenever you need us. Our client testimonials demonstrate our commitment to providing the highest levels of service. Deborah Mitchell and Georgina Buchanan have over 30 years combined experience in the residential property market. In recent years we have seen significant changes in the dynamics of the housing market and see a real opportunity for a bespoke client focused agency that blends the latest technology with unrivalled levels of client service. “The time was right to set up an estate agency with a difference, rather than attempt to bring the more established agencies kicking and screaming into the 21st century” says Georgina Buchanan. Deborah Mitchell adds “We saw that in a challenging market traditional agencies continue to run large overheads supporting an out of date business model, paying premium rents for prime locations on the High Street and resulting in high operating costs that are unsustainable and can only be maintained through charging inequitable fee structures. We want our clients to pay for our skills and expertise in selling rather than an ability to decorate an expensive showroom. ” We don’t just want to be different; the market was demanding it, and we knew we could deliver. Bringing the finest properties to market and recognising the time pressures of our clients, we utilise state of the art technology, together with an energetic, dedicated and proactive approach. We work tirelessly throughout the buying and selling process and beyond to make deals happen for our clients in these challenging markets.
