The Avenue Sleights, Whitby

Astins are proud to bring to market, 'Kamsahd' (which means 'side of the hill' in old Yorkshire), a substantial residence in a highly-regarded and ever popular village of Sleights. Just a short distance from Whitby, Sleights offers a vibrant, community-led village that offers an abundance of amenities whilst retaining the natural charm one would expect from village life.
Originally built in 1912 Kamsahd was the summer residence of Mrs Gorbrick-English. It's easy to imagine why when you look at the spectacular and vast, uninterrupted views from every window! This beautiful property boasts generous accommodation throughout and even upon entry has a feeling of grandeur and opulence. A great benefit of the property is that it could lend itself to a variety of uses due to the flexibility of the layout; it could be a fantastic family home, which it has been for many happy years, or used for multigenerational living. It could incorporate a business or studio, a development opportunity or quite simply be used as a summer residence like it was at the beginning!
The accommodation is over three floors. The entrance boasts Victorian tiles to the front porch and entry porch, and this leads to a large entrance hall that takes your breath away, with period and bespoke features such as the tasteful ironmongery installed by Godbold's of Egton. It has high ceilings, high skirting boards, large windows and bursts of character with a nod to the era throughout. The entrance hall branches off to four reception spaces. Firstly, a formal dining room with music room off, a perfect entertaining space. Secondly, opposite the dining room is a lounge with large bay windows overlooking the garden and the rolling valley beyond and thirdly, a large kitchen/diner with feature Aga which is a wonderful hub of the home. There is access to a very large utility/games room from the kitchen that could lend itself to a variety of uses as well as a useful downstairs bathroom.
To the first floor there are four double bedrooms and an additional study that is the perfect artist's studio, and what better subject & inspiration than the natural surroundings of Kamsahd? There is also a family bathroom and additional shower room. An enclosed balcony dominates part of the front elevation of the building which is the perfect sun room/reading room.
To the second floor there are two further double bedrooms and walk-in storage & attic space which could be modified to fit a further bathroom or two en-suites if desired.
Externally there are wrap-around, lush green gardens with pond, decked terrace and summer house and views for absolutely miles! There is parking for several cars to the front and additional on-road parking if needed.
This property has more than the wow factor, it is the wow factor, and viewing is highly recommended to see the true grandeur and beauty of Kamsahd.
