3 bedroom detached house

Everley House is an especially attractive detached cottage, which offers deceptively spacious and characterful accommodation with a pretty, walled rear garden.

The property is thought to date back around 200 years, starting life as a row of small cottages and later amalgamated as a single cottage of considerable appeal. Constructed principally of solid limestone walls, beneath a slate roof, it has been comprehensively renovated over the years without losing any of its inherent charm.

The accommodation, which benefits from oil-fired central heating and majority double-glazing, is arranged over two floors and extends to well over 2,000sq.ft. In brief it comprises reception hallway, guest cloakroom, sitting room with multi-fuel stove, study, 27ft kitchen/dining room, conservatory, and a utility room/workshop. To the first floor is a master bedroom with spacious en-suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms and a house shower room.

To the rear of Everley House is a south-facing walled garden, which enjoys complete privacy and features, lawn, shrub borders, block paved paths and patio areas. To the front of the property is an attractive border stocked with a variety of flowering shrubs and perennials, whilst an area of hardstanding offers space to park one car off the road.

Ampleforth is one of North Yorkshire’s best-loved villages. Nestled into a hillside, it sits within particularly attractive countryside between the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village features an attractive mix of period, stone houses and benefits from a surprising number of amenities including village shop and post office, two good pubs, a coffee shop, Doctor’s surgery, a primary school and Ampleforth College. The Georgian market town of Helmsley is only 4 miles away and benefits from a wide range of facilities. The other three Ryedale market towns are all within an easy drive and the City of York is some 19 miles south.
