5 bedroom house

One of two newly converted barn, with brick and timber-clad elevations and a design reflecting its agricultural setting, Swallows Nest offers stylish, light and airy interiors, with an open ambience creating a relaxed atmosphere for a modern lifestyle. The generous reception hall is filled with natural light courtesy of full height glazing around the entrance doorway and skylight windows to the vaulted ceiling. Wood-floor covering extends from the hall into the impressive kitchen/living room providing practicality and pleasing sense of uniformity. The lofty ceiling in this sociable setting ensures a bright and airy environment where there is ample room for seating alongside French doors to the terrace affording a seamless link from the inside to the outside. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry, topped with wood work surfaces, the kitchen is centred around a range stove with exposed brick and timber lintel and attractive tiled splashback. A breakfast bar unit creates a functional divide to an area for a dining table.

With vistas to enjoy from the windows, the property has the potential to provide five bedrooms, with flexible options to offer a further sitting room, or home-working retreat, with French doors which give access to the outside. Two of the bedrooms have smart en-suite facilities, with an ultra-modern family bathroom providing a bath tub and a shower cubicle. Ancillary space is provided by a utility room with an external door.

Swallows Nest enjoys a picturesque and tranquil position in the North Yorkshire landscape whilst also being within easy reach of Nunthorpe. The village has a thriving community with everyday needs provided by a local store, nursery school, medical centre and restaurant. Leisure pursuits are accommodated by a local recreation centre offering squash, tennis, bowls and football clubs and the surrounding countryside is a haven for walking and cycling. Nunthorpe train station provides journeys to Middlesbrough town centre, which lies on the southern banks of the River Tees. The town provides a comprehensive range of retail and leisure amenities and for road users, easy access to the A19 and A66, allowing travel across the northeast. There is a range of well-regarded schooling in the vicinity, including the Keys Tees Valley School and the leading independent Yarm School.

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway to a parking area alongside the entrance doorway, where a length of paving adjoins the home. Laid to lawn, the garden extends to approx. 0.5 acres and features post and rail fencing to the boundaries affording an open outlook and a sense of a ‘borrowed landscape’. A raised deck terrace, with balustrade surround, offers opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the south-easterly aspect and glorious views over farmland to trees and undulating terrain in the distance.

There is an opportunity to purchase additional land/outbuildings by separate negotiation.
