Heaton house, YO51

Heaton House is a beautiful country dwelling set in 7 acres
of picturesque mature parkland gardens and rolling country
views offering a rural feel, yet a few minutes drive from the
pretty town of Boroughbridge.

The property is in excellent condition and does not require any immediate spend to move in and enjoy unlike most character homes on the market. This property was refurbished by the current owners to an exacting standard to include not just the things you can see but levels of insulation etc making the home more than sensible to run.

Situated a short drive from
Junction 48 A1(M) providing excellent road connections to all
major Yorkshire conurbations & Commercial Centres.
Accessed via a sweeping drive which meanders through the
very private mature parkland grounds. The house oozes
character throughout and is certainly a beautiful building.
Currently the house is divided into two dwellings (the owners
did not require all the accommodation), thus creating
separate private guest or staff accommodation. Both parts of
the house can be very easily reunited giving 5 bedroom 5
bathroom layout. The main house has a traditional feel with
five large reception rooms featuring beautiful moulded plaster
work, deep skirting boards, bespoke internal doors with
architives & large windows allowing plentiful natural light

On entry to the main residence the commanding bifurcated
sapele hard wood staircase leads to the minstrel gallery,
being below the leaded light glazed atrium which casts
natural light through the two storey entrance hall. From the
hall, the Clive Christian fully equipped kitchen, including
Aga, is found which flows well into the formal dining room
with feature fireplace, window seating & south facing views.

There are a further three south facing reception rooms to the
ground floor. The wonderful formal drawing room is large yet
has a cosy feel with feature fireplace and two full height
Georgian bay windows. This triple aspect room offers
beautiful views in all directions, and access to the south
facing sun terrace via french doors. The sitting room, is also
ideally located to enjoy the vista to the gardens, also offering
access to the sun terrace via french doors.

The ground floor is completed with the family room currently used a s a
gentleman's snooker room, with feature marble fireplace &
"Clearview Vision 500" multi fuel stove. This room currently
features a three quarter size snooker/pool table, a bar
billiards table, and adjoining recessed bar area.

The sectioned off cottage on the ground floor level offers a
lounge, large fully equipped kitchen/dining room & utility.
From the lounge there is access to the first floor by separate
staircase.

Back to the main house, the first floor boasts three large
double bedrooms, all ensuite, with the highlight being a
magnificent Clive Christian principle suite with double aspect
bedroom, a large dressing room & bathroom, all being south
facing. There is a balcony accessed from the dressing room
via french doors.

The second bedroom, again dual aspect,
has an ensuite with freestanding Clawfoot Slipper bath &
high level cistern toilet. The third bathroom offers a Villeroy &
Boch steam & shower cubicle, a corner jacuzzi bath etc.

The first floor of the sectioned off cottage offers a very large
bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a second bedroom & house
bathroom.

The cottage would work well for dependant relatives or
perhaps growing children seeking more independence. It
would also work perfectly for self contained guest or staff
accommodation.

Alternatively, a simple modification will
release this back to the original position, creating five
bedrooms, five bathrooms along with further living space to
the ground floor level.

The major attraction to this unique home is that it will suit a
couple, a family, or indeed multi-generation family living.

A wonderful safe space for children, pets and adults alike,
the gardens are a true delight with numerous established
feature trees & must be seen to be appreciated. There is a
large sun terrace, water garden, secret areas throughout and
a stunning rockery. A traditional grass tennis court which is
encompassed by mature Yew hedging.

For those with an interest in equine activities, there i s
(adjoining the garden) an opportunity of paddock land, laid to
grass, which the vendor would potentially rent/sell by
separate negotiation. There is existing access from this land
to a bridleway which runs around the perimeter of the 60
acre Heaton Park estate & allows hacking access to Marton
cum Grafton & Aldborough or further afield or a wonderful dog walk from your doorstep!

Boroughbridge is a bustling North Yorkshire town with all the
amenities you would expect to find, a large supermarket,
together with an excellent range of independent specialist
shops. Some of North yorkshire's very finest public and
private schools, such as Queen Marys, Queen Ethelburgh's
& Cundall Manor, are within a short drive. Local railway
stations of Kirk Hammerton & Cattal provide connection to
main line stations of York & Leeds, giving fast & regular
services to London & Scotland. Regular domestic &
International flights are readily available from either
Leeds/Bradford International or Teeside airports. The property
is very well placed for the North Yorkshire Dales, Moors &
the East Coast which offer stunning walks & scenery.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate this hidden treasure.
