Find Out A Little More... - Norcliffe House is constructed of limestone under a pantile roof and features brick arches framing the Yorkshire sliding sash windows. Link-attached, it displays an abundance of period features that give it great character, including stripped wooden floors, original recessed cupboards and alcove shelving, panelled doors with their original fittings, and deep walls with window seats.

At the heart of the house lies the kitchen/dining room, with the living rooms positioned either side. Designed as a welcoming family space, it enjoys an east–west aspect with a window seat providing a charming outlook down the village street, alcove storage and a handsome elliptical brick-arched fireplace housing a log-burning stove. The space is cleverly arranged to accommodate both a breakfast table and a seating area.

The kitchen itself has been recently fitted with solid hardwood worktops and an island unit with a granite worktop, Belfast sink and integrated appliances, along with space for an American-style fridge freezer. It is complemented by a practical utility room and a useful wc.

The sitting room, extending to nearly 22 feet, centres around a wood-burning stove set within a brick fireplace and is filled with light from its south- and west-facing windows, both with window seats. The snug, recently renovated, offers a charming additional living space; it comes with an external door and views over the garden, and features a lovely cast-iron kitchen range discreetly recessed in the corner.

Stone steps descend to a sizeable cellar offering good head height and a south-facing window. It provides useful storage and offers significant potential for conversion into a games room, family room, or home office.

The bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors, each level accessed via a wide staircase. The principal suite occupies the second floor, enjoys south-facing light and the benefit of high ceilings that rise into the roof space, with useful eaves storage. It includes a shower room and a dressing room, which could equally serve as a nursery or occasional bedroom. On the first floor, three generous double bedrooms - all with south- or west-facing windows – and a well-appointed house bathroom are arranged off the central landing.

Outside - A delightful family garden lies to the side of the house, accessed from the snug and through a garden gate set within the high stone Estate wall. It is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by a variety of shrubs and trees, and includes a useful timber shed. A generous gravel terrace provides an ideal spot for sitting out and enjoying views across the garden, which is attractively framed by a trellis adorned with a climbing rose.

A parking area for two cars is situated just beyond the prominent gatepost leading to Langton Hall, off a shared private roadway.
