Property description
Of particular appeal to those with equestrian interests, Low Ingram Grange is a delightful detached country house which stands on its own in gardens and land extending to approximately 11.5 acres (4.656 ha) approached over a long grassed driveway with mature oak trees alongside and set well back from the Appleton Wiske to Welbury road in a delightful rural setting surrounded by farmland. It enjoys superb views to the Cleveland Hills and distant Yorkshire Dales, yet is only half a mile outside the village. Appleton Wiske is a popular and conveniently located village lying within easy reach of Northallerton, Darlington and Teesside with a good range of local amenities including an active community centre, sports club, two Inns, a local shop and a Primary School. There is easy access to the A19 trunk road and the national road network and East Coast main line rail stations at both Darlington and Northallerton (Kings Cross 2½ hours). Durham/Tees valley airport is also a short drive away.
The house has recently been extended by the present owners and now offers excellent family accommodation of considerable character which includes three reception rooms, a farmhouse style breakfast kitchen, utility / boot room, five bedrooms, two shower rooms and house bathroom. Oil fired central heating is installed together with custom made double glazed wood windows.
Outside there is a extensive parking around the house with lawned gardens and flat grassland which lies mainly to the south and west of the house and is complemented by a comprehensive range of outbuildings which provide garaging, stabling and storage.
