5 bedroom townhouse for sale

The Brae is a beautiful, five-bedroom Victorian town house located within a short stroll of all Malton’s many amenities. The property is constructed of coursed limestone walls, and its slate roof has been completely stripped and recovered within the last year or so. The Brae enjoys some attractive features, including a two-storey castellated bay window, and internally it has been nicely updated but still retains the fine proportions and original detailing one would expect from a Victorian house, including cornicing, picture rails, heavy panelled doors, a number of fireplaces, and an encaustic tile floor to the entrance hall.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, in addition to a useful cellar. In total the area extends to a little over 2,000sq.ft. A recently built porch opens into a spacious hall with a guest cloakroom to one end. There are two superb reception rooms, each with a fireplace and good quality log burner. The dining kitchen is a light-filled, ‘L’ shaped space with range of integrated appliances and has French doors that open onto a wonderful courtyard garden, which is a securely enclosed sun trap and ideal for entertaining. At the far end of the kitchen is a useful pantry and boot room/utility. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the master having a smart en-suite shower room, and a house bathroom. Bedrooms four and five are located on the top floor and enjoy the best views in the house.

Externally, timber double gates open onto a gravelled drive, with plenty of space to park. The front garden is mostly laid to lawn, along with a shrub border in one corner and a timber summer house in another. The rear courtyard is a large and appealing entertaining space with a tiled floor and south-facing aspect.

A full range of amenities can be found within Malton, including a variety of eateries, independent and high street retailers, good schools and leisure facilities. Broughton Road is situated close to the town centre, and The Brae is easily identified by our ‘For Sale’ board.
