7 bed detached house for sale

Carlton Husthwaite, Thirsk, North Yorkshire YO7

A remarkable Grade II listed 17th century Hall with land and outbuildings.

Description
Carlton Hall dates back to the late 17th century, with later 18th and 19th century additions. This gracious house stands on a plot of just over three acres of mature gardens and land in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Carlton Husthwaite. The property benefits from sweeping vistas across the manicured croquet lawn, wild flower meadows and paddocks to the rear, with delightful views towards The iconic White Horse.

A grand entrance hall gives way to two classically proportioned reception rooms, a study and the inviting kitchen on the ground floor. The Victorian extension to the rear creates a most impressive galleried stairway which opens to a terrace overlooking the croquet lawn and a mezzanine level sitting room complete with French fireplace.

Across the first and second floor there are seven bedrooms and three house bathrooms.

Steps from the entrance hall lead down to the lower ground accommodation which houses a number of sizeable rooms which would make excellent gym, games or cinema rooms along with a generous wine cellar. This level enjoys direct access to the garden.

The east wing of the property was formerly used as annexed accommodation and has recently undergone a number of renovation works. It is now a blank canvas for the new occupiers to use as they wish; lending itself to additional accommodation for family, guests, staff or as a possible business venture.

There are a range of brick-built outbuildings including the original dovecote, stables and storage sheds.

The gardens are testament to many years of planning, hard work and management. Principally laid down to lawn, with colourful beds, mature trees and areas of wild meadow, extending to fenced paddocks.

Location
Carlton Hall occupies a prime position in the heart of the unspoilt rural village of Carlton Husthwaite, itself located only a short distance away from the western edge of the renowned Hambleton Hills and just outside the North York Moors National Park. Indeed, from the property one may see quite clearly the famous White Horse of Kilburn which provides a most stunning and attractive backdrop to the garden.

The property lies just one mile east of the main A19 York-Teesside trunk road thereby making for quick and easy access to the A1 Great North Road, the wider motorway network and the commercial centres of Teesside and the West Riding. There are main line railway stations at York, Northallerton and Thirsk providing services to London (York to King’s Cross is 1hr 45 minutes at best), Newcastle and Edinburgh as well as the Transpennine route. There is a good domestic and international service from both Teesside and Leeds/Bradford airports. There is a full range of local services in both Thirsk (6 miles) and Helmsley (11 miles) as well as those available in the popular Georgian market town of Easingwold (6 miles) where there is a well regarded comprehensive school. Also readily available to the east is the well known public school of Ampleforth College where there is a sports centre offering a wide range of facilities to the general public.
