Here there are a range of custom made painted wood units, a fireplace with enameled wood burning stove and windows to the rear overlooking the gardens and fields beyond. A door connects through to the Utility Room and double doors open into an impressive Conservatory.On the first floor, doors from a large landing lead to four double bedrooms and a House Bathroom with traditional white suite and separate shower. The master bedroom has an En-suite Bathroom and also features a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes.Externally, the house is approached via a block-paved driveway providing ample off street parking and, in turn, giving access to the Single Garage.There are mature gardens at the front of the property whilst at the rear the lawned garden features well-stocked borders and a pleasant open outlook across the adjoining fields. A substantial brick built outbuilding provides useful storage or workshop space.
Location
Skipwith is a charming village, well placed for the commuter with quick and easy access to the main motorway networks. The M62 is only just over 10 miles away as are the main line railway stations at Howden and York (both having direct trains to Kings Cross.) The village has a church and pub and there are schools and local shops in the neighbouring villages of Escrick and North Duffield. Skipwith is famous for its common, a national nature reserve and site of special scientific interest, which provides beautiful walks on the doorstep of Harlequin House.
What The Seller Says
\"This lovely house with bundles of character was my home for 10 years. It is luxurious and comfortable, in a beautiful location. As an incomer to the village I found the community both friendly and welcoming, and there are plenty of local events at which to get to know people. Skipwith Common is simply beautiful, and always changing. Harlequin House is the perfect home for a family, with or without animals, and offers great access to all the major routes in each direction. And in a proximity to York, which is immune from flooding!\"
