Description
The property is complemented by large gardens mostly to the front and side which feature a large lawn, a mix of well-established trees, plants and shrubs together with a pond and patio areas. There is a further orchard and approximately 12 acres of grass and woodland. There is also ample parking to the front of the property for a number of vehicles.
The property is situated in an idyllic position adjacent the River Swale which is secluded and peaceful yet only a short walk to the town centre. It is a real hidden gem.
ACCOMMODATION
The property is beautifully presented throughout and has been very well maintained during the vendors 26-year ownership. The extensive accommodation is fully double glazed, benefits from oil fired central heating and is well appointed with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout. It also has a Bose speaker system with concealed hi-spec AV cable.
The property is entered via a spacious and welcoming entrance hall with the ground floor rooms leading off to the east and west with the stairs leading up to the first floor.
The reception hall leads through into a formal family dining room which leads beyond into an impressive, large living and sun room with bifold doors on three aspects making it beautifully light and allowing access onto the patio and gardens. This room also features an intricately carved wooden fireplace surrounding a multi fuel stove.
The dining room, living room and garden room feature limestone flooring throughout with under floor heating.
Also, on this part of the ground floor is a well proportioned home office with boiler cupboard and a cloakroom.
The entrance hall also leads into the large kitchen diner. This room is perfect for entertaining and features a range of quality wooden fitted units complemented by granite worktops and an electric Aga. There are a range of integral appliances including two fridges, a freezer, a microwave and a dishwasher together with a double Belfast sink. There is ample family dining space with windows featuring plantation shutters overlooking the gardens.
Conveniently there is a separate utility/bootroom which is plumbed for a washer and dryer and allows external access to the front of the property as well as providing internal access into the double garage.
Also accessed via the utility room is a shower room and stairs which lead up into a double bedroom (bedroom 5). This offers a great deal of flexibility and would work well as guest accommodation with a separate independent access.
To the first floor there are four further double bedrooms each with fitted wardrobes and enjoying an excellent view across the gardens and land. The principal bedroom features a dressing area together with a large ensuite bathroom featuring jacuzzi corner bath and a shower cubicle. This room is adjacent to Bedroom 5 and offers immediate scope to split and form an additional ensuite and/or link to this room on the first floor.
OUTSIDE
The Boathouse is complemented externally by large gardens to the front of the property which feature extensive lawn, a range of flower borders featuring a mix of established trees, shrubs and plants together with various patio areas and a pond with water feature.
There is an orchard with a range of fruit trees together with raised vegetable beds and various trees. This makes an ideal area for chickens. The property is further complemented by a log shed and wooden barn. There is a very large outbuilding of 650 sq feet, with mains power and water, currently providing excellent storage, but convertible to Home Office, Holiday accommodation, Cafe/Tearoom, or Home Gym and Games room.
There are 6 acres of parkland grass and extensive woodland which runs along 800m of the River Swale, enjoying Fishing Rights. The property extends to 12.5 acres which therefore provides scope for those with an equestrian interest or for a change of use if a change of lifestyle is required.
The whole property is fenced and the property has electric gates at the end of the private drive. It also has a modern multi camera CCTV system and a burglar alarm.
