Shepherds Court, HG5

Galway house is a most impressive home set in a private development of just five properties in the beautiful village of Scotton, just a short drive to Harrogate and Knaresborough.

The village is quintessentially Yorkshire, many stone built properties, an active community spirit and one of the highest regarded gastro pubs in the region. It is a location which works well for the commuter, families or those in retirement.

The home was built by a renowned local family run developer Charles Austin homes and has been rented from the start. The owner has just completed a full upgrade and redecoration which is stunning.

There is a pretty front garden, large garage and parking for at least two cars in front of the garage. Enter into the home through the large front door and you are welcomed with a home which has been beautifully finished and very well thought out. The whole first floor benefits from underfloor heating and beautiful tiling. It is soo warm on the feet and as the home has been so well built and insulated we are told energy bills are very reasonable.

From the hall there is a utility room as well as downstairs cloaks. Then we move into the stunning living room with feature stone fireplace and fully functional wood burning stove. It is a beautiful room and the ideal place to relax, entertain friends and family or just enjoy the peace and quiet.

The open plan living dining kitchen is the hub of the home. It brings a real wow factor. The kitchen has been made bespoke by a local cabinet maker and hand painted in Farrow and Ball colour scheme which offsets the classy granite work surface beautifully. There is then the grand range cooker with perfectly built surround and of course the kitchen island which everyone wants. From the kitchen you have direct access to the sun trap patio offering ideal Al fresco dining and bringing the outside in. Still in the kitchen there is plenty of room to seats at least 6-8 people. Then through stylish doors we open onto the snug which could be a comfy relaxed TV area, a large kids play room, additional kitchen space or separate dining room.

The first floor continues to impress with four bedrooms, one with ensuite and a lovely house bathroom with tub. For those not requiring all the rooms for sleeping one could make an excellent home office or dressing room.

Windows are classy sliding sash and there is a warm neutral tone throughout allowing most furniture to work very well.

Externally the house is a real bonus. The gardens are large and very private with mature trees surrounding.

For those with children there are school bus runs from the village to the main state and private schools.

The village enjoys good broadband speeds and the house is on mains gas/electric/sewage so all very simple and cost efficient to run and maintain.

Overall one of the most sought after village locations and a very rare home to find available in the rental market. We anticipate strong interest in this stunning stone built home so do book your viewing very soon.
