A beautifully presented period residence of considerable charm in the sought-after village of Crayke.
Description
Danetree is a handsome period home with an attractive façade that belies the surprisingly generous and versatile accommodation within.
The property is entered via a striking reception hall. To one side is a superb fitted library featuring bespoke shelving and an original fireplace, beautifully restored to create a warm and characterful retreat. Opposite, a welcoming snug enjoys a log-burning stove and charming cast iron bread oven set beneath a substantial mantelpiece.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. A striking timber-framed glazed elevation, with double doors opening directly onto the garden, creates a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Benefiting from underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove, this exceptional room can be enjoyed throughout the year. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry, quality worktops and a generous central island, complemented by an excellent range of integrated appliances. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, while an abundance of natural light makes this the ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining.
A practical utility room and cloakroom add convenience, while a secondary staircase provides access to the upper floors. The ground-floor bedroom is served by a shower room, making it well suited for guests or multi-generational living. In addition, a pleasant home office offers flexibility and could equally serve as an additional bedroom if required.
The first floor provides two delightful bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing room. Bedroom two enjoys direct access to a well-appointed family bathroom. On the second floor, a spacious attic bedroom offers excellent versatility and could be used as a teenager's retreat, creative studio or hobby room, while also providing valuable storage space. The attic has plumbing in place for the creation of an en suite bathroom, subject to requirements.
Outside, the charming cottage-style gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of attractive seating areas. Lawns are bordered by colourful planting, flowering borders and established climbers, while a greenhouse and garden store further enhance the outdoor space. On-street parking is available to the front of the property next to the common.
Location
The property is located on the periphery of Crayke, a popular village with an excellent pub and primary school. Positioned on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the house is surrounded by some of the country's most beautiful landscape.
Easingwold is the nearest market town (about three miles) and has good local amenities including a secondary school and supermarket. Thirsk (about 13 miles) has direct train services to London, some making the journey in as little as two hours fifteen minutes. York is about 15 miles to the south and has extensive facilities including its historic minster, train station and racecourse.

There are several local independent schools nearby including Ampleforth College, Terrington Prep School, Cundall Manor and Queen Ethelburga's College. There are further independent schools in York: The Mount, Bootham and St Peters.

In addition, there is Skosh by Neil Bentinck which also boasts a Michelin-star, positioned on popular Micklegate alongside a number of independent shops, pubs, cafes and hairdressers.
