About the Property

Property Details
The property
Grove House is a substantial and distinctive family home offering generous accommodation, excellent ancillary space and extensive gardens. The house combines well-proportioned reception rooms with a flexible layout that works equally well for family life, entertaining and those requiring additional independent accommodation.
The reception hall provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms. The living room is a particularly comfortable space, with double doors opening directly onto the rear garden and a multi-fuel stove set within a brick inglenook. The adjoining dining room is of impressive proportions and offers considerable flexibility, with ample space for both formal dining and a further sitting or entertaining area. Further glazed doors provide another direct connection with the garden.
The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a handmade oak range of cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a substantial central island. A separate breakfast area sits to the rear, overlooking the garden and creating a more informal everyday dining space. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The first floor provides four bedrooms arranged around a well-proportioned landing. The principal bedroom is a generous double room overlooking the rear garden, with two further double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom suitable for use as a single bedroom, nursery or study. The family bathroom is fitted with a large bath, walk-in shower, WC and vanity unit.
A particularly valuable feature of Grove House is the separate two-bedroom holiday cottage positioned to the rear of the main house. Rather than simply providing ancillary accommodation, the cottage is an established and fully operational holiday-let business generating regular income. It is professionally managed through a management agency which deals with the marketing, bookings, guest enquiries, payments and associated administration, providing a well-established income stream which may be continued by a purchaser.
The cottage provides genuine independent accommodation with its own entrance vestibule, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Its position separate from the main house gives guests a good degree of independence and privacy, while also offering longer-term flexibility for extended family or other uses, subject to any necessary consents.
Outside, Grove House is set within generous gardens to both the front and rear. The gravelled driveway provides extensive parking and access to the existing large garage, which offers useful vehicle, workshop and general storage space.
A further significant benefit is the grant of full planning permission for the construction of a detached double garage and workshop to the front of Grove House. North Yorkshire Council approved the application on 15 December 2025 under planning reference ZB25/01927/FUL, giving a purchaser the opportunity to further enhance the already considerable garaging, workshop and storage provision.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, with a broad expanse of lawn, established borders, a substantial patio area and pond. Its south-westerly aspect makes the most of the afternoon and evening sun, while direct access from the principal reception rooms allows the garden to work particularly well with the living accommodation during the warmer months.
For buyers looking for a substantial village home with space, privacy and flexibility, Grove House offers an unusual combination. Alongside the four-bedroom principal residence are extensive gardens, excellent garaging and workshop provision, approved plans for a further detached double garage and workshop, and an established two-bedroom holiday-let business providing an additional income opportunity.
