4 bedroom house for sale

Situated between the North Yorkshire Moors villages of Cloughton and Staintondale, Wyke Lodge occupies an enviably peaceful and private position just 1.5 miles inland from the stunning coastline. Approached from the quiet country lane via a discreet driveway, the house sits above enchanting gardens filled with mature trees and shrubs, Hayburn Beck meandering alongside the lower terrace. A charming wooden footbridge crosses the beck, rising through the garden to the entrance.

The property was constructed as a modest Victorian residence in 1887. Over the years, various extensions and alterations have resulted in the far more significant house which stands today. Its distinctive facade displays impressive architectural features, thoughtfully designed to complement the original character of the building. Internally, the accommodation has been carefully maintained and enhanced, preserving its heritage whilst adapting to suit modern living. Fabulous wood panelling, exposed beams and stained-glass windows are displayed in many of the rooms, alongside feature fireplaces and wooden flooring.

Plenty of natural light flows throughout the house, the principal rooms enjoying double aspect views over the gardens. Well-balanced, the living space comprises a traditional breakfast-kitchen with separate utility and pantry, living room and snug room, positioned around an impressive entrance hallway. There are 4 bedrooms on the first floor; the master suite a more recent addition showcasing a fabulous, pitched roof with full-height windows and French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the gardens. The 3 further double bedrooms are served by the house bathroom, with an additional bathroom located on the ground floor.

The grounds extend to just over 2 acres, a formal garden with paved terraces and manicured lawns gently sloping down to a denser woodland area, well-stocked with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. Beautifully nurtured and well-tended, a real haven for gardeners and wildlife enthusiasts.
Adjacent to the carport and driveway, there is a garage and a useful garden shed.
