Property description
An attractive, Grade II Listed Georgian property with immaculate accommodation and superb views to the rear.
Situation And Amenities - Middleham is located on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, nestled between two rivers, the Ure and Cover.
The magnificent castle of Middleham has the largest castle keep in the North of England and is steeped in heritage. The centre of the town has a charming cobbled market square with tearooms and galleries, along with pubs, a shop and primary school. Middleham is also famed for its rich horse racing heritage, being home to stables and gallops for leading flat and National Hunt racehorses.
The market town of Leyburn is situated approximately 2 miles away, where there are many excellent local and artisan shops, a weekly outdoor market, filling station, doctor’s surgery, dentist, primary and secondary schools. It is also home to Tennants Auctioneers, on the eastern outskirts of the town.
There are also various independent schools within striking distance including Aysgarth Preparatory School, Queen Mary’s School for girls at Thirsk, Ampleforth, Sedbergh and other excellent independent schools in Harrogate and York.
With Leyburn known as the gateway to the Dales, it benefits hugely from tourism and has good communications and relatively easy access from the A1 at Leeming Bar. The nearest train station is at Northallerton (17 miles) with a regular service on the East Coast Main Line to York, Newcastle, London or Edinburgh. Leeds Bradford (50 miles) is the nearest international airport but there are an increasing number of services now being offered from Teesside Airport (38 miles).
Accommodation - The hallway gives access to the drawing room, which has two shuttered windows with window seats, overlooking the main cobbled square. There is also an attractive, open, cast iron fireplace with stone surround and slate hearth.
The dining kitchen has bespoke solid units with navy frontage, made by Forge Interiors. There are marble tops, a SMEG cooker, integrated appliances, sink and an oak pantry which houses an integrated fridge. The kitchen is open to the garden room which is currently used as a formal dining area and has doors to the private courtyard.
There is a ground floor cloakroom and steps leading down to the cellar, which is a large space separated into several rooms with plumbing for white goods, making it an ideal utility.
To the first floor, there is a half landing with a laundry cupboard and a superb arched window, framing the view over rolling parkland and countryside, which was featured on All Creatures Great and Small.
There are two bedrooms to the first floor, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with an attractive feature fireplace, two sash windows to the front, window seats and shutters, along with an en suite shower room with neutral tiling, Burlington sanitaryware and panelling.

The second floor landing also benefits from an arched window to the rear, along with a loft hatch with drop down ladder. The loft is partially boarded with light connected.
There are two further bedrooms including another substantial bedroom with views over the main square in Middleham, a good range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, with neutral tiling, a bath, shower above, Burlington basin and w.c. The fourth double bedroom is currently used as an office and has fitted furniture, window with open views to the rear and a feature fireplace.

To the rear of the property, there is an attractive, enclosed, stone paved courtyard complete with a water feature, well-stocked flower beds and raised borders, as well as ample space for a seating area.
