5 bedroom house

An outstanding detached 4 bed property with a separate annexe, almost 2 acres and stabling in a rural but highly accessible location between York and Easingwold.

Outstanding detached bungalow with separate annexe and stabling in a rural but highly accessible location. Broad Acres has been significantly extended, remodelled and updated by the current owners to create a superb house purpose built for contemporary, ground floor living. With its old beams, high vaulted ceilings, large windows and deep sills, this bright modern house is styled with great character.

A great asset to the property is the detached annexe which is luxuriously appointed and makes ideal guest accommodation. It also presents opportunities for multiple generations living within the same household as well as holiday rental.

The whole sits within nearly two acres of landscaped gardens and grounds all beautifully planted and maintained, including a stable block and small paddock. The location is rural with no near neighbours and far-reaching views that stretch to the Kilburn White Horse on the northern hills.

A high specification finish is evident throughout the principal house with oak windows and a set of French doors, quality bathroom fittings including a Bisque Arteplano copper radiator, and a top of the range security system.

The country Pippy Oak kitchen was supplied and fitted in 2018 by Woodhouse in Harrogate and includes Neff appliances, multi-fuel Rayburn, granite worktops, pantry, and underfloor heating below the stone flags. There is ample space for an eight-seater dining table, a triptych of windows and French doors on to the garden terrace.

The formal dining room has southerly views to the glorious church spire at Newton on Ouse and a 22ft sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, has French doors that open on to the rear garden terrace.

In a sunny spot of the garden, the luxurious, eco-friendly annexe offers additional accommodation and options for generating income. Its running costs are covered by the solar panels and air source heat pump.

Outside
The wisteria clad house sits behind a low hedge and lawned front garden. Stone setts lead to sliding remote-controlled electric gates and a gravel driveway passes a garage with store behind which lies a pergola holding a bountiful grape vine. The driveway sweeps to the rear of the property providing ample space for turning and the parking of multiple vehicles. The house itself sits well within its large plot, the gardens bounded by established hedging and rabbit-proof, dog secure fencing. The formal garden sits immediately behind the house and is contained within a low brick wall; predominantly laid to lawn it has well-stocked borders, a large stone terrace, alpine rockery of Malham limestone and a lavender border that skirts the path to the summer house. A metal field gate opens to the western side of the property where there is a productive orchard (apple, pear, plum, cherry and apricot) and a large wildlife pond and jetty with a water feature landscaped with West Yorkshire sandstone. Its grassy banks are underplanted with spring bulbs. The stable block sits on the eastern paddock

Outbuildings
The detached brick-built annexe (circa 2014) with pantile roof totals some 1000 sq ft and sits at the rear of the garden. It is fed by air source heat pump technology and solar panels. The bold, stylish interior with large, anthracite grey steel windows is swathed in natural light and from the mezzanine snug is a wonderful view to the Kilburn White Horse. There is underfloor heating, an Amtico floor, a large wood-burning stove and French doors that open to a stone terrace shielded by a steel and glass canopy. The bespoke, handmade kitchen was fitted by The Main Company in Green Hammerton.

Currently used as a store, the brick-built stable block comprises two adjoining stables with power and light. Solar panels have been fitted on the pantile roof.

The oak-framed open double garage with pantile roof has an attached log store.

The brick-built summer house with slate roof has power and light, and faces due south.
