Description

The Yorkshire Property Agency are delighted to introduce this stunning period family home located just outside the popular North Yorkshire village of Swainby. Swainby Lodge represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a luxurious and characterful family home, where traditional elegance, substantial grounds of approximately 7 acres, and an idyllic North Yorkshire setting combine to create a truly exceptional country lifestyle.

Nestled just outside the picturesque village of Swainby, on the edge of the breath-taking North York Moors National Park, Swainby Lodge is an exceptional country home that seamlessly combines timeless tradition with modern family luxury. It is an imposing family home, built in 1873, and set within approximately seven acres of private grounds, this remarkable residence offers an enviable lifestyle surrounded by some of Yorkshire's most beautiful countryside.

Approached via a private entrance, the property immediately conveys a sense of grandeur and exclusivity. The extensive grounds provide a stunning backdrop to the house, with rolling lawns, mature trees, and open countryside views creating an atmosphere of peace and privacy rarely found. Inside, Swainby Lodge showcases a beautifully preserved traditional interior, rich in character and craftsmanship featuring period detailing, exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and bespoke joinery, creating warm and inviting spaces ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining on a grand scale. Large windows frame picturesque views of the surrounding landscape while filling the home with natural light.

Swainby lodge briefly consists of two elegant reception rooms featuring substantial bay-windows, multi-fuel burning stoves and high ceilings, a further separate dining-room for more formal entertaining, a fabulous bespoke 'Amdega' conservatory with direct garden and terrace access, a stylish yet traditional 'Percy Stevenson' kitchen with island, breakfast bar, integrated appliances and oil-fired AGA stove, a separate utility room and two downstairs WC's. Upstairs, the first-floor rooms are linked by a spacious landing filled with natural light and boasts three charming 'guest' double bedrooms and a luxurious master-bedroom with bespoke hand-made storage and stunning en-suite facilities.

The generous accommodation provides ample space for modern family life, and flexible living areas that can adapt to a variety of needs. Every room reflects the property's enduring sense of heritage while offering the comfort expected of a premium country residence.

The private drive leads into secure off-street parking for multiple cars sweeping around the house. Furthermore, the property boasts a charming brick-built coach house, (recently re-roofed) including garage and tool shed, a games-room above and three immaculate boxes.

Swainby Lodge further benefits from substantial private wrap-around gardens including stunning mature trees, a wildlife pond and a west facing terrace (ideal for al-fresco entertaining), a secure and alarmed aluminium shed; ideal for storage of agricultural machinery or cars; and four grass paddocks totalling approximately seven acres for the entire site.

LOCATION

Nestled at the foot of the dramatic Cleveland Hills and positioned on the western fringe of the North York Moors National Park, Swainby is one of North Yorkshire's most sought-after village locations. Combining breath-taking scenery with excellent accessibility, the village offers an enviable balance between rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Situated approximately eight miles north-east of Northallerton and five miles south-west of Stokesley, it enjoys superb links to the A19, Teesside, York and the wider region.

Characterised by attractive stone-built homes, traditional Yorkshire architecture and a charming beck that meanders through the heart of the village, Swainby retains a strong sense of heritage and community. The historic village core is designated as a conservation area, with many properties constructed from local sandstone beneath distinctive pantile roofs, creating a timeless and picturesque streetscape. Mature trees, stone walls and green verges further enhance the village's quintessential rural character.

Surrounded by some of North Yorkshire's most spectacular countryside, Swainby is a paradise for walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. A network of footpaths and bridleways leads directly from the village into the Cleveland Hills and the wider North York Moors, offering endless opportunities to explore open moorland, woodland and panoramic viewpoints. The village is widely regarded as one of the principal gateways to the western escarpment of the National Park.

The village benefits from a range of local amenities that support a thriving community lifestyle, including traditional public houses, village facilities and nearby services in Stokesley and Northallerton. Residents enjoy the atmosphere of a vibrant rural community while remaining within easy reach of larger employment centres and transport connections.
