Description

This beautifully finished five bedroom house sits on the periphery of the prime North Yorkshire village of Helmsley, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Built in 2015, this impressive house has been built to exacting standards with a spacious and well thought out layout. The property sits behind an attractive front garden encased by a dry stone wall.

The ground floor layout has been designed with modern living in mind; the spacious entrance hall gives way to a generous sitting room extending the width of the house, with bi-fold doors opening to the garden. Double doors open to the dining room, a flexible space that would work equally well as a snug, playroom or study.

The shaker style kitchen is particularly spacious, adorned with plenty of cupboards, built in quality appliances, granite worktops and freestanding central island unit. There is ample space for a dining table. Bi-fold doors open to the patio, perfect for entertaining in the summer months. The utility room sits just off from the kitchen.

The first floor comprises five bedrooms, most notably the principal bedroom suite which has the advantage of an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobe. There are three further double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom suite. Bedroom five is currently used as a study.

To the rear of the property there is a lawned garden with patio area. The double garage sits at the bottom of the garden. Part of the garage has been partitioned to create an insulated room with multiple power points, ideal for a number of different uses. There is parking for two cars to the front of the garage as well as visitor parking at the entrance of the development.
