LOCATION

Kirby Hill House is situated in the traditional heart of the village, within a short walk of the church, primary school and the Blue Bell Inn. It is conveniently located just 1½ miles to the north of the thriving market town of Boroughbridge, which offers an excellent range of everyday facilities including a variety of independent shops, butchers, hairdressers, pubs and restaurants and a Morrisons supermarket. Access to the recently upgraded A1(M) is nearby and Intercity rail services to London's Kings Cross operate from mainline stations in Harrogate, Thirsk and York.

THE PROPERTY

Kirby Hill House is an impressive and attractive Grade II listed detached property which occupies a discreet and little known position within the village. The property was formerly the vicarage to The Church of All Saints and was constructed in 1839 for the then vicar, the Reverend T Allanson. The property occupies a lovely private setting amidst gardens and grounds extending to about 3.3 acres (1.34 ha) and enjoys lovely views over open countryside to the south and east.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to just over 3,400 sqft (316 sqm) of living space. On the ground floor there are four well proportioned reception rooms together with a sizeable breakfast kitchen and a utility room.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. In addition, there is a self contained annexe, within the neighbouring coach house, which provides excellent ancillary accommodation for visiting guests and relatives or which could be utilised as an income generating holiday let.

OUTSIDE

The setting which the property occupies is particularly appealing, being very private and virtually hidden from public view. Approached via a tree lined drive, there is a circular sweep to the front with a central lawn. The principal garden lies to the south and east of the property with sweeping lawned areas to both sides. Beyond are the paddocks, bounded by a Ha-Ha which splits the formal gardens from the grazing land. There is a fenced tennis court to the south west. Neighbouring the property is the former coach house, which is a short walk across an enclosed courtyard. Within the courtyard is the double garage and an adjoining garden store.
