Suffield Hill, Scalby

A superbly situated lifestyle property which is now ready for a full programme of improvement, but which offers a huge amount of potential to create a one-off home in a superb location. Longfield is well named, sat in well-established grounds and land of 2.4 acres enjoying outstanding views across open countryside towards the coast. All in all, an ideal property for those buyers with equestrian or small holding needs.  Longfield was built in the 1930’s as an individual property and was significantly extended around 40 years ago with two wings being added to each side, effectively doubling the original accommodation to just over 2,000 square feet in total. The scope to improve the property further is significant, with the lovely views and level of grounds offering much opportunity to create a remarkable home within easy reach of the sought after village of Scalby.  The house faces southwest with a lovely aspect northeast, taking in open countryside and both the coast and Scarborough Castle in the distance. Many of the rooms are dual aspect and enjoy lovely views. In brief the accommodation comprises the following. Sun Room/rear porch, entrance hall with cloakroom, large dual aspect dining room, sitting room with open fire and study. There is a generously sized dining kitchen with pantry, breakfast room and a separate utility room. Upstairs is the main master bedroom with a modern en-suite wet room. There are three further bedrooms with an additional room leading off Bedroom Three and well suited as a dressing room or home office. There is a shower room to the first floor. One of the principal attractions of the property is its position and grounds. Set down a lengthy private driveway the house is set back behind exceptionally mature lawned gardens.  From its elevated position along Suffield Hill the view looking northeast is tremendous. Taking in the countryside across to Scalby and the coast beyond with Scarborough castle clearly sighted in the distance. The rear garden has a more formal feel with paved patio eating area and a level lawn which gives way to a wilder garden with mature trees and then opening out into the paddock at the bottom. In all 2.4 acre. There is access directly onto Carr Lane from the paddock and from there miles of bridle paths and walks.
