Description

Believed to date back to the mid 18th century, this traditional village property known as Abbey House lies at the foot of Oswaldkirk Hagg with a south facing garden and views across the valley beyond.

A cherished family home for over 50 years, the property has a wealth of character including sash windows, window seats, period fireplaces, exposed timbers and many more characteristics one would expect in a property of this era.

Whilst in a Conservation Area, the house is not Listed. It provides nearly 2,000 sqft. of versatile living accommodation arranged over two floors with two comfortable sitting rooms either side of the entrance hall, both with open fires. A more modern extension in the form of a light and sunny kitchen/dining/living room across the back of the house leads through to a large conservatory with a private outlook across the garden. Also on the ground floor is a useful shelved pantry, a bathroom (including shower) plus steps down to a small cellar.

The four bedrooms on the first floor are connected by two staircases and each bedroom has good storage by way of fitted wardrobes or cupboards. There are access points to the loft which is partly boarded and insulated.

There is plenty going on on the outside too with vehicular access from the village street to a series of stone outbuildings at the rear providing garage space and storage. The well established garden includes seating areas, herbaceous borders, lawn and the entire outside area is well screened by specimen trees.

In summary a comfortable home with plenty of character likely to appeal to a wide audience and in a sought after village location in the heart of the Howardian Hills.
