Walton House is a substantial double fronted period house of immense charm and character, the original part of which is early Victorian with a later extension to form a doctors’ surgery and is one of Northallerton’s most recognisable properties. It is prominently situated on South Parade which is an attractive tree lined avenue and one of Northallerton’s most sought after and convenient locations lying within a conservation area just minutes’ walk from the town centre and the main line rail station.
The house offers exceptionally spacious, well appointed accommodation with elegant proportions typical of the era and retains many original period features including a wealth of exposed ceiling beams and fireplaces including a superb Inglenook fireplace in the Drawing Room. It includes Entrance Hall, three Reception Rooms, Study Area, Breakfast Kitchen, Utility, useful Two Room Cellar, Five Double Bedrooms and Two Bathrooms, one being ensuite. Gas central heating is installed together with some double glazing. Outside there is a good size back garden which is largely walled with a large brick built Summer House and a full width raised timber Sun Deck across the rear of the house. There is also a driveway and Detached Garage. An internal inspection is recommended.
