PARTICULARS OF SALE
Lying in an elevated position on the edge of Egton village where the road leads down towards Grosmont, Mount Pleasant enjoys a commanding view over the mid Esk Valley and up to the moors beyond. The position is convenient for Whitby, the moors and the coast and the main road makes commuting back to Teesside no great strain.
The House
A period stone house with slated roof, Mount Pleasant is currently arranged with 3 bedrooms and 4 reception rooms. Although some works have been done, this is a house that could benefit from further investment and redecoration. Time has seen some of the original period features removed but there remain some hints of the original style with bits of panelling around some of the windows, older fireplaces and period doors.
Although there is an entrance door facing the road, the front door lies facing onto the driveway and opens into a tiled lobby with a door off to a WC cloakroom which also houses the washing machine. A further door opens through into ...
The dining hallway has a 'Town and Country' multi-fuel stove and is double height with 3 windows to the front and a further small window to the rear, the room has become vaulted by the removal of the apple loft that once ran over it.
An open doorway leads into the kitchen which is fitted with a modern range of units at base and wall level with laminated worktops. The kitchen includes a concealed fridge and dishwasher as well as an oven, hob, cooker hood and stainless steel sink unit.
From the dining room a doorway opens through into a lounge with a window to the rear and a wide bow window to the front looking onto the gardens. The lounge has some exposed stonework for character and a modern feature fireplace with moulded wooden mantel.
A connecting door from the lounge leads through into the music room with windows to the front and rear and the staircase rising to the first floor. A doorway opens to the side hallway which houses the oil central heating boiler as well as having a part glazed external door opening from the steps up off the roadside.
A six panel period door opens from the music room into the snug sitting room, known as the 'Egton Room', which has windows with panelled reveals facing to the front and side and a old cast iron open fireplace with tiled hearth and inserts. This room has moulded cornice and a ceiling rose, plus a shallow recess cupboard.
1st floor:
The staircase rises to a galleried landing with a window to the rear, a hatch to the loft void and doors off to bedroom 1 and the bathroom. A doorway opens into a short corridor with a built-in wardrobe and doors opening to bedrooms 2 and 3.
Bedroom 1 is a double room with a window offering some of the best views over the valley and with 2 small shelved recessed cupboards.
The house bathroom is tiled and fitted with a modern style white suite comprising a panel bath, a separate quardrant shower cubicle with thermostatic shower fitment, a basin set in a vanity unit and a low flush WC.
Bedroom 2 is also a double and has an extensive arrangement of fitted wardrobes and cupboards along the whole of one wall as well as around the bedhead. Bedroom 3 is a single bedroom with a window to the rear looking back across the village and the new building plot which neighbours Mount Pleasant to the west, towards the Delves and Egton Granges.
The Annex
A single storey barn conversion on the northern side of the garden, the annex originally dates from 1915 but was converted in 2000 to the arrangement seen today.
Suitable for family or potentially holiday letting, the annex must remain as part of the house and offers self contained 1 bedroom accommodation.
The half glazed entrance door opens into the fitted kitchen with a doorway opening through into a living room with a feature fireplace and an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. The living room has a second door back onto the patio at the front and both the kitchen and living room make feature of the old animal feed troughs in the outside wall.
A door off the kitchen opens into a hallway lined with storage cupboards. A Velux rooflight faces to the rear and doors open to the Bedroom and into the bathroom which has a window to the front and modern style bathroom suit including a bath with shower over.
The bedroom is a double with a high window facing west in the gable end and a half glazed door opening onto the patio across the front.
Outside
The house and annex stand to the west and north of the driveway respectively - a large, concreted, L-shaped arrangement allowing for parking and turning multiple vehicles with a smart pair of galvanised steel gates.
The gardens in which the house and annex stand total just under half an acre and are primarily laid to lawns interspersed with a number of trees. The garden is terraced above the level of the passing village road affording some privacy.
The northeast corner of the garden has been part paved and part gravelled for ease of maintenance and to create an attractive seating area with a small shed for storage. The garden at this point is bounded by low dry stone walls and with the trees offering dappled shade there are some lovely views down the Esk Valley towards Sleights and Whitby.
The Workshop and Store
Lying between the house and the annex this useful building is part stone and part rendered block under a pantile roof. The main section has sliding double doors and a window to the front measuring 22'8 x 14'6 internally with a separate door into a shelved store (10' x 5'6) leant onto the side. Electric light and power connected.
A small kennel adjoining to the north side of the building is now used as a wood store with stone walls and pantile roof.
Lot 2
Lot 2 comprises of 2 fields of grazing, totalling 2.95 acres on the opposite side from the house and annex. The house looks down across the land which is gently sloping and south facing with a gate providing good access directly off the council maintained road. Within the field are a number of small temporary animal shelters.
The septic tank system for the house lies adjacent to the roadside in the top paddock. The sale of this lot will be subject to a clawback clause should it be developed the terms of which are set out below.
