The village of Osmotherley is a highly popular village on the western fringes of the North York Moors National Park. It is well served by a thriving local shop and a post office (open three mornings a week), primary school, tearoom and two traditional pubs.

The wider area provides numerous additional services with a local garage, and it is easily accessible to nearby towns including Stokesley, Northallerton and Yarm where there are a full range of shops, professional services, restaurants, leisure facilities and supermarkets.

It is particularly accessible being less than 5 minutes from the A19. Northallerton train station is on the East Coast Main Line providing regular services north to Newcastle and Edinburgh and south to York and London (in under 2 ½ hours). Leeds and Harrogate are both within commuting distance. Teesside Airport is about 10 miles away with a widening schedule of destinations across the UK and continental Europe.

The North York Moors offers a host of outdoor activities with an extensive list of walks and trails and both the Cleveland Way and Coast to Coast Path pass by the village. There are many opportunities for cycling, riding and hacking out and there is a popular shooting ground at Thimbleby Estate. The coastal resort of Whitby is only about 40 miles east.

The House - 44 South End is a superbly situated, architect designed house on the southern edge of the village with outstanding views to the Pennines.

Completed in 1996 on the site of an older property, the new house is of traditional construction with stone faced, block walls beneath a pitched and tile clad roof. It is approached from the public road onto a paved courtyard accessing the double garage and with a large sweep at the front door. It has a handsome solid appearance reflecting the quality of the materials used but it is the internal space that really brings the house to life. It has a welcoming reception hall which is open to a large dining hall with French windows onto the terrace. There is a very comfortable sitting room with similarly wonderful views and a spacious fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room adjoining a sunroom both of which open out on the terrace. It is this southwest facing terrace which joins the rooms together maximising the sunshine and taking full
advantage of the outstanding and unbroken views over to the Pennines. The master bedroom suite is also on the ground floor as well as a cloakroom, utility/laundry and downstairs WC and integral double garage.

The staircase leads to a wide, galleried, first floor landing leading to a bedroom suite, two guest bedrooms, a large family bathroom and and a study from where the views are also magnificent.

Cellars And Attic - There is a large drive-in store accessed from the lower garden terrace which acts as a useful garden store off which is a purpose-built wine cellar. There is a small walk in first
floor attic store above the garage and a fully floored main attic accessed by a hatch on the landing.

Gardens And Grounds - The gardens and grounds are impressive, extending to about 2.69 acres in all. It is a sloping site which falls away from the house to the south and west with the house at the top and a series of terraced borders and flower beds divided by pathways which lead down to the sweeping lawns and to a small paddock at the bottom. There is also a large area of mature woodland which provides shelter from the north.

The gardens are set around a series of terraced rockeries and flower beds linked by gravel paths and is full of flowering shrubs and specimen trees, with a magnolia, rhododendrons, azaleas, camelias and a variety of roses all overlooked from the stone flagged terrace which wraps around the front of the house.

At the bottom of the garden are delightful woodlands, planted over 30 years ago to provide further privacy and protection to the site. A small paddock has not been grazed in recent times and now is a mass of daffodils and there are further areas for garden waste and bonfires.

There is a separate gated entrance from the road for larger machinery down into the garden.
