Detached house for sale in Marton, Sinnington, York YO62

Dating from the late 18th century, Wildsmith House is one of the oldest and largest farmhouses in the village. Occupying a prominent position at one end of the main street in this traditional North Yorkshire village, the house stands back behind the village green with a driveway leading to the garage and workshop at the rear of the property.

Over the years the house has undergone several transformations, resulting in the distinctive red brick house which stands today. The original attractive bay windows to the front elevation and newly upgraded sash windows ensure plenty of natural light flows throughout the well-proportioned accommodation. At over 3000 square feet, including outbuildings, the property is as spacious as it is handsome, comprising 4 generous bedrooms (2 with en suite bathrooms) and 3 reception rooms, all with working fires, alongside a traditional farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, utility room, cloakroom, pantry, and house bathroom. Beautifully maintained, it offers a blend of characterful features with more recent upgrades, preserving the charm and feel of the original farmhouse within a practical village home.

Wildsmith House enjoys a fabulous position with views over the village green from the front and side aspects. To the rear is a generous private garden with an open rural aspect beyond. Laid predominantly to lawn with a mature hedge and stonewall boundaries, it extends some 50m to the banks of the River Seven on which the owners retain fishing rights. In all, the plot extends to just over half an acre.

Marton is a peaceful and unspoilt village, yet has a very active and social community centred around the village hall. Located just a mile from the A170 Thirsk to Scarborough road, there is easy access to the market towns of Malton, Kirkbymoorside, Pickering and Helmsley which offer an excellent range of shops and everyday services. Schooling is well catered for with primary and secondary schools in Pickering and the highly regarded Ryedale Comprehensive Secondary School in nearby Nawton.
