A character-filled village home that was originally a farmhouse dating back to the 16th century, is on the market for £725,000.
Manor House, Manor Farm is located in the popular village of Scotton and is Grade II listed. With four bedrooms, private landscaped gardens and beamed ceilings and walls, the family home has plenty of appeal, according to senior associate and manager of Dacres in Knaresborough, Nick Alcock.
Nick said: “Manor House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful, charming and characterful property in the highly regarded village of Scotton. We understand that the property was a former farmhouse, which was converted around 2000. With a delightful interior and wooden beams throughout, the property has been sympathetically refurbished to deliver all the luxuries of 21st century living alongside the historic features.”
Manor House includes a reception hall with guest cloakroom, a superb open plan living area with a sitting room which has a walk-in inglenook fireplace and opens out to a well-proportioned dining area. This through room is full of natural light and there are views over the attractive cottage gardens to both the front and back of the house. With a further reception room, which is currently used as an office, there is also a newly refitted dining kitchen with timbered ceilings and a stable door leads onto the back garden.
As well as an attractive first floor galleried landing, upstairs is the principal bedroom, which has an en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a house bathroom. Outside there is a cottage style front garden with flowering trees and shrubs and a landscaped back garden with lawned areas and flowerbeds.
The property is set back from the road, at the rear double gates lead onto a brick paved driveway, which provides off street parking as well as leading to a double garage. Nick added: “This is such a pretty house with attractive gardens and a great location in Scotton, which is well known for its popular pub and restaurant, The Guy Fawkes Arms. The fact that Knaresborough, and all its amenities, are only a short drive away also adds to the appeal.”
