DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
An exceptional gentleman's residence, set within 5.5 acres of grounds and land and situated in a wonderful rural position with a superb open aspect. Skell Dikes Lodge has been creatively reimagined by the current owner with a design which fulfilled two briefs, one to create a sizable family home with a forward-thinking approach to renewable energy and efficiency. The new design took a 1930's brick farmhouse and doubled the floor area, which now provides over 3,000 square feet of accommodation in total. The property is underfloor heated to both floors, via a ground source heating and has 16, ground standing solar panels which supplement the electric as well as providing an annual income of around £2,000. A further 15 panels are in the process of being fitted.
The second brief was to design a property which capitalised on the location. Skell Dike Lodge is situated on the southern most boundary of the North York Moors National Park, on Irton Moor with a far reaching and uninterrupted aspect across to Bempton cliffs to the east and stretching towards the Yorkshire Wolds in the distance. The eastern wing of the house comprises a striking, light-filled contemporary extension with floor-to-ceiling glass façade which enjoys dramatic views across open countryside
In brief the accommodation comprises; entrance hall with cloakroom, dual aspect drawing room with open fire, breakfast kitchen with separate utility room, sitting room, conservatory/dining room and garden room. Over the drawing room is an impressive master suite of rooms, currently arranged as a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a separate library and study. To the main body of the house are a further three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a main shower room.
Skell Dike Lodge sits in an elevated position and is set within landscaped mature garden and grounds, which combine formal garden, orchard, vegetable and soft fruit gardens. There is ample parking and large double garage. In total the property is situated within 5.5 acres, of which 3.5 acres comprises grass paddocks.
LOCATION
Skell Dike Lodge is situated along a private road, shared with just two neighbours, located off Moor Lane, to the north of the well served twin villages of East and West Ayton. Scarborough lies only four miles distant and the property is particularly well placed for Seamer train station which lies only four miles away and provides a regular connection to York, from which all mainline services can found. London is only 2 hours distant by train from York.
