Property description
This unique property is an attached Period House of immense character being part of the former Rectory of the parish of Danby Wiske occupying a truly delightful site which extends to over three quarters of an acre or thereabouts and is bounded by a water filled moat which affords natural habitat for an abundance of wildlife. The moat is believed to be Mediaeval in origin on the site of the original Manor House or possibly a Monastery and the grounds are listed by English Heritage whilst the existing house is believed to date from around 1700 with more recent additions. It lies just outside the village of Danby Wiske on the road to Yafforth, approximately four miles north west of Northallerton and enjoys a delightful rural setting adjoining open farmland. Danby Wiske is also on the route of the Coast to Coast Walk and it is considered there is potential for Bed and Breakfast business as we understand there is a shortage of accommodation in the village.
Offering extremely spacious Five Bedroom accommodation on three floors this charming property is tastefully appointed and has the benefit of oil fired central heating and upvc double glazed windows throughout. Outside there is a return driveway and forecourt with Attached Double Garage. The gardens are a particular feature laid mainly to lawns bounded by the moat and with well stocked borders with a profusion of shrubs and established mature trees.
