Outside
The approach to Ganders Green is classic Lastingham; over a cattle grid to keep the local roaming sheep out of the garden. There is plenty of parking to the side of the house as well as two good size stone-built garages and a greenhouse. The house is surrounded on two sides with a York stone flagged patio, and the rest of the garden faces south and is mainly laid to lawn with a combination of fruit trees and well-stocked borders.
Environs
Lastingham is one of the prettiest and most desirable villages in North Yorkshire, nestled in a wooded valley on the edge of the North York Moors. It has a particularly special 11th century church and a notable local pub, the Blacksmith’s Arms. It takes less than ten minutes to walk onto the Moors, ten minutes into Lastingham and twenty minutes into Hutton le Hole. Public footpaths and bridleways as well as superb shooting, fishing and hunting opportunities lie close at hand.
Lastingham’s quiet rural position belies its proximity to the major market towns of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside which offer a broad range of shops, pubs, hotels and recreational facilities. Malton railway station has a connection to the Mainline East Coast service to York where London Kings Cross can be reached in less than 2 hours. York is approximately a 50 minute drive to the south and the highly regarded Ampleforth College lies only 15 miles away.
